Can Preparation H Reverse Wrinkles?

I never would have believed it! NEVER!!!

For the past 10 years (I am 46) I have had some rather serious itchy skin problems that there just don't seem to be any answers for. (I've tried everything, prescription & OTC.) Well yesterday (Dec 7th) my friend asked me what I first thought to be a very silly question. She said "Have you ever tried preparationH for the itching?"

I obvioulsy said NO thinking she was teasing me. Well, after giggling over this idea for several minutes, I decided, why not. I mean I've tried everything else. So we headed over to the "PH" aisle and chose a tube of the PH Cooling Gel (only because it had free wipe samples with it). Anyway, as we were still giggling over the possibility that this product might help my situation, she told me that models use this stuff for puffy eyes and wrinkles. Then my giggles turned to all out laughter. But after a few minutes of assurances from her that she really was telling the truth, I made my purchase and headed home. I smeared this stuff all over my itchy irritated feet and leg (just my left leg, 1 leg, 2 feet, go figure, lol) and I wait.... Nothing happens.

I was still itching and was out 6 bucks to boot... Oh well, I said, it's not the first time I've blown 6 dollars on a new product, but then I remembered what she said about the models, and even though I was a little embarassed by what I was about to do and feeling like maybe someone was watching me and laughing their butt off, I figured I was already in a deep hole so it couldn't hurt to try it. I dabbed just a little on my top lip (I'm an ex - 4 pack a day smoker and although I've quit, I have some really deep crevices, a.k.a. wrinkles across my top lip).

So, there I was, waiting for whoever it was that might have been watching me to jump out and click a camera or something, but no one was there. It was just me, my wrinkles and this tube of preparation H, so with a little more confidence I rubbed a dime's worth of this stuff across my upper lip.

Within just a few minutes I saw what nobody reading this is going to believe. I saw several years drop off my face... Those years were immediately replaced with a stupid little grin as I looked in the mirror and realized that my deepest crevice has turned into a shallow line. I grabbed that tube and started smearing it around my eyes, my entire mouth and forehead. By then I didn't care who might be watching, because I knew I was the only one laughing.

Today (Dec 8) I started looking online to see if anyone else had had a similar experience; that's when I found this site. I read the original answer about the shark oil.

I don't know anything about shark oil, nor do I know what makes PH work on hemorrhoids and don't care. I am stating, emphatically, to whoever reads these kinds of posts, that in just one application the difference was noticable to me and to my husband. So, as long as it works, I'M USING IT!

Laughing about it, but using it just the same....

Thanks for letting me share a slightly embarassing, but very exciting discovery!

Preparation H with Bio Dyne works. But you can only purchase it in Canada.

I was sleeping, suddenly I was awakened by a severe pain on the left side of my left leg. Rushed into the bathroom in search of ben-gay. I searched and searched--no ben-gay. I had foot cream, anti-biotic ointment, lotion, preparation H. I was desparate for relief, so I applied the preparation H to my painful leg. Within minutes relief came. I could again return to a restful night's sleep.The pain has not returned. Told a friend who suffered from arthritis, she had the same results. I am 63 years old, my friend is 57.

Yes, it really does work. But you have to buy the formula with LYCD (Live Yeast Cell Derivative) in it which is no longer available in the US. Years ago they took out this key ingrediant that helps with fine lines and wrinkles. I have been using it for about a week and already notice a difference in the fine lines under my eyes. Look for the original formuala online (try only-in-Canada.com)

My son is using Prep H for his waist..to shrink fat...can you send some info on how that is useless?????? I am afraid he will get ill also...

In reference to Barbara, I have heard of Prep H being used on the abs. It is mostly used by body builders before a show, and they rub it on their stomachs and then usually use saran wrap over it. It doesn't shrink fat, but it is supposed to extract the excess water giving slight, temporary changes. I have never heard anything bad about it, and it has definitely been used for that reason for a long time.

I would also have to say that it probably isn't helping your son lose weight there. If you look up Prep H and body builders on google, you can see topics from body builders saying you need to work out to get that smaller stomach, the Prep H just helps them have a quick fix enhancement on their already enhanced bodies.

Good luck! I really do suggest you check out some body builder forums and ask them what they think!

I tried Preparation H today, and it worked! I only had 3 hrs sleep and my eyes were puffy (below the eyes) and my neck looked wrinkly... a real mess. After applying Preparation H for 20 minutes... I was stunned. My skin felt soft and the wrinkles were almost gone.... now 14hrs later it still looks great. I am now throwing out all the 20.00 plus wrinkle removers.....Give it a try!!!!

