" Fake Advertising " : Allergan Should Be Red in the Face for Using " Before & After " Images in Rhofade & Kybella Ads
Allergan is again resorting to side-by-side"before and after ” images in a drug ad to prove that Rhofade - its new drug for the treatment of redness of the face, aka rosacea - works. This is the same technique the company used to promote Kybella for double chin syndrome.In the Kybella case, I analyzed the figures and suspected foul play; i.e., the after image was just a retouched version of the before image. That ad, however, claimed they were “unretouched photos” (read"Kybella Double Chin TV Ad: Are the BEFORE& AFTER Photos REALLY Unretouched as Claimed?").Despite some anonymous commentator to m...

Why isn’t everyone exfoliating with AHAs?
Melissa says…I’ve been using an night cream with glycolic acid and I noticed that my skin is actually brighter, clearer, and softer. I’ve been using this product for years and I still love it but I worry that it may be too good to be true. Are there any risks associated with alpha hydroxy acid products? Why aren’t we are using them?
Thanks Melissa. Long time fans of the show will remember that I love getting questions about Alpha Hydroxy Acids because it gives me an excuse to retell the story of the marketing director for St. Ives didn’t quite get the ac...

Have I been deceived, too?
We’re back in Florence from our holiday in Austria (we got back last weekend, actually), and I’m trying to catch up with a million different things, including laundry…but a few days ago a big translation plopped into my lap. So my plan of sifting through my photos and posting about our trip has been postponed…until I get some of this big beastie translated, at least…
But I just read an article, a very negative article, about curcumin, one that I couldn’t ignore. It was published recently in the “Scientific American.” Curcumin is actually defined as a “deceptive spice...

Do you really need 3 kinds of conditioner? Episode 142
This study involved having 18 young adults evaluate the attractiveness and age of 8 female faces. The images varied in terms of natural aging features like lines and wrinkles.
While evaluating the images the subjects were exposed to different odors, one pleasant (rose oil) and one unpleasant (fish oil). Then the subjects rated the age of the face in the photo, the attractiveness and the pleasantness of the odor. The result was that odor pleasantness directly influenced rating of facial attractiveness suggesting that odor and visual cues independently influence judgements.
One downside to using pleasant odors is that visual...

Karen reversed aches, rashes, headaches, and weight with the Wheat Belly lifestyle
Karen shared her photos and health experience with the Wheat Belly lifestyle:
“My Wheat Belly story started in October of 2014. I was feeling aches and pains, especially to my lower back, knees and hips. I had always had skin issues, too, especially rosacea, in the past few years. Headaches, migraine, cluster or tension ones have plagued me my whole adult life. I just couldn’t imagine what I would feel like in 5 or 10 years.
“I have had weight issues my whole life. I tried to lose weight again and, over a six-month period, lost 15 lbs. Then, in September, 2014, I happened upon an episode of Dr. Oz’s show w...

“I am three weeks into being grain-free, low-carb, and high in good fats. My myasthenia gravis is in remission.
