- Hi, I'm Parris, back with my one week follow-up
on my men's wrinkle cream face-off.
- [Announcer] Epic Review Guys.
- It's the L'Oreal Men Expert Vita Lift versus
Neutrogena Men Age Fighter.
Both of these go for between $10 and $15.
You can find out more about them at the link,
down below this video.
I have been applying them twice a day,
right after my shower in the morning and right before
going to bed at night.
I've noticed some changes and I'm curious if you do too.
It was actually the second day of using these products
that I noticed something.
I was shaving with my Philips OneBlade,
which has this flat surface that just cuts around the edges.
When I got to the skin, a little bit closer to the eye,
it felt different.
It just sort of stuck there.
I wouldn't say that the flesh around the eyes
was plump exactly, but the texture had somehow changed
a little bit.
And I could feel it as well.
It felt, I guess smoother,
but something different than that.
So of course, I ran over to a mirror and took a look
and then I thought, hey, maybe the wrinkles are already
a little bit less noticeable.
Then I read the comment on that first video that I did
a week ago saying that the way this works,
is it really does just make the wrinkles less noticeable
and it does it by plumping up your face.
Now, it didn't feel tight and that was my concern,
is that it was going to stretch the skin to get rid
of the wrinkles somehow and make it tight,
but it didn't feel like that at all.
It just felt fuller around the eyes
and if it's doing that,
it may be sort of flattening out the wrinkle
as my face expands, something like that.
Let me show you up close and you can give me your opinion.
I got out of the shower a little bit ago.
I have not applied the cream yet today,
so this is what we're looking at
without me scrunching my face or squinting.
Now when I scrunch,
obviously I still have the wrinkles,
but are they as deep?
What do you think?
I'm going to put up in the corner here a poll.
If you would tell me whether you can see
any noticeable difference in the wrinkles,
on the sides of my eyes,
with one week of wrinkle cream usage.
To help with that,
here's a screen shot from last week's video.
And then the same scene from this week's video.
If you'd answer that poll question now please.
I'll do another video in a week.
It's supposed to take between two weeks and a month
before I see a noticeable difference.
One other thing I can mention at this point
after using it twice a day for a week,
that the Neutrogena cream which does have the sunscreen
built into it,
it stays on my face
in a noticeable white cream
for a lot longer than the L'Oreal does.
The L'Oreal within two minutes, other than maybe
just a little bit of shininess,
I have no sign I've put this on.
Whereas this, for five minutes,
sometimes 10 minutes afterwards,
I still have that suntan lotion, white creamy look
around my eye and sometimes I actually have to go back
and clean the excess off because it doesn't seem
like it's going to saok in.
So I like the Neutrogena for the fact
that it has the sunscreen built in,
and it is providing that sun defense now,
at least around this eye.
But the down side is, it's not just apply it and forget it.
You better go and double check it again a few minutes later
and make sure you don't have white streaks on your face
before you go out.
I've seen no down sides or negative effects
from using these creams but in researching it some more,
I have found that now Retinol,
which is the active ingredient in both of these,
and I think is actually what's having the effect,
that's now sort of on the outs.
Some people are saying long term Retinol use on your skin
is not a good thing.
So the latest in wrinkle creams are the Retinol free cream,
so wouldn't you know it.
I just found something that works for me
and it's out of date already.
Thanks for your input in answering that poll.
I'll be really curious to see what everyone
out there thinks.
I did ask around the family a day or two ago,
and the answer everyone gave me,
now I don't know what they really think,
but what they told me was,
"well, I didn't really pay that much attention
"to your face, before."
So, always nice to know.

and one month follow-up on this wrinkle cream face-off
