By my early 50s, the changes in my complexion had become harder to ignore. My jawline looked less defined in photographs. Deep smile lines created shadows around my mouth. Fine creases gathered beneath my eyes, while foundation seemed to make the pores across my cheeks look even more noticeable.

I had already tried rich moisturizers, firming masks and expensive anti-aging creams. Some helped my skin feel softer. None gave me the immediate refined appearance I was looking for. I was not searching for a product that promised to permanently change my face.
