Methylene blue's powerful effects on aging skin | w/ Bluelene founder

I was bold to try methylene blue for hair toner that worked great to take brassy like orange out of Hair then got bolder to add from drops to squirts from dropper in shampoo/conditioner to make beautiful blue highlights that gets compliments all the time. I add one drop with night time care products and notice improvement of thickness and hydration and also balance of tone in my face!

Clare, you asked an excellent question about penetration of methylene blue into the dermis and I would be interested in hearing a more complete answer. I took a look at the Nature paper. They did not do a penetration test. Without data indicating that methylene blue reaches fibroblasts in the dermis, it is unreasonable to expect direct effects on fibroblast senescence, regeneration or direct inducement of collagen and elastin production by fibroblasts. As a result, much of the paper's data showing improvement in skin structure are only theoretical. If the compound can't get to the cells, it's not really fair to expect it to work. I look forward to hearing a more complete answer from Dr. Cao about skin penetration.

I find its cheaper to buy Methylene Blue powder and mix it with my moisturizer. Costs 1/6th the price

Being published in Nature is a big deal in the research world! Kudos to you Dr Cao! Thank you for bringing this to the forefront.

Great discussion. I think you and ClaudiaGlows are the only two skincare channels I bother to keep up with these days - you both have a knack for getting to the heart of all these treatments. I have some reservations about the methodology of the paper, however I’ll be excited to see a clinical trial showing an improvement in skin ageing.

Just because we are told to use retinol does not make it right. Think about what we‘be been told- low fat, low sugar - now we know the truth. Oh, and we were told in the 50s that smoking was good. I’ll believe Dr. Cao.

Good to drink too. Mix 20 drops in warm water with quarter teaspoon of ascorbic acid. Amazing anti-ageing combo.

This is a fantastic interview. Oxybenzone actually disrupts hormones! They say 'it may' interfere with metabolism, thryoid function, and many other processes that are regulated by hormones. It has been detected not only in urine, but also in breastmilk, blood, and amniotic fluid! I for one refuse to take any chances with - "it may cause". 'It may' to me means it does, they just don't want to hurt the bottom line. How many products have this ingredient? Especially when there are several other, including purely organic options available - we should not put our health in jeapordy. Thank you for this!

Thanks for another interesting and informative video Clare! I don't know if it's just a matter of makeup and lighting, but your skin is looking particularly lovely in this video! ✨️

Thanks for interviewing this brilliant lady

Interesting. I got a urinary tract infection 2 years ago and the pharmacist gave me a medication that contained 4 active ingredients, the main one was an antibiotic and one of the supporting ingredients was methylene blue. She warned me that it would make my pee blue, which it did, but it worked. I had never heard of this ingredient before.

im hoping it can help these unfortunate children born with this awful disease...

Thank you Claire, I had never heard of it. Nice that you always find something new and also test it and delve into it before you put it on you tube.

Would love to see you do update videos on all these products - what is your daily routine based on trying all these brands?

I have just watched à video of you that dates from 1 year ago and you actually look much better 1 year later! Impressive !!!!

Thank you for this video. Very informative. I love the information you provide…. You always look nice Claire, but your skin is glowing and looks better each time I watch. Very beautiful 💕

You are truly the BEST!!! Methylyne Blue ha been on my mind for sometime now & this is really something to try. Thank you sooooo much, Clare.

Very interesting, pertically the antioxidant aspect for happy cells..because ive actually have been taking glucosamine for overall anti aging benefits with good results, so i decided to research glutathione cream..although it's not marketed as an anti aging, but a skin lightening..i thought l'll test it anyway, I'm thrilled that i did bc i am seeing a difference in my skin! I have ordered the Bluelene as well and anxious to give it a go..thank you Claire😊 your channel is so valued with me..keep up the good work..we appreciate it immensely ❤

I was surprised & glad to find Macy’s is selling this!

Thanks for the interview, very interesting.
