<p>This new skincare product is all the rage in my neighborhood. I haven’t ordered yet, but I am tempted. Anyone have results to share?</p>
<p>Paula Begoun doesn’t like it.

Nerium oleander is a poisonous plant, although it may have been used in folk remedies.

Something that is toxic to take by mouth, you probably don’t want to rub on your skin.
I think I will stick with my retin a.</p>
<p>Interesting, the ads say it was being used by MD Anderson in a skin cancer treatment and the patients noticed the good side effects.</p>

<p>MD Anderson says on their blog
, they did not give Nerium the right to use their name.
Their employee is speaking as an individual and not as a spokesperson.

<p>The study I found by MD Anderson on oleander and cancer hasn’t concluded yet.</p>
<p>Oleander is incredibly poisonous. No way putting it on my skin. If it’s being used for cancer it would be to kill the fastest growing cells.</p>
<p>No need to alter the basal layer of my skin, the surface layer is what I’m concerned with.

<p>If it is such a great breakthrough why not work with dermatologists and spas rather than direct sales?</p>
<p>I never would buy anything through direct sales, they are like scientologists.</p>
<p>This whole thread needs to be deleted now that we’ve attracted a company shill. Personally, I stay away from any product being hawked via multi-level marketing. If there were some fabulous new discovery to eliminate wrinkles, one of the major cosmetic companies would have snapped it up in a second and the health and beauty sections of every newspaper and magazine would all over it. Note that the supposed before and after photos on the website are real eyerollers.</p>
