After our umpteenth debate in the office over our favorite bargain and splurge products, we decided to put our money where our mouths were (so to speak) and have real women compare drugstore and department store anti-aging products.
To keep it all scientific-like, we had them each take before and after photos and try the lines of skin care for the same amount of time. We also tailored the products to their specific skin needs so they would have the most potential for improvement. Check it out below, you'll never guess who the winners are:
