Hi - I found this thread because I'm very interested in making my own cream. I ordered PM extract drops instead of buying a cream. I'm also a big fan of dermarolling. I haven't used it on my face. But I plan to. I'm using it on my breasts and body for stretch marks (*sigh*). I found this website when I was trying to find out how to disinfect my roller:

I couldn't find alcohol at 150 proof, which I believe is the concentration you need to disinfect. I bought 190 proof vodka and dilute it.
Please research dermarolling thoroughly. After all, it increases absorption of whatever product you use. Using the wrong product after dermarolling would cause more harm than good. I'm not a doctor and everyone is different. My understanding is either a 0.25 or 0.5 mm roller is sufficient to help with product absorption. I have never used under 0.5mm. I use 1.5mm for stretchmarks. I have noticed a great improvement on my body. The longer the needle, the more time you need to rest that area. Best of luck!
