Wipe Away The Wrinkles

March 3, 2006 | Posted by Allison as Personal Care at 12:35 pm | (1) Comment »

Today I was gallivanting around Forbes and noticed a Most Expensive Cosmetics article.  This one blew me away.  $600 for one ounce of volumizing serum.  It’s like, pay the car payment for the month, or battle the wrinkles.  You decide.

Made with keratinocyte growth factor, this serum is said to turn over dead skin cells eight times faster than normal skin, plumping trouble areas like frown lines and crow’s feet.

Dr. Gregory Brown, RéVive’s founder and president and a plastic surgeon, says he never intended to use his research on epidermal growth factor–published in 1989 in the New England Journal of Medicine–to make a skincare line.

“I started making it for my mother and me, then I started giving it to patients, and then a friend of a friend was head of Neiman Marcus and suggested I started making it for the store,” he says.

I hope he doesn’t look at me like that when I’m getting my new do, I think I’d have to run away.

For those of you who thought four razors were the cutting edge, watch out for the new, the bold: Gillette Fusion & Gillette Fusion Power.  It’s bold, it’s sexy and its five razors are ready to make the ultimate shave.

Gillette has recently come on the market with the 5-bladed Fusion, in manual and a nifty power one as well.  The company makes claims that this “revolutionary new five-blade shaving surface” will help facilite in the best shave a man can get.

The product was unveiled at Super Bowl XL last weekend, just in time to get that face nice and smooth for Valentine’s Day.  Cost, $10 – $12.

I can’t wait for the future when we’re all using 22-blade razors.
