Did I miss something? The other side looks more expensive. |

Which Frodo the AQ compared to the Dr. Nathans?
I see a lot of products from the Nathan site!
ETA: I see on the AQ site....TIA has AQ Skin Solutions Active Serum ($149.99 for 1oz) |

Ones is more expensive by alot, ones actually a bit less, if the Re Luma had not been on sale.
This shows other companies sites, showing their science on cytokines and why they think they are good and what results they are claiming. It gives choices to those wanting to try a product with this technology. Just more to choose from, since what works for one doesn't always work for another.
I believe someone is trying the AQ, from a different thread I read. So we'll get feedback at some point on that product. |

Wow thanks Havana, when I first searched, not long ago at all, the only ones that came up were ReLuma, lumenese (but this one was hard to find on searches), some off name (so it scared me) and one other that really was not stem cells!
This fields growing FASTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!! Got to love choice. Perhaps I'll search tomorrow and see what the prices for all are! |

Havana nailed it, we have seen most discussed on EDS at some point! |

I'd prefer the unbiased expert to be other users reviews. We need more people using different ones! |

I am voting with you on that Tiny, I have read enough biased expert posts to last me a lifetime, but hell that is just me.......no not from what I hear. Oh well. |

Here's another one:

Stemulance, Stemulation and AnteAge all use the same before and after photos. |

In choosing a product I would discard those that promise to lift sagging jowls or restore volume. However technologically promising, I don't think a topical can restore elasticity to the facial ligaments or shorten them, or restore subcutaneous facial fat.
Before/after pictures are very nice, but I would like to see histological evidence. Trials sound nice, but especially with such results you would expect them to be published somewhere to be reviewed by peers.
Skin repair adresses texture. N/L folds etc. are not caused by surface skin texture but deeper changes, which is why you'd need exercise or surgery to improve them. Fine lines and deeper wrinkles, yes that is texture, but contours are a different thing. I therefore distrust any before/afters that show improvement in these structures - either the picture has been doctored, or there has been some other kind of procedure done.
Just my 2 cts. |

| If you're looking for products with cytokines, I think that EDS lets you search by ingredients. DermStore might also allow ingredient searches. |

I'd like to see histology reports results instead of 'before and after' photos. Photos can so easily be deceiving with lighting, distance, angles, etc. but histology is irrefutable. Gimme test results from experiments done on human subjects, gimme double blind peer reviewed studies, gimme histology...and then I'll take notice of these topical stem cell and cytokine products.  But then again, I'm persnickety and not prone to throwing away hundreds of dollars on someting someone just claims works...I want proof. |

A good many of us are also waiting for some clinical trials which show concrete biological changes to the skin - but where are they? |

sorry to say: Don't hold your breath.
IMO all topical cytokine product manufacturers, through their current marketing promos and pitches, already believe that they have enough conclusive evidence/research results/individual customer feedback etc. that "proves" their product "works".
Enough people are buying the cell-tech products with those marketing promises, so cell-tech manufacturers can claim they've given you/me/us/the public sufficient clinical proof and so IMO manufactureres believe they have nOtHiNg ElSe to prove to anyone. |

Instead, I would posit that these manufacturers feel they have enough "proof" to convince consumers that their products are effective, which is a horse of a different color! |

LoopyLori posted punch tests she found long ago, perhaps this is what everyone is looking for:
http://www.essentialdayspa.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=45705
last page
this is pics of clinically measured results:
http://www.cellvitals.com/before-and-after
not sure this information works for all of these products, but there are studies, not sure why everyone keeps saying there are not. Def not pushing RL, its just what I could find as far as studies that have already been posted. |

I don't see histological evidence, or a research protocol, just a few pictures. I can't help but notice that the first lady looks very much like a lady in the 'study' that was on dr J,'s site (the one NanSam posted about).
If the stuff would really be very effective it would be used, I think, in post operative protocols for people with cancer, people with skin damaged from radiotherapy or burn victims. There is plenty of reason why serious medicine would be interested in effective skin remodeling agents. So far a lot of stuff we use has been tested for accelerated wound healing etc., so the pharmaceutical industry is interested and willing to fund research. When I consider this I find it increasingly surprising that we can't seem to find any serious study on the subject. |

I posted the link to loops links showing the histological evidence with protocols, as well as double blind studies, and wound healing roles, posted by pubmed.gov, as well as studies with punch tests, so here are the links she posted:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18569263
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17966179
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17373178
Maybe this is what your looking for.
to sum it up all 3 studies say it is effective for anti-aging. |

These above studies were all done by the manufacturer of a skincare product. That skincare product is now nearly defunct, so if it was as effective as these studies claim, it would be selling off the shelves. |

Scientists don't rely on photos, like these; instead they look at histology, which is missing from the available "evidence". I think that histology reports and actual lab results are missing is suspect. Photos are often made available to fool consumers. |