I have started using the Big H, but I have a concern. Maybe someone can help me with this one. If the ointment leeches(sic)? into the eyes, is it harmful? And, if you ingest a small amount after applying it around the mouth, is it harmful? I read that it could be cancer-causing with over use.

Dear Concerned Readers;

I would like tosay, " we live in a world of appearances and I was observant of this years ago. When I was 27, I asked a friend who was 64, "what do you use on your skin because you look great?" She replied, PREP H and and virgin Olive Oil and no facial soap for the face. I laughed. But I wondered and I tried it. That was 14 years ago.Today, I am 40 1/2 and I look about 26 to 27 years old. The other secret is Apple Cider Vinegar and the powerful usage of Apple Cider Vinegar. I tried everything for my teen/adult acne, but Apple Cider Vinegar and water, with a washcloth, astringent Peroxide and PREP H

Age is Figment of the imagination, My figment is to Prep H...It WORKS!!!

I've been reading all the positive effects of PH and wrinkles. My question is, does the regular PH that is purchase over the counter work, or does it have to contain LYCD in it?

I was wondering if this works for everyone or is it like most other creams it only works for some.I have been using strivectin and I think it does work some but it is really slow and I am looking for something to speed up the removal or reduction of crows feet.

Can you use the ointment or does it have to be the cream?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this stuff - I seriously saw results soon after I started using it!
mme - the ointment works just as well but it's not as nice for the face because it's an ointment and doesn't blend in as well (I use it at night myself). Also the ointment smells mediciny -- but the cream smells fishy so - pick your stink.

where would i order this PREP-H plese let me know i have really deep wrinkles ---

i started to use udder guard that is use for cows teats to help the teats be soft. would it harm me to use it on my face?

Are the results of Prep. H permanent or short-lived? Must it be used daily or once wrinkles are gone, do they stay gone for more than a day?? Also, is there any long-term side effect of using it? For example, could your skin suddenly overcompensate for whatever Prep H is doing and then you'd find yourself with wrinkles-galore or worse?

I visited my dermatologist about 6 months ago to get moles / freckles checked, and also to ask her about treatments for eye puffiness/circles.

She sold me a tiny vial ($75!) of an eye balm she said might help a little bit.

The stuff smelled nice and was a decent moisturizer, I suppose. But it didn't do anything for the puffiness or circles- I almost wondered whether it was making it worse.

I had read several glowing endorsements of Canadian Prep-H with Biodyne and figured, "What the heck? It's cheap. I'll just order it online from a Canadian pharmacy." And so I did. (I would list URL here but that might make some people question my motives... So I'll skip that.)

It arrived in a week. I started using it. A wee bit in the morning- when eyes were the puffiest. Occasionally some at bedtime.

Add me to the list of enthusiastic endorsers of this as a treatment for puffy eyes. It works far, far better than the $75 stuff. It doesn't smell so great-but that fades after application. I'm very pleased with the results and plan to keep using it. I'd recommend it to anyone dealing with puffy eyes.

Where can I find preperation H in UAE (United Arab Emirates)

Just got PH all over my face... I'm really hoping you all are telling the truth.
The ingredients in my PH tube are:
mineral oil, petrolatum, phenylephrine and shark liver oil. My face is really shinny...I don't think my skin will absorb all the oil and the thickness. I really want my pores to shrink... I'll let you know. :)

I'm 58 yrs old and a retired hairdresser. I have used prep h since I was 15. My hands look like a 20yr old girls hands, no wrinkles and I have always told all my friends about it (they also laugh) ...but I know it works for me. Also I do order mine from Canada.

Hi everyone! I have heard a lot of wonderful comments on how well preparation h works. I would love someone to tell me if just regular preparation in the US works?? I have been melting down the suppositories because they do contain shark liver oil.. your comments on this would be greatly appreciated..

I am very interested in all this information about preparation H. Question: does it have to have the shark oil in it or not does it still work with out it? I have to stretch my money so this sounds like a dream. I so want to try it but would love to know with or without does it still work? Waiting to hear any input would be great! thank you! ;-)

PEOPLE'S PHARMACY RESPONSE: WE HAVE NOT HEARD THAT THE CURRENT FORMULATION OF PREPARATION H CAN ALLEVIATE WRINKLES.

I have been using the Canadian version for about 4 days now. It does seem to smooth out my face and does reduce the baggage under my eyes after a night of drinking.

