vitamin 3 cream

cloud vitamin cream is my wife and i--we're a small company, and we have this philosophy: we're going to identify those molecules that are key in maintaining the health of the skin, by looking at the composition of skin, identifying the active molecule, putting them in a cream and treating people. as a physician, my particular interest in molecules like retinyl palmitate is, that it is a unique sunscreen--that is, it filters the sun. so we know, that 7% of light that we cover with a sunscreen no longer is enough. what retinyl palmitate does is it protects you against all 3 forms of light. therefore, i use it 4 or 5 times a day in my cancer patients.

i use it primarily as a cancer preventing agent, now cosmetically, the other folks, love it. the reason why they love it is, retinyl palmitate, that naturally ocurring vitamin a molecule in the skin is first, completely non-irritating because it comes from skin. second, as it enters the deeper layer of skin, that is, it enters the dermis, it's converted to retinol. retinol is, hottest cosmetic molecule in the world. reason why is, when you use it, within days, skin becomes naturally smooth and healthy. by 4 months, brown spots start to go away and stay away. by 6 months, we start to see collagen growth, so these molecules literally grow collagen on your skin.

this is an exciting area of new medical research. all of a sudden we're finding out the importance of this vitamin in restructuring skin. so people that have established common skin diseases- eczema responds well, both as a preventative agent, and as a treatment agent. cortisone free. if you look at acne, acne-rosacea particularly, patients who have acne-rosacea say, "i have crazy skin." they love niacinamide, because it fixes that portion of their illness, which is related to the moisture-barrier. psoriasis, particularly old folks with dry skin respond beautifully to niacinamide. as we get older, we don't make as much of that glue, so niacinamide stimulates it.

there's two areas that are really exciting. the max was published 4 weeks ago, published in new york times, an article describing niacinamide's ability to prevent skin cancer. so let's sit back and look--5 million people a year have skin cancer that-- every year, in the us, requires surgery. this report says, if we all use topical niacinamide or oral niacinamide, we can reduce that number of surgeries by a million and a half. so here is a simple vitamin treatment--cancer prevention. the other area, where this is very exciting, is in cosmetics.

so we know that the cause of premature aging is long-term sun exposure. we've mentioned that retinyl palmitate is a valuable agent in treating premature aging. here's the next one: vitamin b3. so repairing that membrane actually becomes very important cosmetically, so again, skin feels super smooth and healthy within a week or two. these are the patients who are standing in my office who say, "this is the best stuff i've ever seen." you see reduction in the irregularity of the pigmentation that's so typical of aging by 3 or 4 months, 6 months--again, you're seeing evidence of collagen regrowth. so--cosmetic agent, and medical agent.

when you apply vitamin d3, you're duplicating nature. the way that you and i make vitamin d3 exclusively is our skin, and sun exposure. cloud vitamin d3 cream is that end vitamin--the vitamin that you're trying to make, and you're applying it to skin. where we see it as being very useful-- we're recognizing this epidemic of vitamin d deficiency. kids, people who live in polluted areas, people who live north of the 33rd parallel, in other words, north of los angeles in wintertime aren't making vitamin d. folks, who by choice or by style, choose to stay out of the sun need to have a source of vitamin d. so in the minds of the guys who are cloud vitamin cream, it makes sense to apply it--

we give you a daily amount that is the amount that's required to maintain healthy vitamin d levels, put it in a cream, wear it everyday. my wife, who is a highly capable and dedicated mom, reminds me: kids hate taking vitamin d. they don't hate putting creams on their skin. so nice and simple. kids had a bath, finished, drop of vitamin d cream, sun exposed areas--boom, done. recent evidence says, patients with psoriasis are deficient in vitamin d. so what we do--put everybody on vitamin d and see a year later, a third of them are still on it. minimum brain dysfunction in the elderly--what's that? that's a guy like me who has "senior's moments."

vitamin d does beautifully--here's a natural source of vitamin d. you can apply it to your skin, so folks who can't go outside natural source of vitamin d--apply it to your skin, it's what nature taught us to do all we're doing at cloud vitamin cream is, duplicating what nature says to do. commonest cosmetic problem among women who have type iii to vi skin--that is, don't burn easily, tan well to people that tan very well and never burn: the commonest problem they have is pigmentation on the face. so it shows up as brown patches; it's so common that we have a name for it--we call is the mask of pregnancy. one of the situations that occurs normally, is in pregnancy.

but the truth is, this is a problem of 20 to 40% of women. typically, early menopause, during menopause, developing persistent brown patches. we've had traditional treatments--we've used hydroquinone, which is increasingly being attacked as being an unsafe molecule. we use topical cortisones and we use topical vitamin a. two years ago, a study published says, "topical silymarin really works." silymarin is milk thistle. so that weed that you see growing on the side of the road. milk thistle, the extract from milk thistle is called silymarin, and where we use silymarin and where we find success with it is, in the treatment of brown patches on the face.

applying silymarin twice a day to this pigmented skin, within months you start to see that color lighten and lighten and lighten. now to give you a little bit of background, this is one research article that was published 3 years ago. we're very excited about using silymarin. realistically, i live in victoria. i don't see a huge number of patients with pigmented skin. so this is a treatment, that we want available to people who are interested in treating hyperpigmentation. we distinctly want feedback. there's a massive need for new treatments for pigmentation in the world. we hope this is the answer. this is the secret. first, when you apply it, wet skin.

i'm going to give you an example of what i do every morning in the shower. i finish my shower, and i'm standing there, wet. i take one pump of cream, and i put it on a palm, i then rub my palm. this palm is my face, so i apply it to my face, and particularly eyelids, lips and ears. you say, "you're going to put that on your eyelids?" these are naturally occurring vitamin molecules. your body does not get irritated by these molecules. you can directly put it on your eyelids and lips. then i rub my hands--neck and v, neck and v, back of the hand and shoulder--same drop. now the fun part: you want to know, does it really work in treating my eczema?

does it help me prevent eczema? so here's what you do. when you apply it to wet skin, apply it to the affected areas on one side.

now you're going to find out a week or two later, i've been treating this arm every day, and i haven't been using it on this arm. that's what's going to teach you whether or not this is a profoundly good molecule for you.
