Does Ellen Really Use Bellalabs and LaCreme? And Does Dr. Oz Recommend it?

You’ve probably seen the before and after picture of Ellen Degeneres, and the claims that her age defying results came from using both of these creams, but it’s nothing but misleading advertising.
They also report it in a manner like it’s a huge secret since she’s still under contract with Cover Girl “Shhhh don’t tell Covergirl.”
They even link to a youtube video where Ellen jokes about starting to use eye cream and how it runs down her cheeks and gets in her eyes, but no where in the video does she say that she’s using Bellalabs or LaCreme.

She’s merely joking about being a klutz when it comes to applying eye cream in general. It’s just a ploy to keep you on the page and make it “appear” that it’s linked to the story.
There are countless variations of these ads on multiple different websites that have completely different looks, but they all lead to the same free trial ads to Bellalabs and LaCreme.
There’s also a multitude of before and after pictures of various women with seemingly fake quotes alluding to these creams being “Dr. Oz recommended” when in fact they are not. Under a picture of Ellen, a caption reads “Dr. Oz calls it – the miracle anti-aging breakthrough – because it works!”
Let me tell you – Dr. Oz is possibly the MOST plagiarized person on the internet! He does not have a skin care line, so if you see an ad that says “Dr. Oz recommends this cream” – run quickly.

A Rundown of Bellalabs and LaCreme – Do They Even Work?

What these ads all seem to have in common is the story line that follows “One night, “Brenda” made an accidental discovery that would revolutionize the whole skin care industry: she combined them.”
Let’s take a closer look at what these two creams promise and their ingredients to see if they are really “revolutionary.”
Bellalabs Instant Wrinkle Reducer promises to be the last moisturizer you will ever need.  According to their website, using  Bellalabs will plump and rejuvenate your skin for lasting beauty.  With their special formulation, you will see a 400% increase in moisturization in less than three days and a 200% increase in firmness after just a week.  And you will notice a 70% reduction of fine lines after just four weeks of use.
From what we can decipher, Bellalabs relies on two proprietary formulas to achieve these incredible results. First is the Elastin Formula, which includes peptides that turn back the effects of aging at the cellular level by reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
Next is the Collagen Formula which produces younger-looking skin within minutes of application which smooths, plumps, and firms your skin. Bellalabs also contains Vitamin E, an antioxidant to help protect skin from free radical damage and doubles as a rich moisturizer to help keep skin well-hydrated and looking soft and dewy.
LaCreme Anti Wrinkle Cream’s website claims their product is “better than botox” and that you’ll see an 83% decrease in wrinkles and fine lines, a 92% increase in collagen production, and a 65% decrease in the appearance of dark circles but it doesn’t mention a time frame in which this will occur.
The only mention of ingredients for La Creme is that it includes peptides which helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, promote collagen production, add skin firmness, and replenish vitamins and antioxidants.
Now, it’s hard to compare products when the companies don’t actually provide the actual ingredients, but at first glance, their ingredients seem very similar:  peptides and collagen boosters.
While both are advantageous ingredients within a wrinkle cream, I wouldn’t call it “revolutionary” nor do I like the fact that they don’t provide a full list of their ingredients and suggest that you need both creams to get results.
Furthermore, what’s true for both of these products is that they claim there are clinical trials, but in fact there are none! If there were, they would provide the direct links to the clinical trials within their website, like Kollagen Intensiv does!

The Headache that a Short Term Free Trial Can Bring to an Uninformed Customer

So you’ve gotten to the page to accept your free trial offer for LaCreme (we’ll use them as an example) and you only have to pay $4.95 for shipping yayyy!
Hold on a minute, did you read the terms and conditions? Probably not because they’re buried on the bottom of the page. Did you give them your bank information and shipping address? Yes, because you were required to.
If you did read the fine print, you would’ve learned that you have 14 days from your original order date to see if LaCreme is right for you.
So you receive the cream maybe 12 days after ordering, use it for a couple days, and WHAM, your credit card is billed $87.63 for the initial order, you don’t notice it, and then 30 days later (and each month thereafter) you’re billed another $87.63 and sent another tub of LaCreme.
Bellalabs has the exact same terms and conditions, the price is the same, everything is the same. The problem is, for one the free trial period is only 14 days which is hardly enough time to make an informed decision if you like the products, and two, you may not have realized what you signed up for, and three, these two companies are notorious for being impossible to reach to cancel your free trial. Just take a look at the customer complaints sited on pissedconsumer.com.

Conclusion

Bellalabs and LaCreme are running very deceptive marketing campaigns to make you believe that Ellen Degeneres is using these creams and that they are her secret weapon to anti-aging, along with misleading quotes that allude to Dr. Oz recommending these products, both of which are false advertising.
I couldn’t find any information on Ellen’s or Dr. Oz’s websites supporting or even mentioning Bellalabs or LaCreme.
While these two creams appear to be of decent quality (although hard to determine because they don’t provide the ingredients) and would probably do a fine job at simply moisturizing, they seem to have very similar, if not identical ingredients so there’s no reason you would need to order both.
It seems to be just a ploy to sucker you into signing up for not one, but two short-term free trial offers. I highly recommend you save your money and steer clear of the Bellalabs and LaCreme combo offer.
