Five Effective Skin Creams in a Jar

Recently, a friend of mine returned home for the holidays having been in Florida for 6 weeks. When I picked her up, I immediately noticed how smooth and bright her skin looked. Her face glowed. Naturally I asked, “What are you using on your skin?”

My friend is using eb5 Facial Cream. This product has greatly improved her mature skin. What is eb5 Facial Cream?

eb5 is a wrinkle cream, throat cream, firming cream, 24-hour moisturizer and make-up base all in one simple to use jar! These five creams in one are perfect for women of all ages and skin types who have facial lines, crow’s feet and feather lips. eb5 Facial Cream is unique because of its non-greasy “synergistic” base, which helps vitamins E, A, D and B5 penetrate the skin, leaving the face and neck smooth, soft and younger looking!

The eb5 Story

The product was developed by pharmacist/chemist Robert Heldfond. In the 1950’s Heldfond began researching ways to create an ointment base that was greaseless and allowed the skin to efficiently absorb the medicinal ingredients. He was one of the first pharmacists to experiment with vitamins E and B5 (which is commonly known as panthenol, a humectant) with successful results. After supplying large quantities of his new ointment to the University of Oregon Medical Center, nurses started coming into Heldfond’s drugstore asking for large amounts of the ointment base. The nurses claimed that his ointment cleared up their hands that were often rough, and dried from repeated washings. Many had begun using this base on their faces with amazing results!

Improving upon the original formula, adding vitamins A and D and other natural ingredients, eb5 Facial Cream was born, and for years he sold it out of his drugstore. Today, eb5 Facial Cream can be found in quality department stores across the United States, along with a diverse selection of supporting products, including the ever popular Cleansing and Toning Formulas.
