Facelift surgery for facelift results
The only natural fade cream that has been scientifically proven to erase fine lines is Retin-A.
Crow’s feet are best addressed through Botox injections.
Face-lifting addresses sagging chin, loose muscles, and fat deposits in the neck.
With respect to skin care, a good moisturizer is acceptable along with sunscreens when outdoors.

Buyer beware for natural facelift without surgery
Your question reminds me of a patient I had several years ago. She was a hired spokesperson who did infomercials for a "natural" facelift product and had very nice "before and after" pictures demonstrating her results. The thing is, they were the results of my facelift, not the product. There just isn't anything nonsurgical that does what a facelift does, for a couple of reasons. Most important is that a facelift isn't just tightened skin (in fact when it is tightened too...

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!

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
There are zero products, including both medical grade and over-the-counter ones that can even remotely simulate the results of a well performed facelift.

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.
