No-Effort Wrinkle RX

0116wrinkles At this refresh-and-renew moment of the year, people look in the mirror and they vow to change. Then they call me up and say, "Okay. How do I get rid of wrinkles?" When I tell them to go to a dermatologist and get a prescription for some form of Retin-A (I myself am an aficionada of the nuclear-strength Tazorac), most sigh dramatically: "But I'm not going to go to a dermatologist." While I don't understand—if you want money, do you refuse to go to the bank?—I do have a backup plan in place.

Help Me from Philosophy, is the closest nonprescription thing to Retin-A. It's as nuclear-strength as over-the-counter gets. And—because I attribute much of the disinclination toward dermatologists to plain laziness—the fact that you can click on Amazon or Sephora and have it several days later at your door is no small thing.
