This a ridiculous post masquerading as something that appears rational. Also, please name me said promising products.
A veteran vascular surgeon created a lotion which he sold to an Italian pharmaceutical company who have verified that they are indeed trialing such a lotion and as I recall, it even confirms this on the patent. Obviously, you are not going to see pictures (which would be declared "fake" by most users here) before the trials are over and why would a company who already sells working osteoarthritis creams, skin irritation foam and vaginal hydrating gels suddenly be like "f*** it, let's put a phony product in our lineup!"? That would not be good for business. Also, the doctor isn't even going around promoting this stuff; no company or individual behind the lotion is trying to get anyone hyped about buying it. If it doesn't work, they will surely scrap it.
No kidding that the group buy was a scam. No sane individual thought it would be legit and what does that even have to do with anything?
You appear to wanting reality to be different than it is. You're using a lack of pictures from an ongoing trial and a group-buy scam while ignoring that this thing really exists and is being trialed by a legitimate company. This is akin to saying a new skin cream Neutrogena is developing must be a bust because you haven't seen the pictures from their unfinished trials. The reality is that you can't say with any certainty how well it will work any more than anyone can be sure it will.
