I agree! Speaking purely about wrinkles, I think creams can work - TO A POINT. They're never going to perform a miracle and we shouldn't want them to. I'm not opposed to Botox for smoothing out frown lines (which can make you look angry even when you're not!) but the crinkles at the corner of your eyes, for example, aren't really a big deal.

HOWEVER - I do think improving your skin's texture - which changes as you age - is a worthwhile beauty goal. I would say that's part topical and part lifestyle/diet.

So yes - paying $850 seems pretty over the top!
