What They Say:

• Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, making the skin appear softer, suppler, and smoother
• Biopeptide-CL and hyaluronic acid help support and maintain the skin's natural production of collagen for skin that looks softer, smoother, and firmer
• Contains age-defying ingredients ubiquinone, DMAE, selenium, lipoic acid, soy extract, and Argireline
• Lightweight makeup covers flaws and imperfections
• Contains aloe, which helps moisturize the skin
• SPF 15 (UVA/UVB protection)

Unlike any other foundation, Ageless Skin Foundation contains Dr. Copeland's Age-Defying ERASE Complex, which has an exclusive blend of age-defying ingredients and SPF 15 protection. It not only covers up but also helps solve skin issues with powerful anti-aging ingredients like Argireline, DMAE, and Coenzyme Q10. Contains aloe, a natural moisturizer. Blends in easily and evenly to provide a smooth, natural finish.

Clinical Research
In an independent study, 26 women used Ageless Skin Foundation with Age-Defying ERASE Complex, provided in a white, unmarked container. After 6 weeks of use:

• 81% noticed the overall quality of their skin had improved
  
• 73% noticed improved skin firmness/better tone
  
• 80% noticed their skin was less dry
  
• 77% noticed smoother, softer skin
  
• 50% saw a noticeable lessening of fine lines and wrinkles

What Lisa Says: I'll get straight to the point - this is a LOVELY foundation! I received this foundation in "Natural" which was a smidge too dark for my complexion but still very workable. The only negative thing I can say is that I did not see any lessening of fine lines or wrinkles. I did notice that my skin looked and felt more hydrated, the overall look had improved (in terms of tone and hydration) and even my husband noticed an improvement in the softness. That's saying something!

As far as coverage goes, if you don't like to feel anything on your skin, this may not be for you; however, I felt like I was wearing a "protective glove" on my skin rather than foundation. The product is very build-able and while I tested application with fingertips, foundation brush and sponge, I found a brush gave the prettiest finish and the max coverage with the least amount of product. Very pretty! I have darkened areas due to sun damage and this product not only covered, but my skin glowed and it felt and looked like I had nothing on. I opted to wear this without setting powder and experienced no cracks or 'wrinkle lines'. Powder blush went on top just fine as did cream.

DeLush Rating:

What They Say: A powerful plumper that visibly enhances your lips.

* Powerful lip dilators deliver fuller, plumper lips immediately
* Lips become smoother and firmer with continued use, yet remain kissably soft
* Protects from harsh ultraviolet rays
* Helps reduce fine lines around the lip line
* Can be used with lipstick or alone as a gloss

Unique blend of enriched antioxidants and anti-wrinkle complex enhances lips in minutes while providing protection from the sun and damaging free radicals.

Apply as needed for plump, luscious lips. For best results, wait five minutes before applying lipstick. Reapply every few hours as needed.

What Lisa Says: Like so many women, eager to have the perfect pout, I jumped on the opportunity to test this "lip enhancer". The best things I can say about this product was that it doesn't burn like some plumping products and it does add some shine to your lip color.

I used this product daily and, when I didn't see immediate results, I was hoping for a gradual plumping, and/or wrinkle smoothing on and around the lip area. What I got was drier lips that finally DID start to sting after about two weeks due to extreme dryness. I had to discontinue use. Add to poor results, a sponge tip applicator that deposits product around the rim. Each time you replace the lid, what you're left with is a gooey tube of product you wouldn't dare drop in a handbag. The fragrance is slightly herbal and smells faintly of cinnamon. The shine is not high gloss and, what shine there is does not last long. Considering the price of this little tube and all the above, I'd look elsewhere for a plumper/smoother/gloss.
