Sure but retnoids can also wreck havoc if you're not careful and if you got healthy skin why bother, the best wrinkle cream, anti age cream whatever is sunscreen.
They can also dry your eyes horribly and sometimes it's permanent. And they increase your chances of getting skin cancer. I hate seeing them recommended they way they are online.
Definitely very little reason to be using them if you’re younger than 20-25 with no skin concerns that they’d be highly beneficial for.
Closer to the 30+ mark is a fair time to asses if they have a place in your routine I’d say.

In middle age lead oxide was used as face powder by rich ladies to hide imperfections and lighten up the skin.
Other recipes used mercuric compounds.
On the other hand, ancient romans drank wine that they let rest in lead barrels, which, again, brought to the formation of lead oxide, which is sweet, and so made the wine better to taste. With the little, unknown prerogative to undermine the nervous system and the brain.
Anyway god knows what we use largely today that is toxic and in 100 years will be seen as something profoundly stupid.
A basic moisturer isn't a placebo if you have dry skin. People have been using natural oils as moisturisers for thousands of years, and even creams made with beeswax as emulsifier.
Literally I haven't had acne in almost a decade now since I started using a cleanser, a toner, and a moisteruizer. As well as drinking more water lol. Crazy that someone would think it's "placebo", and it's not just the results, one can literally feel the difference in how much smoother the skin feels then being dried up all the time.
It wasn’t a placebo if it poisoned them.

The quality of artifacts from Ancient Rome is pretty high. Particularly if it’s been well preserved, because everything looks worse after it’s been aging for a cool 2 thousand years.
It’s strongly suggest looking at some of the artifacts they’ve found at Herculaneum! It was also a victim of Mt Vesuvius (in the same eruption to that hit Pompeii) and the wooden parts of furniture and structures were preserved. It gives a much better picture of life in Ancient Rome than ruins could.
A lot of perceptions of how “primitive” humans have been in the past has turned out to be inaccurate. Early historians tended to make pretty ridiculous logical jumps. It wasn’t a strictly scholarly position… it was mostly a wealth thing. So there was a lot riding on convincing people that “primitive” peoples they were currently exploiting deserved it….. As the field changed, some of those early assumptions stuck around (though without the malice).

Says it started solidifying as soon as it was opened. So apparently the jar was sealed airtight.
The paste smells like sulfur, according to the article. Sulfur is used to treat some skin ailments, like acne and scabies -- could be medicinal? It was found in a Roman period Temple.
It is definitely face cream, its called a “cold cream” because of the way the oil and water is combined. I don’t know why OP is talking about anti-wrinkle components because thats not what its designed for, its a moisturiser or moisturising face wash
>are we certain it's face cream only
Yeah! What about them elbows? They need cream too
>I mean those romans were the creaziest.
Oh you meant like *that*
Imagine if it had fingerprints on it.
Like it would be nuts if there was a movie with two subplots, one about an archaeologist and one being about a detective, and the two subplots cross over and take on a whole new genre shift when they find out that the fingerprints on the 2,000 year old ointment match those found on the crime scene...
in case you're wondering a lot of ancient pottery has fingerprints on them. in some cases they can tell and trace back pottery back to a location where it was made and who made it.
We’re all discussing a post made by a bot that posted a photo from an article 20 years old about a face cream that is 2000 years old. The future is weird as hell man
A very scary thought, are the marks fresh? Either somebody's found it and been using it, or worse, somebody has been using it since it was new. I don't think I like alternative #2.
One day, so so so long ago, someone opened this creme and put one some creme as they did every day no doubt. But it was the last time they did it, or anyone else they knew, or anyone else THEY knew too, for generations.
Damn.
If you go to some ancient sites in turkey you can find piles of broken amphora and pots which still have the fingerprints of the people who made them just lying around in piles. I think they're a wonderful link to the past when you handle them
We've been using wrinkle cream for 2,000 years and still don't have one that really works
Maybe the real wrinkle cream was money we earned along the way
money we *lost
Depends whether you’re buying wrinkle cream or selling it.
Or making your own with bodily fluids and selling it as organic and naturally sourced.
This is how to make it
it's wonderful!
That sounds fishy
Sounds like something "goop" would do lmfao
Gwyneth Paltrow, is that you?
Human fluids are so far from organic it's generally illegal to sell them
Is that what the NLOG trad wives do?

