Should I be wary of skin creams that claim to repair DNA?

Anything that can alter me on a molecular level shurely can't be that good for you?


it's called DNageShould I be wary of skin creams that claim to repair DNA?
I didn't see a claim to repair DNA on the Nivea site.





I saw a claim that it will protect your skin's DNA from future damage. Any good sunscreen will do that. No need to spring for something that's high priced.Should I be wary of skin creams that claim to repair DNA?
Yes, I would be wary of it, since there is NO credible scientific research or proof that such repair actually takes place. The best you can hope for is, it doesn't actually alter the DNA.... or else you actually have a chance of having mutated skin cells. (ie. cancer)
The only things topical creams can do for you is drain your pocketbook. Eat a balanced diet, get plenty of rest, excercise and drink plenty of water!
The late Dame Anita Roddick, the founder of The Body Shop, once said ';I am perpetually amazed how much people will pay for what is basically an oil-in-water emulsion';.

  • Is there any type of skin creams to remove moles ?

    im looking for a skin cream that you could find at wal-mart,target,or longs drugs that would help me remove this mole without it coming back.please help meIs there any type of skin creams to remove moles ?
    Like above I heard and seen wartner, but I don't know if it will work. There is some out in the market, just ask the pharmacist guy.


    I much prefer you to go to the doctor as its a cheap and fast procedure.


    It stinks a little bit cause they are freezing your mole off. After that you get a little scar, but it will go away around a week.


    Is there any type of skin creams to remove moles ?

    use a razorIs it ok to use veet hair removal cream for sensitive skin to remove my pubic hair ?
    I'm pretty sure it will say on the bottle if it is safe. But it probably isn't. Sorry.
    I wouldn't recommend it... lol
    Read the bottle.. it says, DO NOT USE FOR BIKINI WAXES.


    There, problem solved. Use a razor.
    i suggest you not use it on pubic area, you might get an infection.try waxing instead.
    Nair has one especially for the bikini area. It's like $5 and is in a little bottle. There's not a lot of it..But it works.
    no, you can't use it down there. it says on the packaging.

    Why do people who invent these ';miraculous'; skin creams and de-aging creams et.. not use them themselves?

    It seems all of these people don't use their own inventions, because dang they look old, and a lot look rougher then their patients/consumers.Why do people who invent these ';miraculous'; skin creams and de-aging creams et.. not use them themselves?
    Not all look like you describe. Many are relatively young, attractive models, movie stars, celebrities and the like who are in the business solely because it's so lucrative. They obviously do not use their own products to stay that way because they know their products contain countless skin harming and skin aging and health threatening chemical ingredients.


    It sounds like you believe these rip off toxic products actually work. A recent nationwide survey of women anti-aging product users found less than 50% said they had actually given any benefit at all.


    Check out these sites to see how damaging to skin and health these products are.

    I am trying to buy oregon grape root in a cream to use on the skin?

    i hear it is good for psoriasis as anyone out there had good resultsI am trying to buy oregon grape root in a cream to use on the skin?
    Oregon grape root is useful in treating the various symptoms of ';damp heat,'; such as:


    麓 Abdominal fullness and distention


    麓 Constipation alternating with diarrhea


    麓 Foul-smelling loose stools,


    麓 General feeling of heaviness,


    麓 Nausea,


    麓 Reduced appetite,


    麓 Reduced thirst although with the sensation of dry mouth,


    麓 Sticky, thick, and yellow or green mucous discharges,


    麓 Watery, oozing skin eruptions, and


    麓 ';Red'; symptoms: red tongue, hot flushes, bad temper, rapid pulse.


    (Practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine are likely to note that Oregon grape root is less appropriate than coptis in treating syndromes in which there is a ';deficiency of Yin,'; an inherent tendency to lose fluids.)


    Oregon grape root脥s best-researched application in modern herbal medicine, however, is in the treatment of chronic inflammatory skin conditions, such as psoriasis.


    Typical Preparations


    Topical creams containing 10% tincture of Oregon grape root.


    Also used as tea, tincture and it may be administered in capsule form.


    Proper dosage is important:


    麓 Tea: 1 to 2 grams (1/2 to 1 teaspoon) of dried root steeped in 150 ml (approximately 2/3 of a cup) of hot water for 10 to 15 minutes three times daily. This is not the same dosage as for the chopped herb.


    麓 Tincture: 3 to 6 ml. (1/2 to 1-1/2 tsp) three times daily (but no more than three doses of any kind of Oregon grape root product per day).


    麓 For skin disorders: 10% tincture in ointment, applied to the skin three times daily
