|
| 13 brands of anti-wrinkle creams tested and rated |
| Anti-wrinkle cream prices go upto Rs 7,000 but high price does not ensure high quality |
| Labelling claims not in consonance with actual performance results in reducing wrinkles |
|
With growing anxiety about one's appearance and the cosmetics industry going all out to cash in on consumer insecurities, anti-wrinkle creams, that have always been a rage among western consumers, are making their presence felt in Indian markets. Worldwide the French people are the greatest spenders on skin care products. They spend more than a 100 Euros on purchase of cosmetics and perfumes every year, ahead of Americans, the Japanese and the British. There are around 3,20,000 skin care products sold every year. |
The anti-wrinkle cream tests reveal that different creams have different effects on different people. However, one very popular brand comes out worse in performance than an ordinary moisturiser.