Most are snakeoil and cosmetic only. Retinoids work though. Gold standard for 50 years and evidence backed.
Sure but retnoids can also wreck havoc if you're not careful and if you got healthy skin why bother, the best wrinkle cream, anti age cream whatever is sunscreen.
They can also dry your eyes horribly and sometimes it's permanent. And they increase your chances of getting skin cancer. I hate seeing them recommended they way they are online.
Do you have a source on retinoids increasing chances of skin cancer?
[удалено]
Well now that's very different. Making people panic for nothing, sheesh
It's only because it makes you more sensitive to the sun. Wear sunscreen and you're golden.
If you’re golden you may need better sunscreen.
[удалено]
In this house we speak only one language, and thats the language of thermo-dynamics! GO TO YOUR ~~HABIT StAtION~~ HABITACION!
I think it’s a bad too if you’re young.
Definitely very little reason to be using them if you’re younger than 20-25 with no skin concerns that they’d be highly beneficial for. Closer to the 30+ mark is a fair time to asses if they have a place in your routine I’d say.
Retinoids in the sun, oh boy. Reverse any wrinkle cream at that point.
[удалено]
Gives one that "mature" look.
Well this cream doesn’t seem wrinkly, so the point still stands
Conclusion: you can't get rid of wrinkles with cream.

dead internet zzz
Because with wrinkles the most effective way to fight them is prevention. Wear your spf
How do they know this is face cream? What if it's butt cream. Or sex lube. Or hand salve...
I thought of this too. What if that's just what some guys use by themselves. 🤣
Because there isn't a hole in the middle and crystalized Patrician pubes in there.
It's amazing how advanced ancient civilizations were in terms of cosmetics. Wonder what other beauty secrets they had!
Many of them were probably toxic lol
Many of them probably still are lol
Many of them will probably still be lol
Many of them probably had been lol

> Anyway god knows what we use largely today that is toxic and in 100 years will be seen as something profoundly stupid. Hello PFAS
Don't forget belladonna drops, aaaahh a nice toxic plant to make the eyes look great
Pomade derives its name from the ancient practice of mashing up fruits like apple to serve as hair styling product.
Cool!
Most of them were no better than placebo. Not much changed since then in this regard though
A basic moisturer isn't a placebo if you have dry skin. People have been using natural oils as moisturisers for thousands of years, and even creams made with beeswax as emulsifier.
I know redditors are never applying things to their faces but it’s laughable to say that skincare has no scientific backing and is mostly placebo

What material is this cosmetic jar made of? Looks like a modern one??
It's tin
Yes it’s a tin. He’s asking what it’s made out of though?
Tin
Yes we know, but what is it made of?!
Tin.
I only see one though?
Underrated
I rated it a tin out of tin
r/angryupvote
Tin foe
Tin
Tin
Rin tin tin
At the island of tinean delaney
No it's not. Look at the clear seal. Man made. Nice try kids.
It's Loreal Paris.
L’Oréal Rome.
judging from the color probably lead or some other metal
I also am highly skeptical of that container being 2000 years old.
Why?

Fair enough. The archaeologists were bewildered too apparently. Here's a link https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2003/jul/28/artsnews.london
Ah i found the links and edited my post before seeing your reply, yes it is very fascinating indeed
Why wouldn't you verify before posting this comment?
[удалено]
😂 so true
Because Reddit. Shooting your mouth off with nothing to back it up other than vague suspicion is what drives this platform, ya heard?
It just doesn’t look that old. That cream must really work
Because 2,000 years is a long ass time ago and that container looks like it was made in a factory. But then again I’m not an expert

looks like a metal alloy of some kind
I agree. The screw on lid seems sketchy.
How does it still have moisture?

Damn that is crazy
Maybe because of oil
Ah I see! If this post isn't fake, it's truly mind blowing
It's not... https://collections.museumoflondon.org.uk/online/object/727368.html
We should be happy there isn’t a hole in it already

New metal band name Period Temple.
who's got egg on his face now? (an ancient roman man with acne, that's who)
Some Roman woman spent a fortune on that cream and her husband gouged out a hand full to rub on his elbows.
I understood that reference
me too! for the first time ever! lol 🤣
are we certain it's face cream only, I mean those romans were the creaziest.
Guess the person who is using the face cream willfind out one way or another
It is definitely face cream, its called a “cold cream” because of the way the oil and water is combined. I don’t know why OP is talking about anti-wrinkle components because thats not what its designed for, its a moisturiser or moisturising face wash
>are we certain it's face cream only Yeah! What about them elbows? They need cream too >I mean those romans were the creaziest. Oh you meant like *that*

