As well, I take DMAE internally and have a topical DMAE serum which I apply - it seems to help. I think it's an antioxidant, but not sure.

A while back I had some thingey where they put a mini electric thingey on your face that seemed to spread little dust particles. (Diamond microdermabrasion?) It cost $150 and didn't seem to do anything. I just looked up "IPL facial" and it seems to be pretty major (6 treatments?) Here is a before and after photo I found:

I'm hesitant to try the Philosophy type products because I prefer the more hard core stuff at the dermatologists, but Fringey - do you swear by that stuff before I plunk down $85?
DTB: glycolic acid? Damn, I've been addicted to that shit since college. It always annoyed me that you had to pay $75 (this was in college) to get 1/2 teaspoon of the stuff on your face, only to rinse it off after 20 seconds. So....I went direct to the manufacturer and pretended I was manufacturing household cleaning products (thanks to the Internets I found out it was used in those products too). My cover was blown when I requested a gallon of the shit (that is 10 lifetimes of peels, but too little for cleaning products). Anyhow, the strongest stuff you can buy is

Okay I guess I'll get the DMAE stuff too. RT- are bcp's really good for the skin? I can't take them though. I get all weepy.
