There are thousands of anti-aging products available, but do any of them really remove fine lines and wrinkles. Do they give women the more youthful appearance?
Good Housekeeping performed the first – and largest – scientific study comparing products making anti-aging claims in a dozen categories.
The scientists at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute evaluated 90 products in 12 categories, conducting 3,000 lab tests and 5,600 before and after photos on 820 volunteers, ages 35 and older, over the course of 18 months.
The 14 winning treatments and 12 honorable mentions received the highest rankings in lab and consumer tests and will offer readers guidance to make the smartest investments in products that actually work.
