One I'm really fond of is called sirolimus. Some of you might have heard of Rapamycin is the same drug. There's a drug that's being tested for slowing down aging in humans as a pill, something that I take. It appears to slow down aging of every animal and creature. And plant it's been tested on is being tested in humans currently, but it has been tested pretty extensively on the skin, and it does slow down, even to some degree. Reverse the age of the skin increases the collagen content of the skin. Skin increases the thickness of the skin, reduce pore size, improve texture and color of the skin. Cerulemus is not to be used with a laser. It does impair healing. If you have a laser injury, it's something you use two or three days a week. One bottle will last about three months or so. And that comes from a pharmacy. It's got to be prescribed.
