Always look to what the active ingredients are and what you are expected to pay for them. In this case it looks like the active ingredients are not new nor rare and expensive yet the price is steep. Also, the listed results of what each active ingredient may help are only temporary at best. I've cut/pasted some excerpts.

Let’s take a closer look at these ingredients: First, shea butter is an extract from the nut of the African shea tree and is said to contain vitamins A and E and thought to be anti-inflammatory and have moisturizing properties.
Next, cocoa butter is one product extracted from the cocoa bean (the other being cocoa powder) that is used in many foods as well as in cosmetics and creams. According to Live Science, cocoa butter consists of palmitic, stearic, and oleaic acids, which contain a lot of calories when eaten. However, a study showed that when rubbed on the body, cocoa butter appears to have no greater effect than a placebo on stretch marks from pregnancy or weight gain.
Beeswax is another popular food/cosmetic ingredient that comes (of course) from bees. We did find a study that seemed to indicate beeswax can help with dermatitis and psoriasis, but this had just 39 people.
Dill extract is one of the more promising ingredients. According to the Cosmetics Cop website, studies show dill may improve elastin (but they are also selling cosmetics). We did find a paper that seemed to back this claim up, but the authors also concluded more research is needed. WebMD cautions that dill may be an irritant and fresh dill juice can cause extra sensitivity to the sun.
Finally, apple extract is an ingredient that has had a lot of hype but very little evidence it does anything to fight crepe-like skin or wrinkles. A paper was published touting the anti-aging benefits of stem cells from a Swiss apple, but the head researcher admitted later that the effect could not be confirmed in a clinical trial.
Crepe Erase Cost $179.85 for Maximum Results and $79.90 for the Introductory. This is listed as $59.95 and $39.95 respectively, but the fine print reveals more details. For Maximum Results, you’ll be billed $59.95 upon initial order, then again 30 days later, and then a third time in 60 days. Then, you’ll be enrolled in an auto-ship program, and shipped more product and billed in a similar fashion plus $3.99 shipping per month.
