Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
It wasn't all Dr. Drew or anything. Why would I screw myself? What am I, Dr. Drew?
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
So the way I discovered hypochlorous acid, which is the active ingredient behind active skin repair, is I owned an agency and we'd help launch products into the hospital systems, a lot of times really expensive, biologic, regenerative medicine products. And they worked in surgical procedures.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
And in owning that agency and launching these products into the hospital, I had a medical device company come to me and explain to me hypochlorous acid and how they were going to launch it into the hospital space. And the technology was just kind of really mind-blowing to me on how simple and how effective it was.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
And when I started to understand the science, understand that this wasn't... The biologics we were launching were thousands and thousands of dollars. And this is... You know, 40, 50 dollars a bottle. And so the price point was very different. The technology was it harnesses the power of the body's immune system, which I'll get into. But it was really simple, natural, non-toxic.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
And I went back to the company. I said, are you. Marketing is over-the-counter, and they had an FDA clearance for over-the-counter usage, but they weren't really pursuing that at all.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
And so that was the catalyst for me to start Active Skin Repair, to bring this technology over-the-counter, same medical-grade formulation that I helped launch into the hospital, but bringing it direct to consumers and allowing a much better alternative to synthetic antibiotics to really harsh antiseptics.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
Let me explain hypochlorous acid too a little bit. If you get cut, scraped, any type of inflammation, your body's natural immune response is to send white blood cells to that injury. Inside the white blood cells is hypochlorous acid. So
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
what we're doing is replicating the same molecule that your white blood cells are producing so you're applying topically the way your body's working internally and your body's producing that molecule as a way to fight off foreign pathogens so we're creating a natural antimicrobial and because it has a neutral charge it's able to go and attack very um
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
Very complex and also very dangerous bacteria like MRSA, C. diff, staph, some of the more complex bacteria. And you're able to kill that bacteria within 15 seconds. So you have a 99.9% kill rate within 15 seconds. What's really cool about it is, again, no toxic disease. So you're not using any harsh antiseptics. It's non-cytotoxic.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
So when you're putting it on, you're killing the bacteria, but you're not... hurting any of those healthy cells that your body's producing to actually help heal itself. Or if you're dealing with a chronic skin issue, atopic dermatitis, eczema, something of that nature, where you're prone to have bacterial colonization and flare-ups from that, you're able to apply our product to help
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
get that skin microbiome back into a more healthy balance, again, without any harsh or synthetic antibiotics, steroids, things of that nature.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
There's always a lot around hypochlorous. the mechanism of action that we don't actually know. But what we do know is because it is neutral as opposed to a lot of our toxic antiseptics that are negative charges, this is able to go in, penetrate that cell wall of these foreign pathogens, of those negatively charged foreign bacterias.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
That's exactly correct. And one of the things we do, we call it the WD-40 skin repair because you can spray it on anything. It has the same safety profile as saline solution. So you're dealing with something that's really, really safe. You can spray it around your eyes, ears, mouth from an inflammatory response.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
Things like bug bites, sunburns, things where your body has an inflammatory response, it tends to work really well with. In fact, bug bites and sunburns are one of those everyday issues that when people use it, they can see that immediate relief. And again, kind of the theory around that is it's your body's natural mechanism to help reduce that inflammatory response.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
So by applying that topically, you're working the same way your body is working internally.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
It does, without getting too complex into biofilms. When you have bacteria that can colonize, it will create a biofilm, especially if you're dealing with wounds that have been open for a while. So sometimes with diabetes patients or somebody who's elderly and doesn't have vascularity down to like a lower extremity, they get a wound on their foot.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
and that that wound stays open that bacteria will actually colonize and create a biofilm and what our product is able to do and why it gets used in hospitals and chronic wound centers and all these alike is because it has a seven log reduction that's actually able to go in and disrupt that biofilm get in and kill that planktonic bacteria and then finally there's actually some uh stimulation of cell growth right is that am i getting that correct also
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
Again, we haven't done the randomized controlled clinical trials to show that exactly, but there's a lot of peer-reviewed literature out there that does hypothesize that by helping, and there's an oxidative burst through hypochlorous acid, that you are helping some of that cellular growth.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
I break it down really simply. It's one great natural antimicrobial. So you can get rid of all those toxic antiseptics, especially the synthetic antibiotics like a Neosporin. A lot of people get allergic reaction to have a petroleum base. So you're able to replace things like that.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
