If the recent Lovelyish post in which the author confessed she hated “looking like I’m in my 20s” is any indication, most women are consumed with the desire to either turn back the clock, or stop it dead in it’s tracks–at least where our appearance is concerned. The Daily Mail reports that Inneov Fermete, a pill that is currently available in Europe and South America and will soon be launched in the UK, just may do that.
We’re all accustomed to slathering on creams filled with fancy, expensive ingredients, but the makers of Inneov Fermete maintain that the key to younger looking skin is ingesting the nutrients needed for younger skin on a daily basis. Their test indicated that women who took the pill, which is made from a tomato compound and packed with antioxidants, had 8.7 more skin elasticity than the placebo group.
Here’s the bad news: the price will come to about 25 pounds every ten days. That is about the equivalent of a month’s supply of birth control, if you are fortunate enough to have that covered by a insurance provider.
Do you think once you reach a certain age, would you shell out about $120 USD a month to look nine percent younger? What age would that be? How much would you be willing to pay for a noticeable change? Do you use anti-aging products already, and if so, at what age did you start?

“Do you think once you reach a certain age, would you shell out about $120 USD a month to look nine percent younger?”
No, I wouldn’t. For $1440/year that could easily be spent on vacation instead, I’d rather spend my time exercising, staying out of the sun, religiously applying SPF, drinking green and white tea with lemon (which helps the body better absorb the tea), and applying drugstore anti-aging serums.
I really think it’s important to start now on the anti-aging process so that later on you won’t be so tempted to splurge on products such as that above.

Unless that pill also makes me immortal I wouldn’t do it. On my death bed I sure as hell won’t be thinking, ” At least I’ll look 9% younger in my casket.”
and no I don’t and will never use anti-aging products. I’m aging regardless. My skin might as well go with the process.

Why not just eat a ton of tomatoes…and other fruits and veggies instead? I mean, there’s alot of foods which have been attributed to slow down the skin’s natural degenerative process which’ve been found due to some cultures looking younger for longer (now, whether they actually live longer depends on the culture). xD

Dude please. I’ll just grow old and fat and happy… and a little richer from not buying the pills.

LOL. 1440 a year. i can do so much with that. besides i couldn’t careless about looking older [at least thats what i say now since i'm still young]

@juliamegan@xanga - that was advice in itself, thanks!

Why, yes, yes I would shell out that much money to look younger if I had it readily at my disposal. I’m already planning on botox the second I feel like other people can see my age lines.

Why do I need to look young? That is the question. If it’s competition, then 9% isn’t going to do that much, just dye your hair blonde, wear lots of red and put on the push up bra or call the younger girls whores. If you want to look younger, mix sand with soap, rub your face, put on some mud then dump a bunch of milk into the tub with you.
I tried to use diet products once, and I’ll never do anything that says it’s scientifically backed again. The substance built up into a mud-like plaster in my body and then poisoned me or tried to. I couldn’t do anything about it but get it out with laxatives and constant vomitting. I’ll never forgot that day.

nah. i’m going to be an awesome wrinkly old lady who does stuff that eventually ends up on MLIA.
@snapeful@xanga - i thought of those snocap candies (nonpareils). :]

We have the brain power to turn back the clock if we want to.
Also leading a stress/drug free life with lots of sleep, a healthy diet, and a smile on your face keeps you looking visibly younger and feeling that way too.

Why not just eat the tomatoes? Doesn’t seem to make sense to me.
