A member asked:

Do they anti aging skins just prevent aging signs while you're applying them or do they last longer?

Specializes in Facial Plastic Surgery

Depends!: Hi! anit-aging skin care products and treatments vary greatly in potency and effectiveness. Anything purchased over-the-counter (without a prescription) will only work while applied. For a product or treatment to provide a more dramatic change, visit a dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon. Good luck!
