Wrinkle Cream Reviews - A Historic Perspective

Wrinkle cream reviews have been around almost as long as wrinkle creams. Initially written for the purposes of informing prospective buyers of wrinkle creams about their various merits, in later years, the reviews have become biased by salesmanship and selling tactics.

The first wrinkle cream reviews were of a factual nature. They were written by scientists whose aim was to analyze the properties of the cream, their manufacture, effectiveness and detrimental affects (these were common among early wrinkle creams).

The typical reviewer from that era had a full scientific education and several years of experience in similar fields. In those days, competition for scientific research jobs was high and so finding highly qualified staff was not difficult.

The early reviewers aimed to find the best anti aging wrinkle cream on the market and performed many experiments to achieve this. They would test the creams on skin from various sources including dead skin, dismembered skin, animal skin (mainly mouse and weasel, but also cat) and live human skin.

Not only did the reviewers test the creams on many types of skin, they also tested them on skin of different ages. This allowed the creams to be judged on a per-wrinkle basis. Hence, they were able to say whether a cream was better for elderly cat skin, for example, or young dismembered skin. This research was very valuable.

The reviewers probably spent more time in the lab than they did writing their final drafts. This is as it should be, as the quality of the wrinkle cream reviews was based on hard scientific fact rather than speculation and fancy words. However, once an adequate assessment of each wrinkle cream had been produced and the best wrinkle cream determined, the reviewers began their writing process.

To ensure that wrinkle cream reviews were elegantly written and accurate in their content, writing was performed by a team of reviewers. Typically four people would be involved in the writing: one to construct the first draft, one to edit it, one to proof-read and the last to approve the final version. The reviews themselves often contained complex scientific information because it was believed that this was beneficial for the potential customers.

I contend that modern reviews of wrinkle creams suffer from influence by those involved with the product, and the aim of many reviews is simply to market the cream. It also seems that creams are no longer subjected to vigorous scientific testing, this is a shame.
