I like Olay, but this article is missing some great products, those from Murad and other companies.

Some of these products look good. Wish there was a way to know the amounts of the active ingredients they contain as this sometimes matters more.

I have had Botox injections and I was pleased with the results. The Dr. I used had the right idea that, Less is Better. I am a man, and she stressed two things: Men have thicker skin, and You dont want to risk looking obviously injected with Botox. She started on the low side and over the course of a two year period, got the formula just right. On one side of my face, the muscles were stronger. I was given injections and each time I was told to revisit within a week if I felt one side needed tweeking. This was necessary more than once because of a habit I have of furrowing my brow. The effects lasted longer with each treatment AND I was prescribed a cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturing routine. Plus I started yoga for stress. The injection sights were massaged with a numbing agent before the needle was even brought into the room each time. All I felt was the pressure form the injection. No pain and never any bruising. i do have large pores where I percieve the injection sights to be, this could be my imagination, not noticeable to anyone but me. It has been about a year since my last treatment and I have moved to another state. I am trying a new Dr. tomorrow. I hope the results are the same or better! I am glad I had the treatments done.

I would consider Botox under one condition. They are saying a benefit is for pain. I avoid shots in general, but pain does have me reconsider. I do agree certain foods and not smoking help. And, I am taking note that I need to keep using my products longer to see results.

I totally appreciate seeing timelines for results from people who have a lot of experience with these products! I have some new products on my list of things to try now. Thanks!

sounds like botox is still better, cause it has long-lasting effects, and is probably cheaper than buying all of these... also, the products that give "instant results" are as good as plain primers that just even skin out while you're wearing them.... they don't really solve any problems.
