A reader sent the following question on Canadian Preparation H for wrinkles, and I responded.  I reported that I was trying this product for wrinkles a few weeks back after reading it’s benefits for fine lines and wrinkles.  I have since suspended (not indefinitely) it’s use due to the fact that I can’t stand the texture and the odor.  I will most likely be experimenting with it again in the winter though,  so I’ll keep you all posted!

Question :

So you are quitting the Prep H? How did you end up liking strivectin? What would you reccomend for puffy tired eyes, not really any wrinkles yet, but I always look tired!
Stumbled on your blog today, and Im a big fan! I am a bit product obessed myself!

Hey there!  Well, I haven’t entirely given up, I just took a break from the Preparation H product for a while in favor of less offensive smelling products.  I’m also trying to use products that have a huge antioxidant factor in them.  Like right now I’m using one I really like by Skin Eternal called Skin Eternal serum with DMAE, Alpha Lipoic Acid and Vitamin C Ester in it, all of which are Dr. Perricone recommended ingredients for both inside and outside for the skin. 

I like it a lot, and while I can’t be sure if it’s actually helping with the fine lines yet, I love the way it gives my skin a nice natural little glow.  I will come back to the Canadian Preparation H for wrinkle care, but I almost feel like it’s a better suited product for older skink, or at the very least, to be used in the dry winter since it’s a highly emollient and thick cream, and I could see it causing problems for my oily skin in warmer weather when I tend to get a lot greasier to begin with.
