Hi Sharky,
Why don't you go on their web site and tell them that. I know they will mail out samples to you. Just try, who knows? 
I was hoping I could help you. I know it is expensive but sometimes it is worth it.  |

| A little while ago, I read on this board about using gelatin to fade dark circles. Has anyone gotten results from this? |

Re vive. It claims to have IGF but
I have read articles saying what people claim about IGF on skin is not true. Also it is many times more expensive than what I am using and what really works. I had such dark hyperpigmentation and it is now gone.
Why should I pay 4 times as much on something where they don't even list ingredients?! |
I hate it wneh they don't list ingredients! As if I need to spend my time searching for them. That is so great the Haloxyl has worked so well, and quickly! |

| Yes and it's not just the actives. I've had bad reactions to some ingredients especially to bee related products and hydroquinone among others. It bothers me not to know before I even try a sample whether I'm going to get hives or not. |

I've been on the boards for a long while and I do University research in the physical sciences some relating to medicine. This is a generic "no name" product. I can see all the people promoting many hundred dollar creams not liking this but it worked for me especially for the hydroquinone caused hyperpigmentation (which in fact is a common problem affecting many people.
P.S. I work at the same institution as Perricone interned and had privledges(as a forum head can attest from my e-mail) and although I do not know him at all
when his name comes up some doctor's do joke about some of the high cost creams and their dubious effectiveness.
P.S.S As a physical scientist who sometimes works with MDs I also have first hand knowledge about how funding source affects the reliability of results, not necessarily intentionally but in study design, focus and what is reported. On the physical science side almost none of our research is funded by interested parties. On the medical side although NIH is big much of the research is sponsored by interested parties. For me it is an eye opener.
P.S.S.S. This is not meant to claim special knowledge just to say this is where my views/experience comes from. I have good friends who are working on antioxidants in particular Resveratrol and that has topical applications. Yes I do take Resveratrol because they do and have found remarkable properties.
Everyone is influenced by their coworkers and environment as I'm sure I am. My exposure to these issues comes from exposure to people doing research and the very wealthy parents at my child's school so this is what has formed my opinions. |

| Hi Sharky whenever you post there is a definite scientific bent that shows through, and now I know why. I find your evaluations very objective and I pay special attention to what you say. Thank you, I have benefitted much from what you have shared in this forum. |
