When I initially started using these two products I was slightly skeptical about trying creams that claim to help with lifting the skin.   Being at the age of mid to late 40s I have certainly noticed that my skin is changing so much over the last year and, in particular, have noticed that there are more fine lines and my skin is losing the tightness.
