Written by | published on

This photo of a 37-year old woman some of you may already have seen Facebook testifies to the success of 12 weeks on 333U/cc retinol cream + high intensity laser pulses (Fink. 2006) I guess, or should I say, I'd hope (?) that some of you have already been waiting eagerly for the write-up of yesterday's Special Installment of the SuppVersity Science Round-Up on the Super Human Network and all the details and obviously the supps, Carl and I could not squeeze into this 1h+ show. Before you go over this huge (and this is also why it took me so long to post this) serving of the "Seconds", I do yet highly recommend that you download and listen to the podcast, first . You can grap the MP3, right here .  It's free and if you don't like the ads, just skip forward, but please come to terms with the fact that a daily 2h radio has to be financed one way or another! Let's dig right into this lumpy-bumby skin condition, now! Despite the fact that they did...

Image 1: ROC anti-cellulite intensive cream ; supposedly, the product used in this study I've said this before, but in a different context: I love companies who do even try to back their products by scientific studies and thus I cannot really decry Johnson & Johnson for funding a study on one of their products, the name of which - and this is interesting - is yet not even mentioned in the respective publication ( Roure. 2011 ) in the May issue of the International Journal of Cosmetic Science . While parts of the study were done ex vivo and in the petri dish, the interesting part, i.e. the part, I want to focus on, was an in vivo study with female 78 subjects (mean ages: placebo, 38y / product, 41y) who matched the following criteria: Participants in the study were required to have a body mass index (BMI = weight height −2 ) between 20.0 and 26.0 kg m −2 and to present a modest amount of orange ...
