For Milkweed Cream is a marvelous corrective for the complexion . When you use it, you will understand my enthusi- asm—you will see how its delicate oils cleanse the skin exquisitely and how its special toning ingredients help the health of skin as no other cream possibly can. Let me show you how Milkweed Cream brings health and loveliness to your skin.

Then, scrutinize your own skin at the same six spots. Is there a tiny, thread-like wrinkle here? A blemish there? Take steps to banish them, now!
