havnt used it myself. but there ya go... not too too expensive. might be worth the try?
Ingredients
Water (Aqua), Hydroxyethylcellulose(9004-62-0), Pueraria mirfica extract, Glucose, Xanthan Gum, Chondrus crispus, Polysorbate 20, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract, Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate (9003-59-2 / 9080-79-9 / 62744-35-8) Nicotinamide, Vitamin C, Glycosphere : Butylene Glycol (and) Water (and) Palmitoyl Hydroxypropyl Trimonium Amylopectin/Glycerin Crosspolymer (and) Ascorbic Acid (and) Lecithin, Farnesol, Linalool, Perfume: Baby Joice, Propylene Glycol
a lot of ingredients in that one.. xanthan gum is a thickener and Lecithin (most likely soy lecithin, is an emulsifier. Ascorbic acid helps absorb proteins the Propylene glycol , which is found in radiator fluid for your car as well as a lot of beauty products (mostly for hair) as well as in some processed foods. its is also hydrophilic (absorbs water). a lot of the rest, I do not know what it is or does. hope this helps a bit. witch hazel is used for tightening up the skin (found in hemmorhoid creams and wipes).
For your interest, the Purafem cream has the following ingredients: Pueriaria mirifica extract, Polysorbate 20, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch hazel) extract, nicotinamide hamamelis virginiana, sodium hyaluronate, centella asiastica extract, panax gingsenf root extract, butylene glycol, water, palmitoyl hydroxypropyl trimonium amylopectin/glycerin crosspolymer, phenoxyethanol, asorbic acid, hydrogenated leichtin.
So it looks like basically the same stuff. I should get that instead: the Purafem .5floz is 27$ and while that includes shipping, it's half the amount for almost the same price.
Thanks for the tip!
