The Neodermyl complex actually consists of 4 ingredients: Glycerin, Water, Methylglucoside Phosphate, Copper Lysinate/Prolinate. Here are the product’s primary claims:

• The “needle-free” collagen & elastin filler
• Revitalizes aged fibroblasts
• Reactivates collagen I, III and elastin synthesis in a fast and sustainable way.
• Visible results in only two weeks: skin is firmer, more supple, and deep wrinkles disappear.

This is in Isomers Super Serum and yes it is firming..Will deep wrinkle disappear i dont think so but i dont have any of those yet..Go read reviews at Evine.

If it did then it would no longer be a cosmetic but would cross the line into a drug, I believe.

I don't see why it would cross any line. I'm just trying to figure out by what mechanism (such as cell turnover) it stimulates the collagen.

Where do you buy it?

Neodermyl is Methyl Glucoside Phosphate Proline Lysine Copper Complex. The long name indicates what active ingredients Neodermyl contains. They are three groups of ingredients, each of which is necessary to feed and regulate cellular collagen and elastin synthesis. First, Neodermyl provides MG6P (Methyl-Glucoside-6-Phosphate). MG6P is pre-activated glucose that can feed skin cells with energy without causing harmful glycation. Then, proline and lysine in Neodermyl are amino acids. How proline and lysine affect skin is less researched, but induchem companies believe that they play a major role in the production of collagens and elastin. Finally, copper interacts with the enzyme involved in the regulation of collagens and elastin. In summary, Neodermyl gathers all the essential elements on the metabolic pathway of skin cells.

Neodermyl is found in Algenist Genius and Isomer's Deep Crease Correction and the Super Serum but is higher up on the ingredient decks so I would imagine these are better places to start than Christie Brinkley's line...

You need essential amino acids for skin/cell function. But I don't see how applying them topically can have much benefit. You need them internally.

As usual, skeptic me thinks that it is a marketing gimmick.