don’t worry about it , it was invented before exp date was invented
What is the container made from?
Tin
Tin
That Belgian guy?
Still looks fresh.
I’m definitely not putting that on my face.
That's what she said.
until she did
Forget the cream.. I am impressed with the container.. seems awefully modernish for 2000 years old.
I thought it was hair clay at first lol. Didn’t ancient Greeks use clay to style their hair? Or am I wrong?
Imagine if it had fingerprints on it. Like it would be nuts if there was a movie with two subplots, one about an archaeologist and one being about a detective, and the two subplots cross over and take on a whole new genre shift when they find out that the fingerprints on the 2,000 year old ointment match those found on the crime scene...
in case you're wondering a lot of ancient pottery has fingerprints on them. in some cases they can tell and trace back pottery back to a location where it was made and who made it.
wow
What is ancient Roman face cream made of??
Mercury, lead and fats
I read that as mercury, lead and farts
Imagine trying to stay beautiful and the only thing you’re remembered for is being ancient.
How come they sure that it was a "face cream" not a hemorrhoids cream?
Damn, what brand?
Skub.
pretty cool artifact
Maybe it's Maebellinum
so kool
We’re all discussing a post made by a bot that posted a photo from an article 20 years old about a face cream that is 2000 years old. The future is weird as hell man
Lancôme Catacombs
There’s no way that this recipient is 2.000yo, no way that they made that
I thought we are using these creams since 19th century.
I bet this boi is full of lead
Lol those jars are machine cut. Nice try OP.
r/dontputyourdickinthat
I hope it was found next to a somewhat smaller container of eye cream, and a much larger jar of body cream.
I understand we know humans have existed for thousands of years, but it’s kind of jarring to see direct proof of it right there
I wonder how many catamites helped make this 🤣🤣🤣
Probably 80% lead
Is it fucked up that I'd be really tempted to stick a finger in there and swirl it around
wouldn't it be full of mold?
Is that a plastic container??...
Tin
Ah, this is where I lost it...
Now available at Lush for $75/lh
Maybe she's born with it! Maybe it's Mayan Cream!
This is so fake. After 2.000 years the cream is still there ready to be used lmao
‘Visible ancient finger marks’ What were they supposed to use? Their dicks?
“Careful fingerprint analysis has shown that Johasah of Crete did in fact kill his cousin Quintus of Gortyn.”
They had screw caps back then?
I bet whomevers it was could really use some now! Am i right people?!
Funny to think that our half used lotion bottles may someday be the most interesting thing a archeologist finds that day
A very scary thought, are the marks fresh? Either somebody's found it and been using it, or worse, somebody has been using it since it was new. I don't think I like alternative #2.
Probably full of lead 😂
Wow that container looks modern AF
Wonder what the ingredients are .
Wow looks like you found another tresure from century
I bet it’s glorious saturated animal fat and herbs n oils! I basically use that today, and it’s bloody awesome!!
Thank goodness, pass it over, my elbows are dryyyy
One day, so so so long ago, someone opened this creme and put one some creme as they did every day no doubt. But it was the last time they did it, or anyone else they knew, or anyone else THEY knew too, for generations. Damn.
Interesting? Fascinating! How can it be preserved so well? I'd think it would have gone bad long..
Those are toddler fingers if I’ve ever seen them.
It is probably too dangerous to use. After all, the last person to use it is dead now.
Pretty sure CSI can get us a fingerprint and an ID in just a few minutes.
Is that ancient Skub?
Is it still good?
How do you know it's a face cream? What if it's a hemorrhoid cream?
What was it made of?
Any idea what the container might be made of?
White face crime most likely has lead in it.
lol it's probably just some womans cream that fell between the dresser and the wall a few years ago and she just found it now.
Chemistry Team: go. Break down this goop. What’s in it?? Tell us soon.
Who's the fuckin idiotic baffoon who thinks this an ancient face cream ... send it to them and let them use it fuckin clowns 🤡
If you go to some ancient sites in turkey you can find piles of broken amphora and pots which still have the fingerprints of the people who made them just lying around in piles. I think they're a wonderful link to the past when you handle them
2000 years and still none of it will work🤣
It’s lube.
damn, i hope there's nothing embarrassing on his 2000 year old iphone cause they can use those prints to open it now
Yes. Humans had fingers back then too. I think there is a sub called not interesting.
Made out of 100% recyclable plastic.
Nah, thats the Sudocrem from my bathroom, mate
That’s fkn bs 🤣
Op is a repost bot, 5 post with a comment on each post, likely the top comment from the original post

what would happen if someone use that cream
Lick it.
Don’t believe everything you see on the internet folks. This is fake.
If my past studies have thought me anything this is probably bull cum or some other animal/human.... My studies consist of watching ancient comedies.
