Overview
Crème Ancienne is sold as a high-end skin rejuvenation cream. The manufacturer claims that the product can erase wrinkles and help users maintain a youthful look for a long time. The Crème Ancienne is also said to have the ability to repair damaged skin and improve skin imperfections. The product is primarily designed to fight the effects of nature on skin. When applied regularly, Crème Ancienne can immediately hydrate the skin, improve skin tone, increase elasticity and erase all minor skin distortions. The key ingredient, beeswax, is said to coat the skin and provide long-term protection from the harsh environment. Exquisite oils extracted from the lemon peel and chamomile are said to sooth and rejuvenate the skin.
For the best results, daily application of the Crème Ancienne is required. The product has been heavily marketed all over North America and Europe. The crème is made entirely of natural ingredients and it is said to contain a unique fatty acid. It is said that this crème is hand made in a monastery and takes at least 2 days to prepare. The supremely rich formulation is touted by those selling it to be one of the best cosmetic anti-aging products on the market.

The Bottom Line
Crème Ancienne is a fairly expensive high end anti-aging product. A search of the ingredients reveals that it contains nothing that can reverse or erase wrinkles. While the product does contain all natural ingredients, there is nothing special about any one oil. A lot of claims are made about the product, but all of the testimonials only attest to its efficacy as a moisturizer. The product is prohibitively expensive; it costs nearly $250 for a 3 ounce jar. The lack of any advanced anti–aging ingredients and the cost are just two reasons why most people will shy away from this product. Crème Ancienne seems to be geared towards individuals who have money to spend and want a “designer labeled” product, but on paper it doesn’t look like this one will do much more than act as a high quality moisturizer.
