No...I see it more as a ‘truth in advertising’ issue. Oil of Olay was claiming that their product does something it doesn’t do. Short of a a prescription grade Retinoid, nothing sold over the counter is going to eradicate wrinkles. Even the rx will just plump/soften them.

I agree. I'm really skeptical of the entire cosmetics industry in the first place because they're basically conditioning women to believe that they cannot be beautiful without the 'holy creams', that beauty can only be obtained by buying their products. And this is absolutely not true.

If Twiggy really looks like that, fair dues. But airbrushing her face and then using that 'young looking' face to sell the cream is dishonest in my opinion.
