    Federal Trade Commission action over cosmetic claims

    The FTC issued a cease-and-desist order concerning advertising claims for Charles of the Ritz products, particularly Rejuvenescence Cream. The regulator found claims that the cream could rejuvenate skin and restore a youthful appearance to be false or misleading. The product line was subsequently renamed Revenescence.
