Because it has not been studied on its own in clinical studies, it is impossible to know whether it does really benefit the skin, and because the formula is proprietary, it is impossible to know the optimal dose.{{Cite news|url=https://www.imedeen.us/questions-and-answers|title=Frequently Asked Questions {{!}} IMEDEEN|work=IMEDEEN|access-date=2017-11-17}}
