[edit] Removed

Removed the marketing speak, they should be at Anti-aging_cream or similar article.

However, some non-invasive treatments (like Botox) can offer significant results in the short-term. Some chemicals commonly used in anti-aging creams, such as Retin-A have been shown to have some effect on skin regeneration and collagen rebuilding.

Replenishing the skin's natural oils, for example by using Lanolin, goes a long way to reducing the appearance of wrinkles and it also prevents fine lines from becoming fully fledged wrinkles too quickly. Care should be taken not to over-expose the skin to sun, which robs the skin of it's natural oils.

Gamma linoleic acid contributes to the skin's repair process. The combination of natural oils in Repcillin is high in gamma linoleic acid and fully penetrates the skin, without clogging the pores, giving the appearance of reducing wrinkles and facilitating skin repair at the same time.

NB Repcillin is merely the name of a commercial ointment

Removed two external links, both of which were promotional for companies/clinics selling the sort of anti-wrinkle treatment that the article notes generally don't work. Vicki Rosenzweig 02:09, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

The image in this article looks a little too much like a dead finger, looks to white. I know it's just a trick of the light, but could someone find a more sutible/realistic image?
