Ever wonder if the stuff you buy at the drugstore is just as good as the stuff you can get from your doc? Fret not, it is! The British Journal of Dermatology, one of the world's leading dermatology journals, has just published an anti-aging clinical trial comparing a shelf brand to the leading prescription wrinkle regimen, 0.02 percent tretinoin. The results? The Olay Professional Pro-Xregimen clinically improved the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles just as well as the leading prescription brand over an eight-week span.

The study involved 196 women and showed that more than half of the subjects who used Olay Professional Pro-X Intensive Wrinkle Protocol had less visible wrinkles than the women who used the prescription regimen. The subjects who used Olay also reduced their visible wrinkle size by 17 percent, compared to the 11 percent that the women who used the prescription saw.

What does this mean? You can get the same results, if not better, for half the price and without the hassle of scheduling a doctor’s appointment. Need we say more?
