There are hundreds if not thousands of wrinkle cream products stocked high upon store shelves. There are so many products available to choose, that selecting between them might give a shopper more wrinkles and gray hair than they had already!

Luckily, with those wrinkles came wisdom, and wisdom has brought you here to find a way to tell the products that you will be happiest with. The following considerations are not intended to steer readers toward or away from any specific products, but rather offer some ideas for narrowing down that field of hundreds or thousands into several, or dozens.

First, consider the history of the product. A product with longevity has an advantage. If the daughter recognizes her mother’s brand on the shelf, she is probably willing to try it herself. If a product sells consistently over the years, fighting off its considerable competition, somebody must like it. However, if the product is inexpensive, it might not be clear whether the product has persevered because of quality or low price. The product may be ineffective and still successful!

The other side of this consideration is the allure of the new - new product, new brand, new technology, new discoveries - and the common knowledge that the new will replace the old, eventually. No one can tell you whether the new product will work for you until you try it, but at some point, every product was new. Not every product was revolutionary.

That leads to the second consideration, the price. The price of an item often affects our opinion of its quality. That does not necessarily mean that a more expensive product is better. It is probably safe to say, however, that a cream available for 99 cents at the grocery store has little value, or else they could sell it for a higher price. A balance between the product’s history and its price seems a possible clue to its value if you haven’t already tried it.

Another consideration is the retailer that carries the product. Some products aren’t available everywhere. Whether you feel that your department store carries better wrinkle creams than your pharmacy, the beauty shop products are almost always better than the discount store products. Remember that marketers are very aware of the effect that their retailers have on consumers. It is up to you to decide whether you believe that better products are only available in more exclusive stores, or if they are available everywhere because everybody loves a great product.

The last factor to consider is the sales pitch you get for the various products. Some point out that they are not tested on animals, some guarantee results or your money back, others come with free gifts and accessories, and still others carry the names of celebrities. Yes, animal testing and free gifts should receive their due consideration, but it would seem that trying several different products would ultimately be the best way to find a favorite, and as such it’s hard to beat a no-risk, money back guarantee.

No matter what you choose, be happy. Your opinions on the ideas above are intended only to help you find a product that makes you happy, faster than you would have otherwise. Have fun trying new products, make it an adventure, and you’ll be well on your way.
