DDF

I am not sure if the ingredient list is complete, I doubt it. It seems like only the list of active ingredients. Judging from what is listed, this seems to be a highly potent and concentrated treatment against dryness and prevent aging. But there should be other ingredients not listed and some of those might be irritating. For this I conserved one star.

Interesting…the ingredients adenine, thymidine, guanine and cytosine are actually components of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). DNA is genetic material. The purpose of having them here may be to influence DNA reprograming and in consequence cell fate. As “biotech” as it sounds, putting DNA in a skin-care product is questionable if not unfavorable. DNA assembly is extremely complex process rather than just having the “building blocks”. There is no known benefits. Even worse, without established safety profile, efforts that indeed affect DNA regulation may lead to malignant cellular mutation.

Safety alert: Cautious
review based on scientific information of the product ingredients.

1st ingredient		ascorbic acid is vitamin C. It is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent.
2nd ingredient		lecithin is phospholipid found in egg yolks and cell membranes. It is a natural moisturizing factor that acts as an emollient and water-binding agent.
3rd ingredient		soy extract is potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. Soy also reduces free radicals damage. Soy extract has been reported to stimulate collagen generation and therefore regulate skin thickness and elasticity. In addition, soy extract effectively stimulates production of hyaluronic acid in skin and retains skin water content.
