Aww man, wish I had my book 'Bad Science' handy to quote something. Think I lent it out. Awesome book, a chapter on anti-wrinkle cream and beauty products was very reveiling. Basically, its all the same stuff but for sickening prices. AntiAge cream is just protiens that, when dries, contracts on your skin. It then washes off.
Btw, I wash my face right after I shave with soap, n then splash with cold water. Think it helps close your pours!
