    I'm confused by some of the statements that Emerge Skincare makes on their website.

    "Effective long term regulation and control of sebum, based on 5-alpha reductase inhibition. "
    "The new ingredient of Seb-Regu gets your skin Auto-protection. It controls hyperactivity in sebaceous glands to prevent overproduction of sebum and allows the skin to quickly absorb moisture. It keeps the skin feeling trouble-free, pleasant and healthy."

    Seb-Regu? Did they just make that up? The ingredients list is as follows:
    Water (Aqua), Glyceryl Stearate, Behenyl Alcohol, Palmitic Acid, Stearic Acid, Lecithin, Lauryl Alcohol, Myristyl Alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Isohexadecane, Glycerin, Argania Spinosa Kernel Extract, Serenoa Serrulata Fruit Extract, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Cyclomethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Xanthan gum, Myristyl, Myristate, Chamomile Extract, DMDM Hydantoin (and) Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Dehydroacetic Acid, Tetrasodium EDTA, Triethanolamine.

    Help, please! Will this actually reduce the oil production of my skin?

    I also found a product that claims to protect skin stem cells. Yikes.
    http://www.justskincare.com/Stem_Cell_Skin_Care_Serum.htm

    Stem Cell Skin Care Serum™ Emerge Labs presents a revolutionary technology that protects skin stem cells and combats chronological aging. The breakthrough patent pending active ingredient, PhytoCellTec Malus Domsestica, boosts the production of human skin stem cells, protects human skin stem cells from stress, thus decreasing wrinkles and producing younger, fresher looking skin.
    Using a novel, patent-pending plant cell culture technology, Emerge Labs introduces PhytoCellTec - dedifferentiated callus cells from a rare Swiss apple that studies show protect skin stem cells thus promoting self-renewal capacity of the skin. Apple stem cells are rich in epigenetic factors and metabolites that assure the longevity of skin cells. The application of plant cell cultures to maintain the function of skin stem cells is a breakthrough in anti-aging.

    No ingredients list for that one but they're charging $120 for it.

    This sounds like one that should be listed under "Biggest Beauty Lie You Ever Heard"
