Guest guest Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Has anyone tried wrinkle creams (wrinkle-erasing cream?) to get rid of bugs in the skin? According to a website I just looked at, alpha-hydroxy acids, tretinoin (the active ingredient in Retin-a), estrogen, vitamin C, etc. are used as active ingredients in anti-aging skin products. http://www.smartskincare.com/treatments/topical/ I'm wondering if using any of these chemicals on the skin regularly might kill the bugs, or create a hostile environment for them. If anyone has tried this, I'd like to hear about it. Thanks, myrtle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I use lactic, glycolic, vitamin C, retinol, Retin-a, many an AHA product by MD Forte, DermaDoctor, and (PTR), Roth. They have all helped but alone are not the answer. I don't believe in using estrogen delivering/promoting products due to the many exposures already to xenoestrogens. I should say it better, I try to minimize estrogen like ingredients, although with some choices I have made, it is rather difficult to find all the properties I want. I try to find balance, but hell, I could be just kidding myself. wrinkle creams Has anyone tried wrinkle creams (wrinkle-erasing cream?) to get rid ofbugs in the skin?

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Thanks for the reply Frito. It doesn't sound too promising. I thought maybe if I fried off the top layer of my skin, that would ruin their environment. myrtle > > I use lactic, glycolic, vitamin C, retinol, Retin-a, many an AHA product by MD Forte, DermaDoctor, and (PTR), Roth.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 I guess I would like to save you the trouble and money doing it. Believe me, I have tried frying it and I paid a heavy price. You wouldn't believe what I have put on these things........teehee.....I am finding out it is possible to keep the skin intact (mostly) and still kill them or get them out in cycles. I did find those lotions are great delivery vehichles of other things. Still not the cure alone though. And your very welcome.
