Nothing replaces a facelift
If you need a facelift, there is no alternative. If you just have fine lines around your eyes, you may benefit from Botox Cosmetic for the crow's feet. If you have moderate nasolabial folds, you may benefit from fillers. However, if you have any loose or drooping skin, then facelift is really your only alternative. Good luck.

Miracle creams: Don't count on it!
There are few if any products that produce significant and sustained resutls. Probably the only "miracle" cream to date that has true anti-aging and rejuvenative benefits is Retin-A

Skin creams won't give you a facelift
The over-the-counter skin cream remedies are a $16 billion industry a year. There will always be the next best skin cream. Nothing, yet, can replace a well-done facelift.

No "natural" facelift
Many of these products produce some "tightening" by increasing the water in the skin. This movement of water is temporary and at best produces mild results. You will be wasting your money.
Years ago, I was in Italy with my parents, and my mother bought a cream that would shrink her fat. My father, a surgeon, rolled his eyes, and told her the same thing all of us have stated in our answers.

No such thing as a "natural" facelift other than well done surgery

Natural Facelifts Don't Work, Facelifts Do.
Thank you for your important question. The problem is not with your skin but due to the fact that natural remedies just cannot lift or significantly tighten your skin.
It is a sad fact that millions are spent on false promises by skin care products especially on the internet.
The same is true for non-surgical skin tightening lasers, ultrasound and other devices.
Do not believe the dishonest photos that you see.

A Natural Facelift
Topical creams as part of a home skin care regimen are an important part of improving and maintaining aged skin. Medical grade products such as glycolic acids, retin-A, antioxidants, sunscreens, etc., can help with brown spots, finer lines and wrinkles, textural changes, and skin color. Some experts argue that there is some though subtle tightening effects from these medications. Unfortunately, there is no topical product available that gives you the result of a well...

Natural Facelift Options
There are no true natural facelift options. Most of them are late night 30-60 second infomercials that prey on individuals who desire “beauty in a bottle”. None of that works. There are no non-natural facelift options at this time.

Natural Facelift Products: False Advertising
Dr. Rand has described it very succinctly. If you buy these products with the hopes of simulating a Facelift result, you will be wasting your money. Cosmetic creams are not regulated by the FDA and their advertising is not subject to scrutiny.

Natural face lift
NO SUCH THING........SAVE YOUR MONEY. The best you can ever do with the simple application of products to your skin is to get the right degree of moisture and keep it clean. You can not lift anything, you cannot tighten anything ( astrigents will make you feel tighter but only by drawing moisture out of your skin...not a good thing to do ) by the application of anything to your skin. You can camouflage problems with foundation and make-up....and for some people this may be...
