Though they weren't looking for the best anti-aging cream, in a remarkable turn of events, arguably one of the strangest in the history of cosmetics, women across the country are putting a stretch-mark cream called StriVectin-SD on their face to diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and crows' feetAnd, if consumer sales are any indication of a product's effectiveness, StriVectin-SD is nothing short of a miracle.
Women, as well as a growing number of "Boomer" men, are buying so much StriVectin-SD that finding a tube at your local cosmetic counter has become just about impossible.
Has everyone gone mad? Well... not really. This just happens to turn out to be the best anti-aging cream on the market.
Although StriVectin-SD functional components were already backed by clinical trials documenting their ability to visibly reduce the appearance of existing stretch marks (prominent because of their depth, length, discoloration and texture)... the success of StriVectin-SD as an anti-wrinkle cream was "dumb luck," says Gina Gay, spokesperson for Klein-Becker, StriVectin-SD's exclusive distributor.
"When we first handed out samples of the StriVectin-SD formula to employees and customers as part of our market research, the sample tubes were simply marked "topical cream" with the lot number underneath," Ms. Gay explains.
"As the samples were passed to friends and family, the message became a little muddled and some people used this "topical cream" as a facial moisturizer. As we began to receive feedback from users, like "I look 10 years younger" and "I can't even notice my crows' feet" we knew we had something more than America's most effective stretch-mark cream.
The point was driven home as store owners began reporting that almost as many people were purchasing StriVectin-SD as an anti-aging cream as were buying it to reduce stretch marks!"
So this is a heads-up for not just women, but men as well, who are looking for something much less invasive than surgery or Botox.
