I heard the grape seed extract can increase collagen production around the mouth area to reduce smoker lines etc.... Is this true?

collagen production is increased by vitamin "C". I personally use Organic Rose Hip oil around my eyes, mounth & all over the face. Not sure about GSE for that purpose. Hope this helps.

Not sure, but this is grapeFRUIT seed extract. It's a really good, natural citricidal.I'm with A. Allan on the Organic Rose Hip Seed Oil on my face. One of the few products I can use near my eyes any more.

You bet it does. Do the regimen twice daily on clean skin for 60 days. Take a before and after, then continue use/maintenance. I have been using it for about 20 years. I am over 50+, yes I go in the sun, no deep wrinkles, crows feet, none of that. Please note: I do not smoke so smokers may get a different result.

Don't have it anymore. But I think it had a lot of vitamin E or D in it. I tried it for almost 2 months. I didn't find it helpful in my case.

That I am not sure of, but i have heard that besides helping with joint pain it is also helpful in preventing dementia! Really haven't heard about preventing or eliminating dark spots.

I got this product for my mom. Where as I myself use regenerist serum. In my opinion these aren't the quick fix kind. But definitely helps in improving skin tone, texture and elasticity if you use it religiously. By the end of first bottle I could feel noticeable difference the way my skin felt, very smooth. I would think that this anti aging one is suppose to help you better with fine lines and all. I hope this info helps.

Hi M Darius,It seems like one of our happy customers has already replied.To add to this our anti aging serum helps with results all over your face to reduce wrinkles, fine lines and to simply bring back a younger 'you'. This also including the area above the lips. If you want to target this area in particular I would suggest when you apply our serum you rub a little bit of the serum on that area specifically also. I hope this helps some more.Dominik,Co-Founder of Natures Tools

Thank you so much for writing in with such a wonderful question. Vitamin C promotes the production of collagen and collagen helps diminish signs of fine lines and wrinkles. Bring on the maverick moisturizer, HA. and the powerful duo will enhance greater collagen production, plumping up and smoothing out the skin. Our Vitamin C Serum has an amazing 11% HA. Also 80% of wrinkles is believed to come from the harmful uv rays, and Vitamin C Serum will protect against future exposure and heal past damage. -Lydia Ann La Beaute Pure

I have been taking the product for 3 months. Have not seen the fuller cheeks yet. I primarily purchased the product to help a pulled ligament behind my knee. With most supplements you must continue taking them over a period of months before you see the effects. I would like to see improvement on my face as well. I plan on continuing this product.

Good for you looking deeper, & yes, there are healthier alternative Pycnogenol/Pine Bark brands inc Healthy Origins, Life Extension, Nature's Plus, or Nature's Way; and Grapeseed extract a cheaper form of the active ingredient though I don't know which, if either, is more effective.

It is certainly easier. Not sure that it is as efficacious. Only time will tell. My gums are not in a very good state, so I have started off behind the eight ball in regards to healing them. So far, after using the powder for 2 weeks, I cannot see any difference in them. I am also using vitamins, oil pulling with wild oregano oil, spearmint and golden seal to swish with.

This is a good one. Also like MT brand. I don't buy the cheap ones, like below $20 simply b/c I don't want to take a chance on problems. How I clean mine: soak your roller w a denture tablet after use, in a plastic cup so you don't damage the needles;let air dry a couple days; cover it when completely dry, then 30 min in 70% alcohol before you use it the next time. Follow their directions for cleaning, but this is how I do it based on research on derma rollers. I derma roll regularly and it makes a difference, skin texture is finer, pores get smaller, acne pits smoothing out, crepe texture less, my skin is getting thicker. It is very slow, but hey in a year, if I didn't do something my skin would look a year older. This way, it is getting better. Good luck to you! BTW 1mm is a good safe length, follow directions. It shouldn't hurt, shouldn't bleed. It feels prickly. If it hurts or bleeds, you are pressing too hard. If your skin doesn't get red, you aren't pressing hard enough. Be careful around your eyes. I test to see if I am indeed breaking the skin by dabbing a little alcohol on a spot. If it stings you are doing it right. Do at night so redness will be gone by the time you get up. Also the little micro holes you are making are perfect for putting on collagen inducing products like vitamin C and something with retinol. I only use 2 products, and they make a huge difference. Your skin will soak up the C fast, straight to the dermis, which is where collagen is produced. Collagen means tightening. After 15 months of rolling you'll have a whole new network of collagen under your face!!! and we know what that's gonna do lol!! tighten up all those sags & lines!!! :)))) Don't roll over fever blisters (you'll spread them) and don't roll over moles, etc.

The box says extracts of: Babhul, Jambhul, Lavang, Manjishtha, Dalchini, Bor, Vajradanti, Acrod, Khair, Patang, Bakul, Jeshthamadh, Davab-Chini, Anant Mul, Maifal, Trifala, Ajwan and Excipients. Probably not much help...but I have noticed a significant improvement in my daughter's teeth.

I would disagree, at least from the research I have read (I am a RN as well). The 1.0 is appropriate for facial tissue. This size reaches down to the layer of skin that when "injured" will stimulate collagen production. Collagen production has a 28-day cycle and if you "re-injure" the dermis during that 28 day period the collagen production cycle will be interrupted. If you are using the derma-roller for collagen production then you do not want to roll any more often than every 29-30 days or you will not truly develop the collagen. Your dermis will remain in an inflamed state so it "looks like" there has been effect on wrinkles, however, it is only the effects of inflammation you see. Your body will not develop collagen any faster than 28 days. If I recall, even the 0.5mm reaches the level to stimulate collagen production so the 1.0 is not any more harsh for the face. If you go larger than a 1.0 for the face it would be to treat more sever conditions and pitting. the .25 and .3 do not "injure" the dermis therefore using these do not stimulate collagen production. For that reason, the smaller sizes can be used even daily to significantly increase the absorption of any products you apply afterward. And if used in that way make sure your products are all natural without chemicals, dyes, fragrances. Hope that helps.

All pine trees are not created equal. I've tried several and Natures Purest Extract was the best for tightening facial skin. I suppose it depends on the purpose you're seeking.
