I just found Dermae face cream with DMAE, Alpha Lipoic Acid, and C-Ester in the health food section of our grocery store. http://www.dermae.com

My skin has always been very finicky; it’s sensitive yet acne prone so I’ve had a lot of trouble trying to find a moisturizer that works for me.

Over Christmas 2008, my fiance bought me the MADE FROM EARTH Vitamin Enhanced Face Firming Serum. I was skeptical due to how my skin tends to react to different products. Well, I fell in love with “Made from Earth” immediately.

From the texture, to the way it melts into your skin and doesn’t leave that greasy feel, and the fact that it keeps my skin pretty much shine-free all day long.

I’m now 7months pregnant, and I was worried that my skin would completely breakout from the hormones, but Made from Earth’s “Green Tea Toxin Cleanser” face wash and “3 Berry Face Serum” have kept my skin breakout free and wonderful.

I love the Vitamin Enhanced Firming Serum – and a little bit goes a very long way, so it’s worth the money!

Hey, check this out. My next stop after the Brains to research Dermyn was Bulk Actives, which sells bulk ingredients to make your own products — including DMAE.

And they are really inexpensive.

I might be leery, except the site seems really well thought-out, with recipes, calculators and pretty thorough info about each product.

I emailed them asking whether I could substitute lecithin for one of their polymer-based thickening products. I probably am going to make my own “dermyn.” Susyn?

Thanks to the Beauty Brains for this excellent information on Dermyn, which I saw advertised in the newspaper.

When I saw the ad, I thought that it might be a topical version of Thermage, which tightens the skin by promoting collagen production — by DAMAGING the skin with laser heat.

Don’t a lot of de-wrinkling products damage the skin a little bit in order to stimulate collagen production? For example, glycolic acid products?

I wanted to say the same thing as Niall, I also read (on a Dutch website) that it decreases wrinkles by damaging the skin so actually the swelling of the skin make wrinkles look less deep, but it’s definately not good for your skin.
