Have you ever heard about the Cinderella Effect face lotions and creams?

Why are they so special and where did they get that fairytale name from?

The name comes from the fact that those lotions have an immediate effect that can turn an average Jane to a glowing Cinderella in no time!
They work wonders and although they are not recommended for daily use, they are perfect treats for special nights.

Most of the Cinderella effect creams have high percentages of lifting substances that instantly give your face a lifted effect that will make you look younger and fresher. They are perfect for a special night out, an important party or a hot date.

The active principals of such lotions are mostly derivatives of the famous DMAE; these substances cause a tenser and instant lift effect in your face’s muscles that will you make your skin look younger and less wrinkled.
Even if you don’t have many lines and wrinkles yet, there are some days that we could use an extra boost and those creams offer you the possibility to look your best with a simple gesture.

The DMAE is the next nig thing in cosmetics and dermatology and is being widely used in several lotions for the face and the body. It offers not only an instant fix but it also feeds the skin and has great log-term advantages.

One of he most known Cinderella effect creams are the ones used for the under eye area; they create a temporary film under your eye that covers the puffiness, the wrinkles and the dark circles; that alone can actually make a big difference in the way you look.

Cinderella effect creams are the science at its best, working in our favour. The creams are not very cheap but the results are truly amazing.

The Merz Scales, the first standardized, comprehensive rating system to measure the skin’s aging process, were presented at THE Aesthetic Show in Las Vegas. Developed by a leading team of multidisciplinary experts to “establish a universal language of aging,” The Merz Scales address the unmet need for an educational tool to facilitate communication between physicians and patients. While The Scales do not diagnose or treat any particular conditions, they serve as a platform to discuss the aging process.

“In recognizing the need for a standardized, validated, consistent method to measuring the skin aging process, Merz set forth to revolutionize the aesthetic industry with the creation of The Merz Scales,” said Mikael Svensson, vice president of medical and aesthetic dermatology at Merz. “The Merz Scales exemplify our commitment to the science of aesthetic medicine.”

The Merz Scales, including A Validated Brow Positioning Grading Scale; A Validated Grading Scale for Forehead Lines; A Validated Lip Fullness Grading Scale; A Validated Grading Scale for Marionette Lines; A Validated Hand Grading Scale; and, A Validated Grading Scale for Crow’s Feet were published in a special issue of Dermatologic Surgery in November 2008.
