Hey Crazychemgirl is fire a living thing? It breathes, it consumes, and it reproduces...

I don’t think fire is alive … it does not possess the characteristics of life (as deemed by biologists)

Can you throw any chemistry to the BS claims by skin care companies? eg Hyaluronic Acid or even Triple Hyaluronic Acid! ( Three times as good then ) that claims to include plumping polysaccharides, pro-ceramides and super peptides?! Wow. I wouldn't let a bunch of media people near my skin TYVM

I think there has been some positive science regarding hyaluronic acid … but it’s definitely not the miraculous drug it’s sold as

Hot chocolate with Baileys

You mean it's a real thing?! I thought it was a complete invention. Hey - you're not being sponsored by Oreal?!

eta the emoji was ironic and for humorous purposes only. I should have included a winky

So you don't want to believe there's even science behind some claims? It's not the fault of science that some companies do exaggerated claims of an actual thing.

I could easily find a serious paper about the role of HA in skin (and elsewhere in body) and how it changes when aging.

I am a scientist and I'm all too aware of fringe and bogus science being claimed by snake oil salesman and politicians as the next best thing. You don't have to look far for fake covid cures to prove that.

I really hope you are not saying that there's never any actual science involved, if the marketing claims are wildly exaggerated.

Because that would be just as naive as to believe all the fake claims, just on the opposite side.
Even the snake oil was a real thing in history - the bad reputation became of fake products, but the real stuff existed too and was effective.

Your attitude, however, sounds like exactly that.

Well, you showing angry face and suspecting CCG of being sponsored just because she mildly mentioned "some positive science" was rather aggressive.
