TRUTH TREATMENTS
Truth Treatments are topical nutritional formulas designed to heal skin. Formulated by Benjamin Knight Fuchs, R.Ph., a dermatology pharmacist who realized that what had heretofore been considered to be superficial, cosmetic skin care needs for dry and aging skin were really health considerations that were largely the result of nutritional deficiencies. The solution, as Pharmacist Ben discovered in his compounding pharmacy, by working directly with physicians and patients, was in the transdermal delivery of high concentrations of topical nutrients as well as intelligently formulated systemic supplements and thus was born Truth Treatments, 100% active and functional skin health products, formulated without wax, oil, silicone, preservative, water or anything else the skin doesn’t need or want. www.truthtreatments.com
