A new anti-ageing cream released in the United Kingdom is currently making waves, drawing in legions of loyal fans across the country. The new “miracle cream” has been touted as responsible for pushing back wrinkles and undoing the discoloration and unsightly ridges caused by stretch marks.

Nicknamed the “botox killer”, the anti-ageing, anti-wrinkling and anti-stretch marks cream is now being sold at an amazing pace in department stores across the UK. The tale of this new “botox killer” is quite simple, yet interesting. The American firm that made the cream was actually planning to market it solely as an anti-stretch marks cream that would reduce discoloration and degree of appearance of the stretch marks on the surface of the skin.

Of course, they wanted to test the cream first, and so they gave away small sample tubes to people. As the test tubes spread around the country, people thought that the cream was to be applied to the face as well.

The firm was surprised to get good feedback regarding the effectiveness of the cream in reducing wrinkles and fine lines around the face. Confessing that it was simply dumb luck that the product worked on the face as well, the company integrated “anti-wrinkling” to the product’s purported benefits.

Word spread around the country about the new “botox killer” and people soon began reserving their own sets of the cream when they saw the results.

Hoax or skin magic?

Though we would not want to sound too patronizing of a new product, it seems that the positive effects of this new product are indeed noteworthy. Aside from the usual throng of celebrities like Charlize Theron who flocked to buy the new anti-ageing cream, even common people like longtime makeup artists and production designers were convinced that there really was something to this new product.

These “small folk” knew what it was really like to look good, having been exposed to show business for a long time.

The premise for the new anti-ageing product was quite simple- apply the product no more than 3 times a day, and keep the area free from other substances or pollutants in the meantime. Three times a day translated roughly to about an application every 6-8 hours, which is a perfect routine even for working women.

There was no strict age range for this new product. Women aged 21 to 50 all used the same product the same number of times (though with differing periods of time) and got the same results.

As for those who used the new cream on the stretch marks themselves, results were doubly positive. It seems that sometimes, OTC or over the counter medications can really work wonders on the human skin.

But then again, products like these remain one in a million, and it still remains to be seen whether this product can be used by pregnant or lactating women who are the people who are most prone to stretch marks and who really, really need effective help at once.

A representative of the Cranley Clinic in London, Dr. Nick Lowe, stated that there was nothing special about the cream: “Looking at the list of ingredients, it really is a rehash of the classic ingredients of most moisturisers, like shea butter and almond oil, all of them well tried and tested to rehydrate the skin temporarily - but nothing that I can see would bring about a fundamental change in the appearance of the skin.”
