Abstract

Look good, feel better

More products are touting multiple benefits, or uses, in one bottle in the midst of the recession.

Clinique's Youth Surge SPF 15 Age Decelerating Moisturizer, for example, claims multiple benefits: slowing the signs of aging, repairing and strengthening skin and providing sun protection.
