Thassss a lot of money.

But let me know Meg how it goes. Since losing the weight, these 2 rather deep parenthesis lines, the ones that run from nose to lips, have appeared. I guess all the fat in my face was masking them. It's okay, I'll take them any day of the week over being morbidly obese, BUT if there's a way to get rid of them, without injections, I would be interested.

Hey for you, the price is right. Good luck.

Good luck! If it does work you're face is going to look odd until you do the "catch-up phase"

All I can tell you is that Roc cream at $28 per tiny tube and strivectin at about $125 didn't do much if anything for me.

If it does work, maybe she needs a bigger study group?

Good luck! It would be fantastic if this worked, wouldn't it? I've got my fingers crossed.

Robin, thanks for pulling this up and reminding me about it!

I bet you can guess the answer to -- "does it work?" Nope. At least it didn't work any better than the cocoa butter did. Both scars look better but the expensive side looks the same as the cheap side. I'm sure any good moisturizer would have the same effect.

Ah, the magic pill is still out there, waiting to be discovered! But this ain't it.

You know what they say....if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