And there's also a myth too that I think when we grew up is that if you get cut, you want to throw alcohol or Baxitracin or some type of toxic antiseptic to help that wound heal. But actually, it's stalling the wound from healing. You are killing bacteria most likely, but you're also killing all those healthy growth factors. So again, our product doesn't do that.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
So you have something that's going to really clear out all these toxic synthetic products in your medicine cabinet that are antimicrobials. But then you have that anti-inflammatory effect too, which is everyday skin issues. It can be just angry skin on your face from harsh winds, winter weather, things of that nature, too much sun, bug bites or inflammation.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
So you have something that's going to work every day. And then Like Caleb was giving that example with his children is how many skin issues are you dealing with bacterial issues with kids, right? From diaper rash to cuts and scrapes. If you have a young kid, I have a three-year-old, it's an everyday issue from cuts and scrapes and skin. So you have something for all of that with no sting.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
So unlike the alcohol and the peroxides that sting, you're able to apply this again around the face, eyes, ears, mouth, and your kids won't scream and hate you for doing it. And the last part is, yeah, it supports that natural healing process. So you're putting something on that's going to protect from infection, but also spur on and help support that natural healing.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
So I'll start with a spray. So we have it as our normal spray, which is this one. And then we have a kids and a baby. They are actually all the same strength. So the formulation stayed the same. It's the same, again, medical grade formulation and proprietary formulation that we use in hospitals. The reason why we put baby and kids on it was because we just kept getting so many questions.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
Can I use this on my newborn? Would this work on diaper rash? Does it work on hand, foot and mouth? Does it work on? And so after answering those thousands of questions, we just decided it was best to create a line that had that on there.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
No, that was a great interruption. And then we also have a hydrogel as well. Same active ingredient, hypochlorous acid.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
And that's really a preference. It's more akin to an ointment, right? So one is a liquid, one is a gel. All the things that I just talked about, they're both going to work the same. It's really... how you want the application to be. And then we recently just came out with a hyaluronic acid, which is a hydrating serum.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
The reason why we did that is one of the things about hyperchlorous acid, especially if you're using it as a daily skin health product, is it can be a little bit drying. And so what we wanted to do with... And we were already big fans of hyaluronic acid, again, another natural occurring molecule, very, very powerful in its hydrating effects.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
And so it just made kind of a natural addition to our kind of full product line of skin health. And that can be used especially... We get a lot of people who use our spray as a daily facial spray for things like acne. If you're coming out of a gym workout and you don't have time to shower to be able to spray down your face to make sure you're killing off all that bacteria.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
This is a great adjunctive kind of after you spray the hypochlorous acid to be able to put the hydrating serum on and get that hydration.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
And again, one of the things, I'll come back to kind of the safety profile, is it's a great first-line therapy, especially before you move on to more harsh or more toxic treatments that might be steroidal, might actually create some antibiotic resistance, might have some side effects to them. We have no allergic reactions to our product.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
Again, it's the same molecule your body's producing internally. So I would say it's a great therapy.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
You've got all the products. I think you've got how it works. And yeah, I mean, that was kind of the amazing one from going to launching us into intensive care units and intensive care burn units and these chronic wound care centers. And you're like, wow, this is so simple. Why couldn't it work on diaper rash, right?
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
Like if you have something that's so powerful to be used in surgical centers, but the safety profile is there, why can't you use it for everyday simple issues? And it turns out it works amazing for that.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
Well, I very much appreciate that. I founded the company, and we're still very small in terms of the pharmaceutical world or medical device world. So being able to tell people about it through platforms like yours is how we get the word out. We just don't have the billion-dollar pharmaceutical budgets to run TV ads every day. So this is a great way.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
It's a great product, and I'm appreciative to have a voice on your show.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
And the last one of the reasons why I love it too, or hydrating serum is because it doesn't have that greasiness. I don't know if you've noticed that. And then we're not adding any sense.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
And then she said, yes, sir.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
Justin, where are you? Um, so on Instagram, you can find us at active skin repair. Um, and we're online at active skin repair.com and physically I'm in San Diego.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
We are. So we're fully vertically integrated. Our manufacturing facility is just east of LA. So I'm located in San Diego, but our manufacturing facility is just east of LA. Everything's made in California here in the US.
Ask Dr. Drew
Marine Le Pen: Predicted Winner BANNED From French Presidential Election By Court Order w/ Former MEP Jerome Riviere – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 472
Yeah, we get a bunch of that, especially in sensitive areas. No sting, no toxicity. So, yeah, it works right there.
