Some of us out here in “Cyberspace” were not born yesterday and realize that Tretinoin (Retin-A), was available far earlier than this Glissandra goop. And not to mention the fact that Retin-A has been proven to reduce the signs of aging with decades of real science.
Robert,
Wow! It certainly doesn't take much to derail a debate on the science. The purpose of this debate is to discuss the science behind the ingredients. Glissandra contains Glissandrin™, a proprietary blend of Schisandrin A, B, C and (-)B, not "goop".
If you want to discuss the benefits of Tretinoin, that's great. We can post some of the science and side effects behind retinoids. There are no known side effects to Schisandrin B.

Retin A was developed more than 30 years ago as an acne treatment. It's actually a twisted form of the Vitamin A molecule. Dermatologists prescribe it not just for acne but for a wide variety of other skin concerns that respond to exfoliating agents and "keratolytics" (a product that removes a plug out of a hair follicle or sweat gland. Since then a wide range of prescription molecules have been developed as well as their cosmetic counterparts.

I still don't see what this has to do with our marketing term, Bioceutical.
