I recently started using a product called Hydroderm. It has a
patented delivery system, and is the only product that supposedly
delivers collagen directly to the dermal layer, or lower layers of
the skin where collagen injections are directed. Some well designed
studies have been done as I recall. Life Extension has a very
positive article on it in Apr 2004 at:

http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2004/apr2004_cover_hydro_01.htm

I've used DMAE, type II chicken cartilage and other things with good
results, but nothing I've used comes close the results I'm getting
from Hydroderm after only three weeks. It costs about $50 for a 60
day supply at Hydroderm or LEF, which I'm finding is going to last
longer than that if used on the face and neck only.

I don't sell Hydroderm, and have no financial stake in it.


[Hello Mike... thanks for telling us your experience with
Hydroderm. I read the Life Extension article and I am interested
in using this product... maybe I will order it through LEF,
my problem is to be able to receive it in Mexico... Thanks
for writing. - Ellis]

Ellis,

Awhile back you were askig about any products that were
available to help with wrinkles...I have found a product
called Stryvectin SD at GNC which was developed to
diminish stretch marks but has also been found to reduce
wrinkling...

I was suspicious of the product claims, but armed with the
30 day money back guarantee that GNC offers, I purchased
the product about two weeks ago...I was primarily concerned
about wrinkling around my mouth...

After using the product for only two weeks I have to say
that it appears to be living up to the claims the
manufacturer makes... it's a little pricey for all over body
use at $140 per tube but if one confines the use to the face
the product should last for many months...

Terry

[Hello Terry... Very interesting, but could you please tell
us a little more details: how and why do you feel it is taking
away wrinkles around your mouth... and how do you know it is
due to this product, and not to the growth hormone that you
are taking? Thanks for writing. - Ellis]
