The Bottom Line
The Crème Ancienne formulation seems to only contain fairly common ingredients which makes one wonder why the high price tag. $250 is a lot to pay for ingredients that can be found virtually at any drug store beauty counter. The list of ingredients reveal that the formula contains nothing that will reverse or prevent the signs of aging. Although the cream may contain some natural ingredients, there is nothing fantastic that can be said about any one of them. According to the testimonials found on third party websites, the only positive response was that the cream works efficiently as a moisturizer. The fact this product lacks any advanced anti aging ingredients along with the high price tag may keep the average consumer from investing in this product. Most high end facial creams contain the latest in advanced ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid, which has been shown to not only moisturize the skin but keep it soft and supple and it has been clinically proven to reduce lines and wrinkles. When searching for an anti-wrinkle skin care product, it is very important to look for advanced ingredients in order to achieve the desired results. Other essential ingredients are Real Collagen and Matrixyl 3000 neither of which are found in Crème Ancienne.
