The Jury May Still be Out But it’s Leaning toward Acceptance of Plaintiff's Claim

In its April 2006 issue, Marie Claire magazine consulted with a panel of experts in a review of the effectiveness of some of the latest cosmetic ingredients.



Dr. Cheryl Karcher, clinical instructor of dermatology at New York University Medical School, is quoted saying, "There are now over-the-counter alternatives for almost everything we offer in the doctor’s office. These products are not as strong as medical-grade versions, but they may be better for someone who wants to improve her skin without opting for more expensive dermatologic procedures."



I especially liked what the doctors had to say about peptides.



They allowed that some "may be able to help stimulate collagen production and prevent [the skin’s] breakdown when applied topically", and that "larger molecules called hexapeptides and septapeptides [e.g. acetyl hexapeptide-3 as found in LiftFusion and Avon Clinical Deep Crease] may inhibit the contraction of the tiny facial muscles that cause fine lines, but the jury is still out."



No doubt, they have seen some of the photos and statistics coming out of clinical trials. So they’re keeping open minds. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that they use some peptide products themselves!
