Came across something interesting:   Short version: A company is claiming to have identified the cause of acne as sebum viscosity. When we reach puberty, hormone production increases, and steroi...

I didn't have time to read the entire description, but this is very interesting. Any idea what happened with that patent request?

I've been taking this stress-b complex   Vitamin C: 500 mg Vitamin E: 30 IU Thiamin: 10 mg Riboflavin: 10 mg Niacin (niacinamide): 100 mg B6: 5 mg Folic Acid: 400 mcg B12: 12 mcg Biotin: 45 mcg ...

Is this a bad idea to take if you have normal/not oily skin? I'm worried about all the accounts of dry skin/dry eyes/hair loss. I don't want to take something for the short term that will damage me pe...

I noticed this too. The first couple nights of using it, I always remembered my dreams the next morning. Then I started taking my supplement after breakfast and I don't think it's been happening anymo...

Why would you use a dirty washcloth on your face?...

I don't think red wine actually contains enough resveratrol to have a significant effect on your skin. Resveratrol is probably more effective as a supplement or applied topically...
