Greetings,

I wonder whether anybody here tried this device, to comment on its efficacy:

Derma Roller, New Dermaroller 1.0 mm , Wrinkles, Scars, Acne



Here is what they claim (no endorsement implied):


Product Description:

This model is designed to induce the body's own production of collagen. Its needles have a length of 1.0 mm. The needles induce body own collagen (CIT) in deeper skin layers to strengthen the connective tissue and to minimize the typical "orange-skin-appearance". It is equipped with 192 stainless steel needles in 8 rows. Needle diameter: 0.25 mm. The model has a width of 20 mm.

How to use the derma roller:

1. Cleanse Face / Areas to be treated. Apply it in the horizontal, vertical, diagonal direction in entire face area.

2. Apply Serums / Solutions / Pure Vitamins Aqua & Roll the Derma Roller over the skin back and forth several times in different directions. Do not press too hard as it is not necessary for success. As a general guide, roll the Derma Roller over the area to be treated 10 times or 2-3 minutes.

3. After treatment, please protect your skin with Sun Block & try to refrain from cosmetics & make-up for 2~3 days as the skin is regenerating new recovery from the dermis & stimulating collagen production naturally. Each roller lasts 2-4 months.

Greetings,

I wonder whether anybody here tried this cream, to comment on its efficacy:

LifeCell Anti-Wrinkle Cream Anti-Aging Skin Care
~ Botox Alternative ~ 2.54 ounces





Here is what they claim (no endorsement implied):

Product Features


- LifeCell intensely moisturizes and nourishes your skin... like it has never been moisturized before ever!
- LifeCell reduces the appearance of discolorations and imperfections.
- LifeCell reduces the appearance of under-eye puffiness and dark circles.
Lips appear fuller; fine lines around the mouth appear smoothened and lip "bleed" is prevented.

Ingredients:

Dithiolane-3-Pentanoic Acid:
According to the Mayo Clinic Dithiolane-3-Pentanoic Acid is an antioxidant that penetrates skin cell membranes, where it neutralizes free radicals and increases the effectiveness of other antioxidants such as vitamins C and E.

Ascorbyl Palmitate:
Fat soluble form of Vitamin C. According to the Mayo Clinic, Topical vitamin C may reduce wrinkles, thicken skin and protect against sun damage. Vitamin C is an antioxidant nutrient that helps recycle vitamin E.

Deanol:
Considered a great ingredient to treat sagging skin. Speaking at the American Academy of Dermatology meet, Dr. Patricia Farris excitedly said. "This is the first time that we have seen evidence that any topical treatment could be helpful in treating the anatomic [muscular] changes that occur as a result of aging.

Idebenone:
A group of researchers developed the first ever protocol to compare the efficacy of antioxidants. They tested and compared 6 of the most potent antioxidants (including Ibedenone), known to science, on their effects on preventing free-radical skin-damage.

Acetyl Hexapeptide-3:
AH3 blocks the nerve signals (neurotransmitters) that control the contraction of facial muscles. This produces a significant reduction in both the depth and size of dynamic fine lines and wrinkles.

Regu:
LifeCell also has a proprietary Swiss formulation consisting of specially purified soy and rice peptides and yeast protein produced biochemically.

Directions:
A. Using the ring finger or pinkey - dot LifeCell along the edge of the orbital bone - the bone directly under the eye. Two dots of LifeCell should be sufficient to cover the area. Gently pat (do not rub!) the cream into the skin - staying around the edge of the bone. Do not get closer! LifeCell, once absorbed into the skin, will spread.
