This is a great product. I add a tiny bit (5%) to my toners to prevent them from drying the skin. It works like a charm.

I just started making my own creams and lotions recently and added 5% of the Pseudocollagen to my first face cream. I must report that my skin is looking good (people say it looks firmer) and it seems like some wrinkles are smoothing out after just a few weeks. I am now testing the cream on my brother and sister-in-law to see how different skin types respond. Thanks to NDA for offering quality raw ingredients for great prices.

I'm trying this in an eye cream, applying the pseudocollagen eye cream on one side of the face and a $1xx eye cream on the other side. After 2 weeks the expensive eye cream side sees no change but the pseudocollagen side seem to have slightly reduced fine lines!

Softness and moisturizing that lasts is a blessing in disquise. This product certainly works, and is a great additive. It will be even more interesting to see how it performs over a longer period of time with daily use.
The product arrived with great clarity and clearness as described by the MSDS.
