The inheritance of loss

The fountain of youth is something that many yearn for. Unfortunately even a pretentious film like The Fountain will tell you that such a well of wishes is simply not of this earth. Bones will become brittle, memories will fade and hearts will be broken.

Fortunately you can make time stop in one place — at least for a little bit — with Murad’s miraculous Intensive Wrinkle Reducer. This is not the first time I will extol this delicious, time-stopping potion; my friends and I have all but swallowed this Murad wonder balm.

It instantly makes skin more pliable upon application and after continued use you will notice a firmer and more luminous complexion. It is clinically proven to diminish fine lines and wrinkles by 45 percent within eight weeks. Thank the GlycoNutrient Complex, which has been clinically proven to regenerate the skin’s appearance by activating epidermal proliferation and boosting collagen and hyaluronic acid production. The results are immediate and long-term, just like true love.

An unexpected agent in this Murad’s Intensive Wrinkle Reducer formula is cinnamon extract — once just a treat for the belly, it also has the healing powers of clarifying skin and making it less oily. It regulates five things that contribute to skin imperfections: bacteria proliferation on the skin surface; lipase, which causes oil to become irritating; androgens, which contribute to breakouts and facial hair growth; elastase, which attacks collagen and elastin; and free radicals that cause cellular oxidation. It also helps stimulate cells.

Used on a clean face morning and evening, the results will jar you. I myself am a captive fan. Get your own potion: the Murad Intensive Wrinkle Reducer is available for P6,900 at the Murad Medi-Spa on the fifth level of Rustan’s Makati, and at all Rustan’s Essenses branches.
