The Most Expensive Beauty Products
Forbes magazine has compiled a fascinating list of the most expensive cosmetics. These fourteen products are mostly aimed at reducing the signs of aging. The most expensive product is from the Revive line, which uses a bioengineered molecule called keratinocyte growth factor to turn over dying skin cells faster than normal. The growth factors are obtained from recombinant-DNA technology that creates synthetic replicas of molecules found in the human body. It's an expensive production process.
