Scientists hail the most 'advanced anti-ageing serum' in the world

Those who believe that beauty is only skin deep may need to think again. For the first time, scientists have gone right into our DNA to develop the most advanced anti-ageing serum ever created.

The new treatment, developed by one of Britain’s leading scientific innovators, is personally tailored to each individual and could revolutionise how women – and maybe even men – approach their daily skincare regime. It relies on a new microchip that allows the product’s creators to analyse a person’s genetic code within just 30 minutes. Through this, they can discover how fast their body degrades collagen – the structural protein that keeps the skin plump and supple – and their level of antioxidants, which protect against damaging free radicals.

Using this information, they develop a personalised anti-ageing cream to deliver the right amount of collagen and antioxidants to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Clinical trials over 18 months have already suggested that the product, named Geneu (pronounced 'gene you’), reduces fine lines and wrinkles by up to 30 per cent within just 12 weeks ...

No doubt that the real good stuff will cost hundreds per jar. But they will probably have some semi good stuff for a more reasonable price.

This will be proven to be a high priced scam that does not work several years down the road IMHO. Same as it ever was.

Which part: the money? Or the fact that you will have to keep taking this stuff? Or the fact that well, one gets too tempted To feel a bunch of hubris. Time is the one perfect predator out there, get used to that fact, don’t be like Gilgamesh, who wasted so much time, that he could have enjoyed, trying to live forever.

It won’t stop there.

The next step will be to have the microchip actually alter the DNA instead of just reading it, thus corrupting the Image in which we were made, and permanently separating the recipient from any hope of salvation.

I do not know, but highly suspect that THIS will be what the actual mark of the beast is.

“Anti-ageing serum”???

More lies in advertising. Sounds like a high tech face cream to me.

Delivering collagen as wrinkle filler has no connection with genetic researches.

So this discovery will keep you from overdosing on collagen and antioxidants. Sounds like a gimmick to me, unless there is more they are not saying.

Reminds me of an old movie I saw long, long, LONG ago, about a beautiful woman who never aged. She had a ring with which she would stab a young man in the neck as she kissed him, that would extract his essence and leave him shriveled and dead. She would then create a potion with it that would restore her youth and beauty, but after a while she would need to seduce a new victim. Great old b-movie, wish I knew the name of it.

Hmm I think you might have something there. Time will tell, but it’s certainly an intriguing idea.

” ...deliver the right amount
of collagen...”

Hoax. Collagen has to be stimulated to increase from inside the skin. Topically, it’s too big to be absorbed.

If it has water AND vitamin c, it’s also worthless. The vitamin c is often significantly degraded by the water by the time it gets to the customer.

I really hope you are joking because that is the dumbest thing I have heard in ages. Viruses alter our DNA all the time. Heck there is some evidence that women's DNA is altered by pregnancy. Does plastic surgery make us go to hell too? How about makeup? What if I get a limb amputated? That changes my image too. If I eat too many twinkies do I go to hell if I don't do weight watchers?
