Dear Dr Pickart and Others,

Here are some products that sound good. Just want to know what you think of the ingredients and if any of you have tried these products. I want to add more active ingredients to my SRCP products, especially a Vitamin A or variation.

Cosmedix:
Define - Vit A resurfacing treatment(chirally correct)
L-lactic acid, albumin, L-retinol AGP, L-malic acid, L-tartaric acid, D-alpha tocopherol, D- aloe vera extract, L-apha-bisabolol, fullerenes

Comment - Retinol does very little - it has been in skin creams for 60 years and women got severe wrinkle. Bisabolol is usually from bananas but not normally in human skin. Fullerines cause brain damage in animals - but are probably OK for people already brain damaged by injections of toxins and neuropeptides. The remainder are various hydroxy acids.

Eye Believe:
liquid crystals, spin trap, alpha lipoic acid, coconunt extracts, copper peptides, copper salicylate, copper amino acids, copper gluconate, chlorophyllin copper.

Comment - Liquids crystals??? Spin traps grab free radicals but very strong anti-oxidants inhibit energy production, stop the immune system from killing cancer cells, viruses, and bacteria. Copper gluconate is often toxic to cells.

Dermatique cell renewal formula:
deionized water, drake oil, cetyl alcohol, sorbitan stearate, isoprpyl myristate, petrolatum, lanolin, sorbitol, methylparaben, beeswax, ceresin, propylparaben, retinyl palmitate, triethanolamine, tetraidothyronine, betaestradiol.

Comment - Looks like a good water barrier but Drake Oil usually means petroleum produced by Edwin L. Drake, who drilled the first modern oil well in Pennsylvania.

Kinerase - C6 peptide intensive treatment with argireline, microencapsulated L-ascorbic acid, green tea extract, Vit E, hyaluronic acid.

Comment - These peptides push proteins into the skin but do not help remove damaged protein.

Thanks,

Julie
