The anti-aging or anti-wrinkle marketplace is a jungle of high priced creams that seemingly offer little and low priced options that achieve nothing. However, for those consumers who are frustrated with what's available in stores, there are some home remedies that are often touted as miracle solutions at a fraction of the price.
Because eye puffiness can expand skin around the eye area, and then it becomes stretched over a period of time, it can cause wrinkles when it constricts. For years, models have been said to use Preparation H in the eye area for puffiness, although it is not recommended by the drug's maker, Wyeth as they caution to not get any near the eye or mouth area. The principle behind this usage is the shrinking of a swollen area when used as directed, and so it is based on the premise that keeping eye puffiness to a minimum will keep the skin from stretching, and that new "un-stretched" cells eventually appear and have a more youthful appearance.
There are many testimonials that this method works. How it works, is what needs to be looked at. In the original formula of Prep H, that was made back in the 30's, it contained Biodyne, (which is also called LYCD, live yeast culture developments), and shark liver oil, which has strong antioxidant powers and is used in some cancer treatments, due to the slowdown of cell turnover. Over 10 years ago, the FDA banned these ingredients in Prep H and today's formula now contains phenylephrine, which is a type of astringent. However, people that are still using it in anti aging and wrinkle treatment still claim that it works, so it may be that the other ingredients it contains, such as mineral oil, petrolatum, corn oil, lanolin and thyme oil, which are all emollients, may be the ingredients that are showing wrinkle reduction.
In previous times, olive oil was said to be a home remedy that produced wrinkle reduction and it has been found that shark liver oil can now be made synthetically from olives, rice and wheat germ, as additives in anti-aging creams and anti-wrinkle creams. You can still buy the original formula Preparation H containing Biodyne with LYCD and shark oil from Canada, and many people do, as it is still cheaper than some treatments that claim to contain these ingredients.
Cocoa Butter products also have been touted as good skin rejuvenators, and this is found in many anti-aging cream formulas, as well as many sun exposure products. In summary, it would appear the benefits might come from the intense oil content of the products and emollient properties. There are some anti-aging creams and anti-wrinkle creams sold on the Internet, that claim to contain LYCD's or shark liver oil, but not like the original Prep H formulation. Preparation H in its present form has a blood vessel constrictor, which is what minimizes the swelling effect. It is not recommended that it be used in the eye area over a pro-longed period of time. - 15683
