they already are- Nivea is actually quite late on the scene for skin care with creatine in it. There's a few brands in the US that have been marketing creatine-containing skin care since 2005. Creatine supplementation has been shown to moderately improve skin condition and can theoretically slow-down the aging process by interrupting mitochondrial induced cell-degeneration and increasing ATP synthesis (i.e. it stops the natural course of cell degeneration over time). But they're only tentative links and studies are pretty sparse, and that's with oral and not topical creatine application.

But meh, get a pretty model with gorgeous skin to say it works and I'm quite sure it'll fly off the shelves. Just like with the collagen creams that do little or nothing, but have fancy names and are "scientifically proven " (to do feic all) it's a very clever marketing ploy (heaven forbid drinking lots of water, not smoking, getting lots of sleep and eating a healthy diet would ever catch on... :rolleyes: ). I can see it now- Mothers across the coutnry will be robbing their sons (and possibly daughters' ) creatine straight out of the gym bags in the promise of eternal youth. Don't let Tony Ward hear about it or there'll be a national scare that the nations' Mammies are one step away from being steroid abusers

This is sarcasm right, I am really bad at picking up on sarcasm in written form when there is no tone to go with it

No my mate was on the SCT with 'rock. He could of played for Leinster next year if it wasn't for the creatine.

If God didn't want us injecting things into our eyes then he wouldn't have given us two.
