    Hello Beauty Brains,

    I love your blog and it helped me a lot with deciding which product to buy. 
    I wanted to get your opinion on this brand 3Lab which has ridiculously expensive products. For example, one of their serums costs $575! I wanted to ask you if there is something that magican on the ingedient list that makes the price so high.
    From what I understood the main ingredient is a petide that supposes to reduce appearance of wrinkles. 
    Could you please look at this ingredient list?
    Thank you

    Very interesting (and very over-priced!) I’ll take a look at this when I get a chance.

    The only ingredients in this formula that have been proven to have anti-aging benefits (as far as I know) are the peptides. Those are available in other products at a much lower price so I’m hard pressed to imagine how this product is worth almost $600. 

    Still, I’m keeping an open mind and I’ve reached out to the company and asked for a copy of the clinical test that is mentioned on their website. If they provide me with any additional information I’ll share it here.

    For what it’s worth, I received an answer from 3Lab the day after I contacted them asking for the clinical study which they referenced on their website.

    Here’s the response: 
    Dear Mr. Schueller,
    Thank you for reaching out to us. May I ask, what is the name of your blog or publication?

    Thanks,
    Christina

    Here’s what I said in return: 

    Hi Christina,
    Thanks for the quick response. I’m a cosmetic chemist and cofounder of the Beauty Brains website. (www.thebeautybrains.com). 
    One of our readers asked about your product and I’d appreciate any additional information you can provide.
    Regards,
    Randy Schueller
    It’s been 8 days and I’ve received no further information. I assume that means they’re not interested in sharing the results of their study but only time will tell.
