Bioengineering at its finest

This material is bioengineering at its finest, albeit expensive. I am male and have been using this product for about 2 months. The first thing you should know about it is that it definitely causes some change in the physical structure of your skin - almost like a thin layer of agar-agar just under the skin. Adding a surface. Hardness. You can feel the effect on the elasticity of the skin 2-3 weeks after the start when moving the facial muscles. Cosmetics aren't required to disclose their formulas, so I can only guess how bioreactor-derived collagen shows up, but it really "works". Algenic acid, which is part of the product, does not cause irritation. Second, incorporation of "microalgae pelletsโ€ (and phospholipid waste from the bioreactor?) changes your facial microbiome. In other words, you will initially notice a slight increase in the "ocean" smell in all deep oil reservoirs. Cyanobacteria appear to be at play here, but are short-lived in their own right: cyanobacteria cannot survive in human skin biomes. This is followed by an almost complete change in your own bacteria that may have caused your acne: 1.5 months from the start my acne was completely gone. This is the first time in my adult life that I haven't had a pimple in over a weekโ€”three weeks already! My regimen that includes this product is twice a day: morning shower with an alcohol based skin cleanser, a single squeeze of this product. Rub skin vigorously until completely dry and finish with a moisturizer (Cetaphil). Before bed, use the same alcohol-based cleanser, product amount and application, and moisturizer. Exfoliate once a week with an AHA-based product. In this mode, one bottle lasts a little over 1 month.
