What Exactly is DMAE and How Does It Work?

DMAE is a chemical naturally produced in the body by the metabolic process of procaine, though it can also be artificially produced in a lab.

DMAE is unique from choline, the chemical it most resembles, because it can cross the blood-brain barrier. Its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier means that it can easily enter the brain. Once DMAE reaches the brain, it is acted upon by an enzyme that converts it into choline.

Choline is a precursor to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Acetylcholine plays a part in the regulation of skeletal muscle movement as well as maintaining smooth muscle and cardiac muscle. In the central nervous system, acetylcholine is thought to aid learning and memory, and to help regulate mood.



Possible Benefits of DMAE

Because DMAE aids a neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, it is thought to have many possible benefits for the human body.

For example, it can help:

  • Prevent and help treat cardiovascular problems
  • Boost immune system
  • Treatment of depression
  • Increase energy
  • Help reduce the amount of sleep your body needs

Because DMAE helps to create acetylcholine, it can affect the brain in a myriad of ways, obviously. It is thought to help with ADHD, ADD, and mild depression because it acts within the neural pathway responsible for attention span and mood regulation. Though scientists are unsure as to how DMAE causes these positive effects, studies have shown that with long term use, DMAE can help alleviate behavioral and emotional issues.

DMAE’s many health benefits, such as prevention and treatment of cardiovascular problems, are due to its ability to block free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that either need to gain or lose an electron. They will steal an electron from a cell in the body in order to stabilize themselves. In the process of trying to stabilize, free radicals can cause damage to the body, including cardiovascular, immune, and skin problems.

Deactivation of free radicals occurs because DMAE stabilizes the membrane around the outside of cells by giving or receiving an electron, creating a sort of protective casing.

This ability to fend off free radicals comes in handy in a world overwrought with outside stressors like sun damage, industrial pollution, radiation, and cigarette smoke. All of these outside stressors are also known to cause damage to your skin.

How Face Firming DMAE Can Improve Your Skin

Because DMAE fights free radicals, it can benefit your skin.

Face firming DMAE can give your skin a more youthful appearance. It helps to increase elasticity and firmness because it helps to regulate skeletal muscle movement. It also helps to enhance smooth muscle function, making facial contours more defined. By increasing the amount of DMAE in your body, you can help to fight and reverse the signs of aging.

DMAE can also help prevent and reduce age spots. Age spots are caused by lipofucsin, a brown pigment in the skin that forms because of age, but also because of free radical damage. DMAE can block the formation of lipofucsin and therefore reduce the occurrence and appearance of age spots.

So how can you work DMAE into your skin care regimen? DMAE can be applied topically and internally.

Internally, DMAE supplements like Doctor Perricone DMAE can directly place DMAE in your body to work from the inside out.

Externally, moisturizers, creams, and face washes can help to boost the face firming DMAE in your skin. Topical treatments that contain both DMAE and alpha lipoic acid are especially potent because they combine the best of antioxidant technology into one cream. Perricone Advanced Face Firming Activator contains both alpha lipoic acid and DMAE to help reduce discoloration, fine lines, wrinkles, and puffiness.

  1. Have been using THE Dr. P. BLOCBUSTER kit for over a year now. Love my skin and always searching for even more help from Dr. P to get more and more radiance. Trying some organic DMAE internally and extenally to hopefully see the difference. Dr. P…. I am your face to beat the aging race. Xoxox from my skin!

  2. Would love to try your product–both internal and face cream.

  3. Very active 41 year old female tennis player and marathon runner. Had to have early total hysterectomy and notice signs of early aging since that time. Dry and sagging skin.
    I would live to try this!
    Thanks!

  4. I have freckles and my face is ruddy (Irish skin). I am at the age that I convinced myself that my freckles were running together; ….age spots!!!! I try to take care of my skin and keep out of the sun and for the most part, I’m good. I saw you on Dr. Oz and I wrote down what you said about DMAE. I would really appreciate it if I could test your product as well. Thank you.

  5. I use three DMAE capsules PO every evening. I have done so for quite a while. I was unaware you or other companies produced topical creams. I would love to be a tester.

