Rare melon wrinkle treatment

The truth is that the FDA does not investigate cosmetic claims, only those that make "drug" claims, which means that the product alters the normal structure and function of living tissue.  Most commercials skirt these claims with carefully worded promises.  I cannot directly answer your question about  melon effectiveness, and I have seen the commercials, which are very carefully worded.  Caveat Emptor - buyer beware.

Too true. No cosmetic product penetrates the skin enough to alter the deeper layers that form wrinkles. The skin may look and appear more moisturized but you can get that from drinking plenty of water and hydrating your skin with a drug store cream or moisturizer. Unfortunately, the only things that do work are invasive procedures such as peels,lasers, Botox, fillers and lifts.
