It is difficult to get objective and useful advice in today's world about the effectiveness of various topical or oral skin products (oral or topical agents, supplements, anti-oxidants, cosmeceuticals) that are currently available to the public. Don't buy your products based purely on hype, advertising, and marketing gimmicks. The best hope for the public at this time to find reliable and objective information regarding the safety and efficacy of individual skin care products in general remains to ask Dermatologists for advice, because Dermatologists are more likely than most other professionals to be aware of the current complex evidence supporting the efficacy or safety of the more relevant skin products available on the market and why some products are thought or considered sometimes to be better then others. Some useful general information about the safety and efficacy of ingredients found in various skin care products can be found on websites like http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com, consumereports.org, drweil.com, or weekly columns like the "Cosmeceutical Critique" column available online at eskinandallergynews.com The recommendations of the EWG and the implications of their interesting investigation that can be found at http://www.cosmeticdatabase.com might lead to future epidemiological and clinical studies that one day might provide more relevant public information regarding the safety and efficacy of using certain skin products on humans.
