Cosmetic wonder creams - science fiction or science fact?

I'm a 23-year old female, writes Ify Anyaegbunam.  A recent test using a machine called a Multi Dermascope tells me that I have the skin elasticity of a 20-year-old.  So why is it that I am currently searching for an affordable anti-wrinkle cream?  Do I really believe I can find the secret to eternal youth for under £7?

According to psychologists it is because looking old can cause serious mental distress. Where a wrinkle or two on a man adds character, on a woman they represent a slippery slope to old age.  It seems many women in the UK agree.  According to a Boots survey, 1 in 3 women over the age of 30 now uses an anti-ageing product.  A fact that the likes of L'Oreal, Boots and other cosmetics giants have used to create a multi-billion pound industry.
