We can't take anybody's word for anything. The best way to keep from premature aging (and let's face it, we're all gonna age) is to not drink alcohol, smoke tobacco and over expose to the sun. Very simple really.

Reduces the appearance of fine lines simply means the moisturizer binds hydration to your skin and plumps it up. That's why you moisturize after you wash. Your face has had water introduced and your skin has absorbed some of it and the moisturizer locks the moisture in.
The other one I like is that *fill in a high percentage* of women saw a definite improvement to their appearance.
Well -- yeah. They got this stuff and started really looking. I never really inspect my face -- I slap the spackle on, tweeze a few crazy hairs and I'm off. Give me something that might be a bit more emollient and make me inspect my face for six weeks and I'd see an improvement, too, because I'd bet I'd take far better care of my face then, too.
And, although it SOUNDS sceintific... there's no scientificness about a percentage of women seeing better skin.... doesn't mean the skin IS better.
