Details
I saw Dr. Nicholas Perricone on a sort of infomercial on public television. He suggested that for three days, a person should consume only eggs, salmon, greens with olive oil, berries, and melons, in addition to lots of water. The result would be healthier, younger looking, rejeuvinated skin. Well I tried it and I was getting unsolicited compliments left and right, so I knew Dr. Perricone must be onto something. I investigated the rest of his advice online, and from what I gathered, the three most useful topical compounds were alpha lipoic acid, ester C, and DMAE. When I saw how much Dr. Perricone was charging for his own products containing the compounds, I decided to see if I could find a less expensive alternative. After searching numerous discount stores online I found that the least expensive cream that contained all three ingredients was by Reviva, but I purchased it at the Vitamin Shoppe (Reviva's online store cost more). I applied it all over my face and neck and I could actually feel my skin tightening almost right away. I haven't started significantly sagging yet, so I might have seen more dramatic results if I were a little older. However, I think this could be a great way to prevent sagging, because I can see a difference, and even more so, I can FEEL it. The biggest difference I noticed was that it lifted my top lip enough so that my teeth were more visible. It's not a facelift, but I do look more rested and refreshed - I highly recommend it! It seems probable that anything with DMAE would have the same effect, so try out whichever kind you like.

Conclusions
This is an effective product - find something with DMAE and try it!
