I think that to look young we must take care of ourselves. to practice any sport: running, swimming, soccer, the sport that you like the most; or just try walking every day for thirty minutes, for example.

1) What is an anti-aging cream? Do you believe in its effectiveness?
An anti-aging cream is a cosmetic formulation whose composition aims to improving the skin hydratation and preventing skin´s cell from oxidation processes. Moreover, some anti-aging creams are commonly enriched with excipients such as vitamin C and vitamin A whose the most remarkable benefit is to reduce skin spots. Finally, other beneficial compounds which increase the value of these demanded products are collagen and elastin because of their tightening properties.
From my point of view, they are not miracle products. Therefore, they don´t stop the natural skin aging process but, they delayed the onset of aging effects.
Are they expensive in your country? Who usually buys them?
There is a wide variety of prices depending on their composition, packaging, and the brand. Generally, creams sold at the community pharmacies are usually more expensive because pharmacists recommend the cream that could be more convenient according to the client skin´s characteristics (sensitive, dry, acne…) and the cream´s composition.
Perhaps women used to buy anti-aging creams more often, nowadays I would say there is not difference with regards to the gender. On contrary, I believe that in terms of the age, people on their 30´s-40´s are the main anti-aging cream´s consumers.
Are you a fan of anti-aging cream? Do you think you have the need to use them?
I am not a fan of anti-aging creams, but I must recognise that I am currently using this kind of cosmetics because the first expression wrinkles have been showed up on the eye contour area and the forehead.
If you would be asked to test a product, would you do it?
I would do so, but I would also like to bring up that people who are candidate to participate in a trial, must comply with some inclusion criteria and for this reason is not easy to suit its requirements.