  6. Take good care of my skin, but would like it to be better…I’m 47 and would love to be a tester

  7. I am 29 and have always had thin skin. I use vitamin C products but don’t see as much difference in my fine lines. I’d love to put this to the test, especially for my under eyes and marionette lines. Genetically thin skin can be a challenge.

  8. Have had good luck with DMAE liquid supplient and would like to try topical cream. I’m 56 and just now seeing wrinkles. Not pretty. Otherwise healthy and happy!

  9. I am 54 years old. I have Addison’s Disease so I have to take prednisone. If I go through any kind of stress from a catching a cold or having dental work to major surgery, I have to take more prednisone so I will not go into shock. I am seeing the negative affects prednisone is having on my skin. I am starting to look more like my grandmother at 80 particularly on my hands, arms and on my neck. I sure would love to see if this product will reverse the damage done by prednisone. If so, I would spread the word like wild fire! But if not, it still would be worth my time to try it out.

  10. I have just turned 50, I have pretty good complexion, but a sun damage has done it”s work also, I am looking for something to maintain my looks and help reduce wrinkles around my lips, There is so much out there, I have read about these products and am interested in giving it a try with out spending a fortune.

  11. DMAE twice a day, inside and out~! I’m a believer~! Now getting to “Forever Young” to change my diet. Slowly, but surely, I am becoming beautiful again =)
    THANK YOU~!

  12. I am a 63 year old woman but I look 48! No gray hair at all, no sagging neck. Still a toned size 4 like I’ve been all my adult life. I’ve spent my entire adult life working out, eating organic/fresh foods and just generally taking care of myself. I feel great – and better still – am on absolutely no meds whatsoever. I would love to become a Perricone tester to see the affects. By the way, I am a Marketing Director for a company. Thanks for your consideration.

  14. I have tried a product that had DMAE face
    cream and it worked great at first-then they must have changed an ingredient and it
    started to cause eye irritation. I would like to try your products to see if I can get the benefits of the other product before they changed some of the ingredients. Appreciatevely, Laura Hicks

  15. Help! I am 62 woman that is a full time caretaker for my elderly mom that lives with my husband and me. The last 2 years have been very stressful and have taken a toll on my health overall.

  16. I am 66 years old and work out a lot resulting in a very firm body. However I have brown spots on my face that makes me look older and would like to be a tester for Perricone products to bring my face in line with my body. Then I would volunteer as a model for your products.

  19. I am a 50 year old woman, with no wrinkles or saging skin, but I suffer from melasma (about 40% of my face) I wonder if DMAE would help?

  20. I’m 54 years old and i pretty much don’t do anything healthy for myself anymore, I’m over weight, I smoke and as a result I look as bad on the outside as I feel on the inside. I’m so disgusted with myself I can’t even look anyone in the eyes anymore including my husband and I definitely avoid all mirrors. I watched you on Dr.OZ and got on your website, I guess maybe I’m reaching out. I have to start somewhere and maybe if I looked better I’d feel better.

  21. Have read the book and would love to try the products. Have always heard such great things about Perricone and firmly believe the nutritional advice. I am 41 and would love to prevent further wrinkles.

  26. For the past six months I’ve been using a different company’s moisturizer with DMAE, alpha lipoic acid and viamin C and didn’t know Perricone had a version as well. Although I have been pleased with the results of this other moisuturizer so far, I would love to try Perricone’s version because I’ve heard and read so many great things about the entire line!

  27. I’m 49 and engaged to a wonderful guy who is 27…i’d LOVE to be able to stay as young looking as I can for him…people think I’m 40 and want to keep it that way! I’d love to be able to try your product. I have been using a generic dmae product and it’s been working great…i’d like to see if your’s really is better but don’t have the money to pay. I’ve had a face lift 5 years ago and want to avoid having a tuck within the next two years.

  28. I am a 41 year old woman who has lost a great deal of weight and would like to try it to make my skin shrink back up. Thanks

  30. I’m a 64 year old man in very good shape. Over the years I have developed a sagging neck so I don’t like the looks of my profile. I do tennis videos and would like to stay young looking.

Thanks for any help you can give me.
