As long there's dry, scaly painful skin and wrinkles, there will always be oils and creams to, hopefully, make them disappear then improve, or at least, soothe them away.

EB5 Original 5-in-1 Anti-Aging Facial Treatment comes from Portland's version of Kiehl's, abet a more recent one.  In 1960, Pharmacist Heldfond helped local Portland hospitals create a way to deliver topical medications to patients in need. His cream proved so effective the nurses started using it on their own skin. They would come to the pharmacy and ask for it in bulk. It was simple yet highly effective.  It diminished fine lines and wrinkles, neutralized free radicals, attracted needed moisture. His idea was simple: use five anti-aging ingredients to treat the 12 signs of aging skin, delivering one result.

The younger Heldfond studied vitamins E and B and their affect on skin. He included extracts and oils, and advanced pharmaceutical-influenced ingredients, all chosen because of their ability to treat skin. He patented the formula, calling it the original 5-in-1 facial cream and it quickly became the choice for women of all ages.
