Dermatocare started as skin care blog concentrated around Dermatology; however with research we realised that there is lot more than allopathy when it come to skin care. One such proof is this blog. Our research about honey coincidentally clashed with analysis of reputed anti-wrinkle cream; to our surprise honey scored higher. The details are tabulated below:

Moisturizer

Glycerine and water
Vitamins
Six (riboflavin, niacin, pantathonic acid, vitamin B6, folate, vitamin C)
Four (tocopherol, niacin, vitamin C, pantathonic acid)
Anti-oxidants
Multiple (Chrysin, pinobanksin, catalase, pinocembrin)
One (green tea)
