If any of you haven't seen or heard about topical DMAE, it's what is called "face-lift in a jar". Basically, it fills and swells fibroblasts, creating a firmer, more lifted look. However, a study showed that it has a 25% fibroblast mortality rate within 24 hours of application.

At the same time, it is argued that this killing of fibroblasts is similar to Retin-A, i.e. long-term, it proves to be a skin-saver. One study shows improvement in facial firmness after 8 weeks of use.

I have yet to hear from long-term DMAE users what their experience has been. Does anyone here have any personal experience of long-term topical DMAE use? Dr. Perricone is the one who has pushed this ingredient the most in his products, in case any of you has used his line.
Cheers!
