The Bullshit Pseudo-Science Ingredients Thread!!

[Rocky]

oh dear I have a terrible confession.

I bought a jar of L'oreal Wrinkle-Decrease with Boswellox a couple of days ago - it was in the How to Look Good Naked thread - and I couldnt resist the thought that it might actually work...and I went out and bought it. ( silly middle-aged woman!)

Can I pop over to your place sometime and see if it worked.

I don't want to emulate Andy Gray here, but women are so gullible when it comes to anti ageing creams and anti wrinkle products. No such thing, it's all rubbish.

If these products worked, celebrities wouldn't pay out tens of thousands of pounds on cosmetic surgery. They'd just go to Boots or the Body Shop and stock up on the anti everything creams and save a fortune.

Fancy lendin' me half a mil?

Cost ya 25% interest.

One thing's for sure..these vanity product fanatics will have the best skin in the cemetery when they pass on.

More likely the worst. They intentional make the products to make the skin worse so they keep buying more and more in the vain hope of fixing it.

A jar of ordinary Nivea moisturising cream.. £2-99 in any chemist will do more for the skin than a ton of the expensive rubbish.

Women are so gullible it's unbelievable.

Read somewhere that the main active ingredient in most skin care products was acid. Basically it works by destroying the top level of skin cells so they replace quicker. Sounds nasty.

Even better .... water!! Moisturise from the inside. And a 99% fat free diet doesn't help them either. The Body needs oils
