Don't you always sit up in your chair when the latest cutting edge skin care technology promises heaven and earth? The latest one I have found says that this particular system uses the body's immune system to repair skin and power skin cell renewal. If it is talking about repairing skin, then it would seem ideal for sagging skin care.
But is it safe and effective? I did some research and found that the main ingredient in this particular case was beta -glucan. This acts on the skin's immune system and the results are repaired skin tissues and stronger growth leading to firmer and better toned skin. Research is not complete as to long term effects on the skin or indeed on human health
You can imagine my surprise when I saw listed with the beta glucans, some rather suspect characters from the bad old days. These were tocopherol which is a toxin for human skin, benzyl alcohol which is a strong neurotoxin and butylphenol which is a toxin for the immune system. Strange that its main ingredient strengthens the immune system while another ingredient damages it! This latter ingredient is already banned in the EU, by the way.
It seems weird that the latest cutting edge technology is using ingredients for sagging skin care which are now dangerous and old hat. It is rather like designing a super car of the future but it can only run on petrol!
