If you’ve looked at the lineup of skincare products available at your cosmetic surgeon’s office, you may have discovered the Vivite Skin Renewal System. Vivite is a skin renewal system that promises to exfoliate, hydrate and protect aging skin, and is made by Allergan, the company behind
Botox Cosmetic.
Vivite is different from other skincare products on the market because it contains glycolic acid and natural antioxidants that seep deep into the skin’s pores and promote collagen production. The products also stimulate natural hyaluronic acid production which helps with cell renewal and improves elasticity. Here’s a closer look at the Vivite Skin Renewal System:
Promises of Vivite Skincare Products
Vivite is designed to reduce the effects of mild to moderate photodamage, the type of skin damage that typically occurs after too much sun exposure, stress or dehydration. The effects of photodamage may include dry skin, fine lines, wrinkles, light pigmentation and rough patches. The ingredients in Vivite work together to repair skin tissues and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines in as little as three weeks. The skin appears smoother and more supple, and continuous use of the products may help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Vivite is different than most over-the-counter skincare lines because it contains a compound called superoxide dismutase, an antioxidant that traps free radicals; peptides, which help to tighten the skin; lightening pearls which diffuse light and help to brighten up the area under the eyes; and natural ingredients such as wild mango butter, green tea and pomegranate which act as moisturizing agents and provide UV protection.
Key Benefits of Vivite Skincare Products
Overall, the Vivite line is infused with several natural ingredients that promote healthy cell growth and repair. It is designed to be very hydrating, and can help to minimize facial lines while restoring lost moisture with ease. Research studies show that Vivite stimulates the production of natural growth factor which is essential for the cell renewal process. In clinical tests conducted by Allergan, participants in the study saw results within three weeks. 65% of participants noticed a decrease in dryness, 54% saw an improvement in skin smoothness, and 22% saw a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.
Additional benefits of the Vivite system include:
- Brightening of the skin, especially in the under-eye area
- More even complexion
- Tighter and more toned skin
- Increased skin elasticity
- Accelerated cell renewal and repair
- Softer and silkier skin
- Improved product absorption as skin becomes healthier
Vivite is designed for women between the ages of 35 and 55, or anyone who is experiencing the signs of premature aging. It is available at many medical spas and cosmetic surgery centers, and can be purchased as a complete set so that includes a cleanser, hydrating cream, eye treatment and overnight protecting serum.
