Yes! The Dermal Repair is awesome. Gets great reviews, although it is pricey. The best value is from amazon or ebay. Its about half price on Amazon compared to beauty sites.

Yes for me too! Well, I only use the SkinMedica product but I LOVE it.

Their sunscreen SPF50 is such a luxury. I don't use a regular moisturizer this stuff is so fabulous. It's expensive and they do have an SPF30 that costs a little less.

The reason I love the SPF50 is not so much because I believe it is a better sun protection but because the ingredients including coffee something or other is so nice on my skin.

SkinMedica uses foreskin fibroblast in it's face cream.

In addition to the obvious moral & ethical issues concerning using human cells in the production of anti-aging products -- there is also concern about the long term results of applying male fibroblasts onto women's faces on a daily basis.

Neocutis contains (terminated) fetal cells in their face cream.

These are issues that consumers should be aware of.

Do you realize that that article is written by a member of some site who has no creds at all?

I'm not suggesting that the article is true or false or any other adjective, but sheesh, anyone could write anything. You know the saying "I read it on the Internet, so it must be true"?

One thing I could easily discern is that this pippap poster is an ardent opponent of circumcision, so I think that drives much of what I read. Regardless, pippap the poster is not a credible source, IMO.

My DD works for a derm and just found out that they are going to carry this line in their office. In fact, they are having an event tonight with the vendor to introduct them to this line. My DD did say that it is very pricey but they do get discounts.

Years ago I used the TNS Recovery Complex and it just didn't help my skin. Later I found out it contains fragrance so that is probably why it did nothing for me. I have not tried any other SkinMedica products since they all have fragrance or some other ingredient I am allergic to.
