“They also stimulate the production of new blood vessels in the skin, which improves skin color,” the website says.
“Other benefits include fading age spots and softening rough patches on the skin.
“However, it takes three to six months of regular use before improvements in wrinkles are visible. The best results are achieved after six to twelve months.”
