Perfectx is an intensive cream with collagen, cartilage extract, chondroitin, vitamin K2 and MSM, for adults who like to massage knees, shoulders or lower back after a long day.
Perfectx lists five ingredients. It is a cosmetic cream; here is what each does on the skin surface:
a skin-conditioning protein that stays on the skin surface.
a sulphur compound common in massage products. Stays on the skin surface.
here applied to the skin inside the cream base.
an animal-derived extract used in massage creams.
in a cream it does not reach the bones; it conditions the skin.
I sell vegetables at Gikomba market in Nairobi and carry heavy sacks every morning; by evening my back is stiff.
My daughter massages Perfectx into my lower back before bed. The clinic also showed me how to lift sacks with my legs, not my back.
