Endocil redefine old age…
Woman's Weekly / 20th March 1965
It’s interesting that 45 years ago, 30 was considered the age from which you got old. Nowadays, it’s the age at which many middle-class women start families, and I certainly don’t consider myself old in my early thirties. However, even though 30 isn’t really considered old any more, it hasn’t stopped beauty companies targeting younger women, under the banner of ‘health’. I’m not sure an unhealthy lifestyle will be fixed by a cosmetic product, but I’m running a small website for no money, not CEO of a global company: so what do I know?

Interesting; a quick Google suggests that it’s not available in the UK any more. It’s not that unusual for manufacturers to withdraw products from a market if they’re not getting enough sales revenue (I mourn the loss of Sun Lolly in the UK, for example), but if you’re looking for recommendations on alternatives, Sali Hughes in the Guardian is a good beauty journalist: http://www.theguardian.com/fashion/series/sali-hughes-beauty

My mother used endocil beauty cream for years. I also became addicted to the cream. I read that the re-launched endocil is not the same. Why?
