    Hi,
    I want to learn more about the best ingredients for problematic skin. I read an interesting article on a website similar to this that spoke about MSM, AHA, DMAE and Rooibos tea. While trying to research these I got confused with all the different info. One place will say that DMAE is useful the next will say its hype.

    Could you tell me what you think about these ingredients and could you tell me where I could find professional books, journals or other scientific sources about their use and effectiveness that I could reference.

    Thank you,

    Tricia

    DMAE is a tricky term. :) It appears in two forms - basic and salt (the most prominent is Bitartrate). You can not use DMAE in it’s basic form, since it’s highly alkaline. DMAE is the good active when used in methods of Mesotherapy. The topical use is still disputable - I’ve seen the perfect improvement among some people while others can not tell any significant results.
