"Now featuring encapsulated melon leaf stem cells suspended in the formula for maximum potency and a duo of plant extracts, this technologically advanced formula visibly increases firmness and elasticity while it helps to protect skin from future environmental damage. Sea Daffodil Extract helps to even skin tone and enhance clarity by addressing the signs of age and sun-related pigmentation and orchid extract helps to increase moisturization." $98 for 1.7 fl oz.

Next time you want results, look on the back of the bottle and the price tag. While I did find nationally published studies regarding the Melon used in this formula, it is too new to really understand it. It did show signs of regenerative properties in many cases not necessarily in regards to skin studies. Many of the ingredients have low hazard scores while the extracts used are new with little or no actual studies on them. Is it doing what it says it does? You be the judge!
