After an initial skin biopsy, the retinol-containing milk on the skin of the upper arms a day for a period of six months. A final skin biopsy was taken and compared with the original. The test showed that there was a significant improvement in the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.According to Dr Mervyn Patterson, cosmetic dermatologist at Woodfood Medical. ?Once a product has been clinically tested and proven to be that effective, it?s classed as a pharmaceutical, not a beauty product.?
