LaseResults Calm and Restore cream: How can I find a cheaper version?
Sugarcaned says…I fell in love with LaseResults® Calm & Restore Serum during a testing from a magazine that I participated in. I would love to find out what is in it that works so well to soothe my face and make it look absolutely amazing and feel baby soft. (Hopefully in a lower-priced product) I have extremely sensitive, combination skin with acne scars. I’m under 30.
The Beauty Brains respond:
Sure, go ahead and rub it in that you’re under 30. *Sigh* But just to be nice we’ll answer your question anyway!
What makes LaseResults work so well?

Is Clinique Even Better Eyes any better?
Madeleinmia asks…I recently heard about Clinique’s new Even Better Eyes Dark Circle Corrector. They claim that it “strengthens” the skin to make it less transparent and that it reduces dark circles by up to 30%. Being a dark circle sufferer all my life I really want to believe that it actually works, but I have a feeling that you are going to tell me it’s all just clever marketing BS.
The Beauty Brains respond:
Let’s take a look at what Clinique says about this product and compare that to the benefits provided by its ingredients.
What does Clinique really claim?
Here’s a summary of the...

Can drinking green tea or coffee cut stroke risk?
Probably not.
A recent study from Japan was much hyped in the media earlier this week but as NHS Choices points out, the researchers themselves offered a number of limitations to their study:
The information on illness, green tea and coffee consumption was all self-reported, which introduces the possibility of error. For example, although food frequency questionnaires are an accepted way to assess food intake, there may still be errors in people’s estimations of their consumption.
People’s consumption of green tea and coffee was only measured once, so any changes in consumption over the years was not taken into account...

Green Tea Molecules Interfere With Formation of Plaques That May Cause Alzheimer’s
For the second time in less than a month I’ve found myself drawn to reports on the efficacy of green tea extract as a possible prevention or treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. In February, I wrote about a study conducted in the UK using purified extracts from green tea and red wine in early animal studies to interrupt the pathway that may lead to Alzheimer’s disease. The result of this study was published in the Journal of... (Source: Carol Bradley Bursack's SharePosts)

Does the Oil in Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Shampoo Do Anything?
Miss Monet must know…I was looking for a good conditioning and found Garnier Triple Nutrition shampoo. Why is oil is put in shampoo when its going to go down the drain because sulfates get rid of dirt and oil?
The Beauty Brains respond:
Garnier’s Fructis line (made my L’Oreal) was originally based on fruit acids. Over time they’ve expanded their product line to include new products like this Triple Nutrition shampoo. According to their website it’s based on “Fortified Fruit Science” which consists of “3 Nutritive Fruit Weightless Oils” Olive, Avocado and Shea.

Red Wine and Green Tea Extracts Interrupt Alzheimer's
Alzheimer's Reading Room
Natural chemicals found in green tea and red wine may disrupt a key step of the Alzheimer's disease pathway, according to new research from the University of Leeds.
In early-stage laboratory experiments, the researchers identified the process which allows harmful clumps of protein to latch on to brain cells, causing them to die. They were able to interrupt this pathway using the purified extracts of EGCG from green tea and resveratrol from red wine.
The findings, published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, offer potential new targets for developing drugs to treat Alzheimer's disease.

Nuvosa Skin Care: In the Beauty Brains Bathroom
Can I tell you how sick and tired I am of hearing anti-aging claims from companies that don’t provide ANY data to back up what they say?
That’s why it was so refreshing to find that the samples of Nuvosa skin care that I received were accompanied by actual test data showing how well their products work. If you aren’t familiar with Nuvosa, they offer a Deep Wrinkle Remedy, a Reborn Moisturizer and a Flawless Toner. You can learn more here at Nuvosa.com.

Hydroxatone Luminique Facial Brightener: in the Beauty Brains Bathroom
Skin lightening products are always controversial because it’s so hard to say if they really work or not. It takes months of usage to see if there truly is any change in skin pigmentation. So all we can really go by is the science of the ingredients that the products use.
In the case of Luminuque, that science is an ingredient called Diacetyl Boldine, an extract from the Chilean Boldo tree. You don’t see this used in very many skin lighteners and I could find no data published in peer-reviewed journals to show how it works. However, there does appear to be at least one, small study conducted by the manufacturer...
