00:00 Every year Americans fan up for $20 billion

00:03 to look like they did 20 years ago.

00:04 But there are secrets the beauty industry

00:06 does not want you to know about

00:08 the anti-aging products that you buy every day.

00:10 Lisa Lee Freeman is helping us.

00:11 She's been doing independent testing

00:12 and investigating these products.

00:13 She's the editor-in-chief of Shop Smart Magazine.

00:16 So why doesn't the beauty industry

00:17 want us to know about these secrets?

00:18 Because they want you to keep buying and trying

00:20 all of these hundreds of products

00:22 that they develop and sell every year.

00:25 But the truth is, is that they don't give you

00:27 the dramatic results.

00:29 If they gave you dramatic results

00:30 and actually changed the structure of your skin,

00:32 they'd be drugs.

00:33 They'd be regulated as drugs.

00:35 They'd be prescriptions.

00:36 But you can get some results.

00:39 And our tests have shown over the years

00:40 you don't have to pay a lot to get results.

00:43 That message appealed to me a lot.

00:44 If you can get some of the benefits you desire

00:45 for a lot less money, then that's real value.

00:47 So the first secret we're gonna talk about

00:49 are the under-eye circle erasers.

00:50 The hundreds of these are out in the market right now.

00:53 I've got a little image.

00:54 Who's tried some of these, by the way?

00:56 These under-eye circle erasers?

00:57 Everybody.

00:58 They're all putting their hands up like this

00:59 so sheepishly.

01:00 (audience laughing)

01:01 Here's the secret.

01:03 The best tested circle erasers contain caffeine.

01:06 Caffeine, they have to have that.

01:08 Now why is that so important?

01:09 Well, first I just wanna say that most under-eye circles

01:12 are due to genetics or allergies,

01:13 and that's very difficult to treat.

01:16 However, if you do get a product with caffeine in it,

01:18 you have a chance at making a slight difference.

01:21 For example, those bags under your eyes,

01:24 caffeine will help--

01:25 These bags.

01:26 Yeah, see that? What is those bags on your eyes?

01:28 They help reduce water retention,

01:30 so that actually helps smooth your skin,

01:33 and it also helps restrict the blood vessels in your eyes,

01:35 which reduces that dark look under your eyes.

01:38 So one product that has caffeine in it

01:40 is this particular product from MAC.

01:42 It's $30.

01:43 But really what you just wanna do is look for a product

01:45 that advertises caffeine in it.

01:47 Look at ingredient labels.

01:48 You can go online and find that out.

01:50 And these are relatively affordable?

01:52 Yeah, like I said, this is 30,

01:53 but if your dark circles don't go away,

01:55 you should go see a dermatologist

01:57 and find out if there are prescription creams

01:59 that might be worth trying,

02:00 or laser treatments, or even dermal fillers might help you.

02:04 Very fresh.

02:05 If it's not working for you, it's not wasting your money.

02:06 The second secret is about anti-wrinkle creams.

02:08 Now, ShopSmart spent 12 weeks comparing different creams,

02:11 and here's a video of some of the extensive testing

02:13 that you did.

02:14 And if you can, walk me through what you found.

02:16 Well, we had 80 subjects,

02:18 and we tested these creams for 12 weeks,

02:19 which is about the timeframe

02:21 that the advertisements say they're gonna work.

02:23 And what we found is we tested creams

02:25 from $8, and in the past,

02:27 we've tested creams as much as $400.

02:30 And what we found is spending more

02:32 doesn't necessarily get you better results.

02:34 This $16 cream from Garnier

02:36 was our top-tested cream in our last test,

02:39 but you might get good results

02:40 in terms of it plumps up the skin,

02:42 it's gonna make those fine lines less noticeable.

02:45 Well, in the studies you did,

02:46 did the women actually perceive differences?

02:48 Yes, absolutely.

02:49 But only about half of them.

02:51 I gotta say, if half the women are happy with a $16 cream,

02:53 I think you're probably worth trying.

02:55 Okay, the next secret is about cleansers

02:57 with acids, peptides, and vitamins.

02:59 Now, what's the secret here?

03:01 Do these things really work?

03:02 Well, you know, cleansers are only on your skin

03:04 for like 30 seconds,

03:06 so whatever is in those cleansers

03:09 isn't going to really penetrate or make a difference.

03:11 So if you're gonna spend money,

03:12 don't spend it on a cleanser.

03:13 Put that money into a good moisturizer

03:15 with those ingredients.

03:17 But one thing that you should think about

03:19 is getting a cleanser that is right for your skin.

03:23 For example, if you have dry skin,

03:24 you don't wanna get a cleanser with harsh ingredients

03:27 that might actually irritate your skin.

03:28 By the way, this is a cleanser that did well in our test.

03:32 These Olay cleansing cloths, they're only $7,

03:34 and they did just as well as products

03:36 that were a lot more expensive in our tests.

03:38 I counted these up, I got 33 of these in a box.

03:40 Is that right?

03:41 Yep, exactly.

03:41 Not bad.

03:42 I think I'm home with you.

03:43 Not bad at all.

03:44 Thank you.

03:45 And the next secret is about scar eliminators.

03:47 Who's tried scar eliminators?

03:49 About a third of the audience, probably.

03:52 So what's the secret about scar eliminators?

03:54 Well, they don't work, basically,

03:55 'cause you can't turn scar tissue back to regular skin.

03:59 That's the problem.

04:00 You might be able to get some redness reduced

04:02 by using these products,

04:04 but you're not gonna get a scar to turn back to regular skin.

04:06 Let me show you an animation to explain why

04:08 it's nearly impossible to reverse a scar

04:10 just with using one of these cosmetic products.

04:12 Let's say you're working in the kitchen

04:13 and you're cutting some onions,

04:15 and you've mistakenly made a little cut in your finger.

04:17 What really happens in there?

04:18 Well, as those skin edges come apart,

04:20 your body secretes fluids, white blood cells,

04:22 all these different elements come together

04:23 to provide a nutrient base in that scab

04:27 for collagen to grow.

04:28 Collagen is like ropes.

04:29 They wind around each other,

04:30 and as they grow through there,

04:31 they actually literally, like,

04:33 ropes pull together the skin.

04:34 It's tough stuff.

04:35 It changes color sometimes,

04:37 and gets slightly raised as well.

04:38 Doesn't have the right amount of melanin in it.

04:41 It can become this big, you know, unattractive element,

04:45 but you can't turn that back.

04:46 Thousands of years of evolution

04:48 just with a cosmetic cream.

04:49 So what do you recommend?

04:50 Talk to your dermatologist,

04:51 and find out about laser treatments,

04:53 or even plastic surgery that might be able to help you.

04:56 All right, you can go to DrOz.com

04:57 to find the recommendations from ShopSmart Magazine.

04:59 I'm saving the best for last,

05:01 my favorite anti-aging secret from the grocery store
