DMAE Cream Commercial Brands

DMAE cream commercial brands such as Source Naturals DMAE Skin Eternal™ Cream, have been found by recent placebo controlled studies to help reduce wrinkles and fine lines, improve lip shape and fullness, and the appearance of aging skin in general.

This study used DMAE cream with a 3% concentration of DMAE. DMAE stands for 2-dimethylaminoethanol. It is involved in the synthesis of acetylcholine, which is a neurotransmitter.

DMAE has been used as a supplement to help reduce the effects of aging on memory and mental ability. But its effect on the skin is also now being explored, and "growing evidence points to acetylcholine as a ubiquitous cytokine-like molecule that regulates basic cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, locomotion, and secretion in a paracrine and autocrine fashion." (Source: http://www.raysahelian.com/dmae.html) It is this that is believed to be associated with DMAE's anti aging effect on the skin.

Another study found that DMAE cream commercial brands increased skin firmness.

Source Naturals DMAE commercial brand also contains alpha lipoic acid and vitamin c ester, as well as msm and glycolic acid to really target the effects of aging.
