Randi mentioned that a listener sent her a topical anesthetic spray, which she used during one of the breaks today. She said it dramatically relieved her sunburn pain within 10 minutes of application.

I'd like to see what the ingredients are in this product (O2rrific - not sure how it's spelled).

And since the listener apparently is marketing it as useful for treatment of sunburns, acne, and other skin ailments, I'd like to know whether it has been found by FDA review to be safe and effective for these indications, as well as whether it has been licensed for sale.

Randi clearly has had a good result with the product (so far, anyway) -- that's great.

But it's something else entirely for the general public to start using any product for a medical condition without the product having been verified to be safe and effective.

Chiffonbreath is looking for it too!

We've seen miracle products come and go.

People who've had psoriasis may be familiar with a product called Skin Cap that was being touted over the internet as a safe new treatment about 10 years ago. Doctors were even convinced of its effectiveness (mostly by word of mouth) and began recommending it to their patients without knowing exactly what was in it. Skin Cap wasn't available from a US producer -- it had to be purchased from Spain.
It turned out that it contained high concentrations of the most potent steroid medication available. The manufacturer lied and said it didn't, but independent analysis confirmed that it did. The manufacturer withdrew it from the market. It was reintroduced in Europe, and found AGAIN to contain steroids that the manufacturer claimed it did not contain.


Another problem is that consumers may be sold a product at a high markup when the same basic product (in terms of active ingredients) can be obtained at much lower cost if the consumers know what to look for. What's in this O2rrific that we can't get already?
A perfect example is Proactiv, which has been heavily marketed for acne with endorsements by a panoply of popular, glamorous celebrities. The active ingredients are available without a prescription from any drugstore at far lower cost than the Proactiv regimen costs.

I need that stuff after X man using his glasses on me.
