You beauty! Annabel Rivkin talks wrinkles

Wrinkles are one thing. You can take the view that they give you character. Or you can get Botox. But when your skin texture starts to go, when the actual quality of your pelt turns peculiar, then that's a whole other thing. Papery dryness, redness, sagging, gaping pores - these horrors creep up on you until one day you look in the mirror and the beauty of youth seems to be gone. Over.

That's how it feels, but come on now. Pull yourself together and go shopping because Dr Perricone has launched a breakthrough product catchily named Acyl-Glutathione. You may be aware that antioxidants are the plucky little so-and-sos that battle free-radical (terrorist elements in the atmosphere) damage. Glutathione is the grand fromage of antioxidants but - and here's the rub - it is only abundant in young cells. The idea is that this cream delivers a highly effective Glutathione derivative that will prevent accelerated ageing, restoring cushiony lusciousness to cheeks, banishing creases, seeing off sagging, reinstating radiance and tightening pores.

While the cream doesn't feel particularly soothing, within a week I felt happier leaving the house without tinted moisturiser. I was knocking back Dr Perricone's Omega 3 supplements at the same time just to back things up as - apart from helping with the immune system and muscle mass - it tackles inflammation, one of the greatest villains of the ageing process. Past imperfect? Perhaps. Future perfect? Absolutely.
