Is it worth the price and are the claims true? Thanks I love your site and finally have the nerve to ask my own question.

Claims:
To broadly summarize the claims, they say this product will...
"nourishes while also working hard to help diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and crows feet"
Almost any product will do this.
It's "
Packed full with free radical fighting anti-oxidants"
Read this post about how hard it is to prove benefits of antioxidants in skin care:
How Can I Tell If I’m Using Enough Antioxidants?
It contains "
Cassia Alata Leaf Extract
– also known as candle tree, it protects against photo aging."
Only proven sunscreens can protect against photo-aging. I wouldn't trust an extract at some unknown level.
At $49 for a tiny jar I say this product is not worth it unless the company can provide test data comparing to other cheaper products.
