Although the cause of psoriasis is not fully known — most experts consider it a disorder of the growth and reproduction of skin cells or an immune-mediated disorder — a new study in Journal Watch Dermatology (also mentioned in the February 2007 Allure) found that women who had gained 35 pounds or more since 18 had an 88 percent greater risk of psoriasis than for those whose weight was stable. The study followed 78626 women for 14 years. According to Arahti R. Setty, a researcher and doctor at Harvard Medical School, fat... read more

DMAE (also known as dimethyl MEA or dimethyl aminoethanol) is an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant ingredient that is included in a number of N.V. Perricone M.D. skincare products, including N.V. Perricone Solar Protection for Face SPF 26 ($48.00, Sephora.com). But how effective is this ingredient in fighting the signs of aging, including loss of firmness and wrinkles? So what is DMAE? According to “Dimethylaminoethanol: A New Ingredient for Aging Skin” in the Textbook of Cosmetic Dermatology (Baran and Maibach), DMAE is a simple... read more

Recently, a reader asked me to review Artistry ® Time Defiance ® skin care ($199.00, Quixtar.com). The company claims that the three-part skin care system is be able to “defy age beyond procedures.” If the claim sounds a little far-fetched, it is, for there is no way that the concentrations of active ingredients in this product could surpass that of dermatologist-administered peels, Botox, and other procedures. With that said, let’s evaluate the products! Artistry Time Defiance Cleansing Treatment The cleanser... read more

With an estimated seventeen million Americans suffering from acne, it’s no wonder that there is a plethora of acne medications and treatments. One of the latest is the Obagi Clenziderm M.D. Acne Therapeutic System, which contains 5% benzoyl peroxide in the second step. It claims to “clear, soothe, and protect your skin” in one convenient system. But is the system worth $105.00 (SkincareRx.com), with each of the three steps sold for $64.95 separately?

Whether intermittent redness or the persistent redness of rosacea, Clinique Redness Solutions Daily Relief Cream ($39.50, Clinique.com) promises to “instantly calm and soothe” and “relieve visible redness, blotchiness, and discomfort.” In fact, over two weeks, Clinique states that use of the soothing cleanser, followed by either the urgent relief cream or the Clinique Redness Solutions Daily Relief Cream, and then the Daily Protective Base SPF 15 should “better skin’s appearance and comfort”.
