| I've heard that Coffeberry and Idebenone is one of the best supplements for skin. Who's using it? |

I am so happy that somebody finally talks about coffeeberry.
I have strong interest in the coffeeberry products from Revale Skin.
I've heard people said coffeeberry is the most strong natural anti-oxidant we've ever found.
There is also talks over idebonen, saying that it is actually not so powerful as previously claimed.
So I don't know if they are the most powerful skin supplements. But I wanted to try coffeeberry products...  |

I've read that coffeeberry has very high ORAC value, much higher than say blueberries, or even acai. I've thought it may be worth trying as an antioxidant supplement because though it is quite pricey, I might actually save money because I could use less and not bother with taking a multitude of others.
I've wondered how it might work as an active in a DIY cream also. When I was researching Acai I read that there has been no scientific evidence that it has value as a topical despite all the claims to the contrary in companies promoting products that contain it. I'm wondering if coffeeberry would be the same. A kind of "couldn't hurt" ingredient, but something to weigh against the price.
I've read that acai contains vitamins C & E. I read coffeeberry contains ferulic acid, so I'm naturally tempted to combine them into a product and see what happens despite lack of scientific evidence. Maybe sometime if I get some extra cash. |

Do a search on either one of those ingredients, and you'll find lots of discussion from 2007 and 2008.
My dermatologist has participated in studies on coffeeberry, and he is a strong believer. He also takes cofeeberry supplements internally. He says it provides 10x more powerful antioxidant protection than green tea.
He actually gave me (free) a full-size bottle of the Revale Skin night cream, which I believe retails for about $110. I just got that yesterday, and applied it last night. It calmed the redness and bumpiness of my rosacea skin, gave my skin a nice glow, and plumped up the skin so that the large pores look almost invisible. I've had similar results from Dr. Kassy's DIY rosacea cream, so although it's a nice night cream, I can't say that it's worth the cost after just one try.
I'll post a review on this product after I've had time to see if it really works. |
