Collagen—the secret to a firm complexion—is said to increase 400 percent after 60 days of using Immupure. This age-defying formulation for men and women has hormone-free cow colostrum (the pre-milk females produce after giving birth) to thank for the line’s long-term rejuvenating effects. The collection of serums and creams are sold separately and also come in a travel kit.

Luxury Skin Creme: FACT or FICTION? by Matthew Stetson
So now that I have discussed how to feed your skin with food, vitamins, and minerals, let’s talk about my favorite thing: PRODUCTS! Many women (and men) have the illusion that the more expensive a product is, the better it works. Celebrities swear by cremes, peels, etc….so whats the truth about it? Skincare is about ingredients, not whether or not its associated with luxury, etc.
I can’t talk about skin nutrition without talking about one of my absolute favorite skincare products. I discovered IMMUPURE while working at one of the cosmetics counters at Henri Bendel, a high end department store on 5th avenue in NYC, and it is brilliant. This is one of the few products I have ever seen that gives you nearly INSTANT results. The key to its success is a product called colostrum, which is a protein produced during pregnancy, which is said to restore cell DNA and protect from free radicals. Also containing polypeptides, B complex, shea butter, and vitamins A, C, and E, this is a line that I can fully endorse even with the high price tag.

Immupure Uses Mothers’ Milk To Reduce The Signs Of Aging
by Kim PattersonMany new mothers, even those who do not intend to breastfeed for the long haul, do stick it out for the first few weeks just to make sure that their babies receive that first milk known as colostrum. This super-food is rich in antibodies and other nutrients to help protect and nourish the newborn baby. With all of its internal benefits I guess it should not come as any surprise that someone has come up with the idea of using it on our skin.
Immupure is an anti-aging product that contains, among other things, colostrum obtained from cows that are nursing new baby calves. The product is meant to be used twice a day and is said to have extraordinary benefits to the skin including reducing fine lines, tightening skin, boosting collagen up to 400 percent, gently exfoliating, reducing sun damage and scars, improving elasticity and perking up skin tone.
The cows used for the colostrum are reportedly steroid-free and, don’t worry, they get to feed their calves before providing the essential ingredient for the product.

Baby your skin with one of nature’s most nourishing gifts
Posted Friday, May 21, 2010If you’ve ever given birth to child, you’re probably familiar with colostrum. Rich in antibodies, this pre-milk substance serves as the perfect nourishment for newborns, whether those newborns human, canine, bovine, or any other mammal. But during those first couple of days of feeding, it probably doesn’t occur to most mothers to put the colostrum on their skin.
It may sound strange, but a brand called immupure has taken this unusual idea and turned it into advanced skincare. Colostrum derived from steroid-free cows just after nourishing their calves is the key ingredient in all of their products, including the especially impressive Daily Eye Face Neck Firming Moisturizer.
The multiple nutrients in the cream’s colostrum—amino acids, B vitamins, minerals, and polypeptides—are ideal for multiple areas of the skin, eliminating the need to moisturize your face, neck and eye area with separate products. The star component is surrounded and supported by botanical extracts that further the cream’s anti-aging mission.
Almost immediately, skin looks and feels firmer as the moisturizer intensively stimulates collagen and elastin. As damage and irritation become corrected with each use, lines, wrinkles and puffiness appear less and less obvious.
The internal advantages of colostrum are over in just a few days, but there’s no limit to how long our skin can reap its benefits, as proven by this amazing moisturizer and its counterparts.

In the quest to create more effective (or merely more expensive) skin-care lines, the list of esoteric ingredients grows ever more rarefied. White lotus, grapeseed oil, rice, copper and algae are just a few of the substances that have been touted as beneficial to the luminosity and firmness of one’s skin. Although it is hard to be fazed by the cosmeceutical wonders of any one new thing, every once in a while something stops the leery but eternally hopeful beauty-product consumer in her tracks.
Such was the case when I happened into Henri Bendel the other day, and a tan, taut-faced man who bore a slight resemblance to Valentino stroked a dab of moisturizer onto my hand. he said. Compare that hand with the other. And, indeed, the treated hand appeared to be smoother, less red, altogether more like the kind of hand you’d be proud to proffer in greeting. It was at that moment that the product’s German creator, Detlef Fuhrmann, stepped forward to explain that the transformative ingredient in his antiaging line Immupure was nothing less than colostrum, the first breast milk that protects newborns from infection.
I suddenly had a vision of nursing mothers working on an assembly line, producing milk only for it to be whisked away by Herr Fuhrmann, who assured me that the colostrum came from cows. Since I was a child of humans and one who had not been breast-fed, could it be as useful to me as to my bovine cousins? The products promised not only to exfoliate, reduce wrinkles and revitalize my skin but also to to repair it! Could that be?
As the days pass, and I dutifully cleanse and moisturize, I imagine I can see the years falling away, leaving me in the cosmetic equivalent of swaddling clothes, time’s erosion undone and me glowing like a baby.
