Extract:
"RoC Complete Lift promised to give middle-aged women younger-looking skin. The claim was backed up by a two-month clinical study.
But an independent expert found the study by Johnson and Johnson was flawed because it lacked objective measures, records and corroborating photography.
"We concluded the advert was misleading, " said the ASA, which banned the avert and warned the pharmaceutical giant to consult the Committee of Advertising Practice before making any more commercials.
The skin cream, which costs £17.99 for a 50ml tub, claimed to have a patented ingredient which was "clinically proven" to work in eight weeks. But members of the public complained at the small print which stated the product did not give a "physical lift.""
