Creatine on the face

[Monarchking]

So I have been watching TV and they are putting creatine in face moisturiser now.

I don't plan on using any of these products but was wondering if anyone has any input on the subject.

Like will the skin absorb it at all? Or just a sales pitch to sell more shit.

I thought the body 'uploaded' it when there was an insulin spike, not from putting it on your skin lol.

Turn Back the Clock Adding creatine to facial cream can improve the firmness of skin by boosting collagen production, according to German researchers. Don’t want to add it yourself? Pick up a bottle of Nivea for Men Protective Lotion (niveaformenusa.com). It contains both creatine and SPF 15 to both reverse the signs of aging and prevent UV rays from doing more damage.

I think you'd get more out of smearing yourself in whey protein.

Actually 100% serious. There must be something useful in those whey fractions.

I assume you trade marked that before posting :doh:

I can't quite remember where I heard the story but there was a dude who retired from the 'science' side of the cosmetics industry and he revealed the not-very-secret secret that all moisturizers contain the same slightly functional ingredients and vary only in the proportions and the misc. fragrances and such. Similarly for toners and after shave lotions etc.

Kinda sounds like the supplements industry huh

When I first saw that ad I had a massive marketing-rage outburst. God I'm not even going to get started lol

More marketing junk. The cosmetics industry is just as bad if not worse than the supplement industry with their bullshit claims

I remember reading somewhere that Q10, found and marketed by most big chains for skin care has been proven it can't be absorbed through the skin