Ok- I purchased Prep H and my face does feel smoother after one application. My questions are: Must it be used daily or once wrinkles are gone, do they stay gone for more than a day?? Also, is there any long-term side effect of using it? For example, could your skin suddenly overcompensate for whatever Prep H is doing and then you'd find yourself with wrinkles-galore or worse?

thank you

Everyone must remember, the Preparation H that works for wrinkles and bags under the eyes etc. is the one from Canada. You can order it on line. I ordered mine on line; it took about a week for it to arrive. I just put some on about 10 minutes ago.

Preparation H has been used for years for wrinkles and puffy eyes. For some reason the U.S. changed the formula. I purchased a tube about a month ago in the store. I put it under my eyes, not realizing that the formula had change. It burned my skin. I had to wash it off immediately. Then I did research on the computer and found out that the original formula is only sold in Canada. It was easy to order it on line through one of the Canada Pharmacies websites.

Is there a web site I can go and buy this and how much is this?Is it safe to use and is it called preparation h? How long do you leave this on and then wash it off? Can you put it all over your face? Is it the kind we can buy over the counter here does it work too? Sorry, so many questions, but this is so amazing.

I have been using the Canadian Preparation H CREAM with Bio-Dyne on my face and neck, morning and night, for about a year now. I wash with an inexpensive moisturizing cleansing bar, then put on the Prep H. That's it! No masks, no scrubs, nothing else. I have dry skin. I am 49 years old. I have good skin and good genes to begin with, but everyone thinks I look young. Some people have thought I was my son's wife. I'm two years older than my husband, but I don't look it.

He won't put the stuff on his face, he wants me to buy him the expensive stuff, but it's not working for him. You'd think he'd get it. I have very dry eyes and have never had a problem with the Prep H burning or stinging my eyes and I do apply it around my eyes, not IN my eyes, of course, but gently around my eye area. I also have sensitive skin and have never had a problem.

I do get monthly blemishes. The cream doesn't stop those, but they are not bad. I love mineral make-up to cover those up! I think, after reading someone's post above, that I'm going to start using it on my hands! I never really thought of that. It doesn't smell yummy, but you only smell it for a few minutes. I always go and kiss my boys good-night with it on my face and they never say, "Mom, you stink!"
Here are the ingredients: Shark Liver Oil 3.0%, Yeast as a live cell derivative (Bio-Dyne:Skin Respiratory Factor)1.0%

Try it, you might like it! 50g will cost you between $24.15 - $27.99, including shipping, from the checking around that I have done.
I bought two 50g tubes a year ago, and I'm just coming to the end of the tubes and getting ready to reorder. That's how I stumbled upon these posts. I bet I could still get another month or more out of those tubes. You only need a tiny bit. I use a pea sized blob on my face and neck and often have to blot off extra.

I hope my post was helpful for someone.
We can't keep these "secrets" to ourselves!

I have Preparation H in front of me this very moment and it still contains Shark Oil. Good try though! and it does help with wrinkles, my father is about 70 years old now and is very wrinkle-less and had weighed 300 lbs. at one time, but used this product on his face and he is the one who told me about it because I have bags underneath my eyes from sleepless nights and I am using it. My husband told me it has been helping, so there.

I was wondering if anyone knows if it helps with that baby fat...on the belly??? Stretch marks??? I bought some yesterday in Canada and thought it might help if I try it... I am thin but carry excess skin on my belly from having two children.

I was looking for the Canadian Prep H on eBay & found that there are two kinds of the cream now. One shows the regular cream in a tube & the other is a jar & is labeled as skincare. The skincare kind says that it doesn't have the odor.

Has anyone tried the new Canadian skincare kind of Prep H? Does it work as well?
Thanks!

Whoops! I just realized that the other item in the jar that was labeled Prep H on the item name wasn't the true stuff. I had to go down the page to read the fine print where it said it was not affiliated with the company that makes Prep H.... Don't be fooled by this seller. I'm gonna report them to eBay.

I ordered & got the real Prep H from Canada a few days ago. I could see a marked difference within just about 20 minutes! It also has a nice feel on the skin. It isn't such a big difference that people are gonna think I had a face lift, but I can sure see it myself. It helps the undereye puffies & seems to smooth out the cheek wrinkles that I have from smoking. Of course, the deep wrinkles weren't affected much, but this is more than I expected. I will definitely continue using it. I have yet to try putting foundation over it, but it seems like it will glide on easily if I let it soak in for awhile first.

Thanks everyone!!!
