Skin Care Review: Derma E DMAE Alpha Lipoic C-Ester Cream

Rating
Adverse Effects

Benefits
label: hydrates, firms, retexturizes, improves skin's elasticity.

Drawbacks
label: 1% Alpha lipoic acid may cause tingling. IMHO: bad fragrance.

Details
My skin is not "sensitive." Applied cream at night. Some stinging, which subsided after several minutes, so did not immed. remove the cream. 4 days later the constant burning, itching, pinching, dry tightness finally stopped. Cream did retexturize my skin: entire face and neck was inflamed, bumpy, and rough for 1 week. Petroleum jelly gave some relief from the dryness, but not the itching, redness or bumps. Tried the cream on 1 side of face, for 30 mins: same effect, plus itching spread to throat area.

Conclusions
Terrible. If applied cautionsly with a cotton swab: dries pimples in 3-4 days.
