I just bought a Vitamin-C serum for $6.99 and it had a bunch of 5 star reviews, a bunch of 4 star reviews, and the only negatives were that it was drying and strong.
I figured for $6.99?
Paula's Choice is over $30.00 I think.
Hyaluronic Acid alone is another $19.00.
I also found one for $3.99 from the same company.
I read the ingredients, cruelty free (that's important) and VC was 2nd ingredient in the serum and the HA was the 3rd ingredient in the HA serum, and everything else was botanicals.
They were Korean products, and free shipping.
I've been dry brushing and WOW what an incredibly difference in my skin in just a few days. Remarkable.

I don't take it internally, I'm applying it under my eyes.
My oncologists (I have 3 of them) never told me to avoid it.
Can you explain why? This has me curious since almost all skin care products seem to have it in them now.

There have been studies, especially linked to breast cancer.
Is hyaluronic acid linked to cancer?
Brief Summary: This research trial studies the role of a substance called hyaluronic acid in causing the growth of cancer stem cells in the bones of patients with breast cancer. Cancer stem cells are a type of cancer cells that may cause the cancer to spread to other parts of the body.Jan 6, 2015 -

I'll ask my doctor before using it. Thank you.
It seems like everything is linked to cancer. Hell, they pulled my antacid off the shelves and talcum powder.
Now various hand sanitizers are being pulled as well.

Just what it sounds like. You take a dry brush, it's really important you do not wet the brush or your skin, and you brush your body. The idea is to brush towards the heart, but I brush first in circles to increase circulation, then brush upwards towards the heart. Start at the feet, then the shins, then the thighs. Belly, butt, back (as much as you can), and arms. When it comes to your breasts, chest and face be very gentle, use a softer brush, but enough to still stimulate and make your skin pink.
By the time you finish rubbing, your skin will be pink and flushed and there will be dead skin read to be exfoliated off your body. Then you hop in the shower and GENTLY use a gentle body soap, not a scrub, but still use either the same brush, but lightly, or a softer brush, and rub in soft circles with foamy soap or gel.
My skin has never looked so healthy and smooth.
I also have the "brush" with the rubber nubs to rub in circles around my hips and butt. The goal is ultimately to break up subcutaneous body fat making it easier to flush away, just like with massage, and it's important to drink LOTS of water, take a warm shower and brush the dead skin away.
Your skin gets unbelievably soft to the touch and glows. Amazing.

It's been around for ages, used a lot in Asia. The first person who suggested I do dry brushing was one of the acupuncturists I went to, but that was many, many years ago.
I recently started doing it again, for my body and my face, and it's incredibly how soft it's made my skin, and it glows, bright.
