49-year-old Diane Baranowski and 39-year-old Cheryl Page have tried all kinds of treatments to look their best.
Now there's a new product some are calling a drink from the "fountain of youth." It's called Borba. The claim? That it can soften fine lines, increase skin's elasticity and renew that natural youthful glow.
Creator Scott Vincent Borba says, "Borba is the first internal skincare regimen that provides you with full body results."
We asked Diane and Cheryl to try the 7-Day Age Defying powder packets. They'll need to drink two packets a day with water. Borba says the key ingredient is "acai."
It's a natural collagen-building fruit. "It keeps on breaking down the collagen levels inside your skin and it pushes up the benefits into the epidermis, which is the top layer of your skin, so it smoothes your skin from the inside out."
But Dermatologist Thomas Rohrer questions whether a drink can really do that.
He says, "What you see are a bunch of antioxidants. Now in the laboratory we know that antioxidants are good, whether that translates when you actually drink it, is another story. "
Borba says, "Most people will start seeing somewhat of a visible difference within those three to seven days of use."
So we checked back with Diane and Cheryl one week later.
Cheryl says, "I don't really think it did anything."
Diane says, "Same as it was seven days ago."
Borba says, " Not everybody's system is the same. Everyone has a different chemical makeup. If you're taking it in seven days you can't expect a 30 percent reduction of fine lines and wrinkles by drinking it twice per day for seven days. "What you will see is a tightened and toned body and an all over glow."
This product has not been evaluated by the FDA
The seven-day treatment costs $28.
The 28-day treatment costs $100.
