Every now and then, beauty gurus herald the discovery of some new miracle ingredient or miracle cream guaranteed to restore your youthful looks.

There was La Mer, the miracle cream invented by a aerospace physicist Dr. Max Huber who sought to cure his own chemical burns after a terrible accident (a lab explosion) left him scarred. It took him 12 years and 6,000 experiments to come up with a formula that healed his skin. That formula is what La Mer is based on. Magazine editors rave about this sea kelp based cream. Stars, whose faces are their fortunes panic when they run out of the purportedly miraculous moisturizer. Not to be outdone, the Japanese came up with Pitera. A Japanese scientist visited a brewery and to his astonishment, the elderly workers there are youthful hands. Lined faces and young hands. What made the skin of their hands so young? It had to be something to do with the brew they worked on. They worked with the fermentation of sake and there was something in that fermenting brew that caused their skin to be so youthful. Years of research led to the isolation of a yeast extract they call pitera, the active ingredient in SK-II products. From sake to your face. That is basically what pitera is about. Do these work?

Lots of Asian celebs endorse SK-II, claiming that to be their beauty secret. If it works for them, it would work for the average woman right?

There is some truth in these miracle creams and products. No, you can't turn back the hands of time but you can preserve what you have, keep your skin hydrated and balanced. That in itself makes quite a difference.
