Hello,

I had two questions:

1. Is using copper peptides with a 5% niacin gel (basically niacin in aloe vera) a contraindication? If not, should I wait any lenght of time before apply the gel?

2. I am planning to buy the clarisonic brush for skin, would that be worth the investment?

Thanks,

Firefly

I use a Sonicare toothbrush on my teeth but I cannot see any benefit of using ultrasound on your skin.

I have used ultrasound machines on skin to break it up for analysis. The Clarisonic brush must be much milder but I fail to the purpose.

Overcleaning skin does not help it. If you remove your superficial fats and acids, your skin's protective qualities are reduced. If you kill your normal skin bacteria, then your skin becomes open to colonization by pathogenic bacteria.
