The wrinkle creams CR tested ranged in price from $38 to $335. The most-costly product tested, La Prairie Cellular ($335 for an ounce of day cream and 1.7 ounces of night cream), was among the least effective. Lancome Paris Renergie, $176, performed nearly as well. One of the less-costly products tested, Olay Regenerist sells for about $19 apiece for the “enhancing lotion,” “perfecting cream,” and “regenerating serum” combination recommended by the company. Olay Regenerist, which is available in drugstores, was the top performer by a small margin. Further, CR’s tests found no relationship between the types of active ingredients in the products and their overall performance. The luxury-priced skin-care offerings didn’t work any better than the drugstore brands in CR’s independent, unbiased tests. ![]() YONKERS, NY - Consumer Reports’ (CR) first test of wrinkle creams finds that on average these products made little difference in the skin’s appearance and there’s no correlation between price and effectiveness.
