VIVITÉ®, launched in 2007, is Allergan's latest advanced skin care line  that revitalizes and shields skin to reduce the signs of aging. A scientific  advancement in skin care, VIVITÉ® is clinically shown to reduce fine lines  and wrinkles, and the only skin care line to include proprietary GLX  Technology™, which creates a highly specialized blend of hydrating  glycolic acid and powerful, natural antioxidants.

Glycolic acid is derived from sugar cane, but also can be made  synthetically. Because of its smaller molecular size, glycolic acid is  believed to be more effective for skin care than other alpha hydroxy  acids. When used correctly, glycolic acid can improve the look and feel  of skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and brown or  age spots.
   
  The VIVITÉ® skin care line includes the following products:

  * Exfoliating Facial Cleanser containing 15 percent glycolic compound, salicylic acid and exfoliating microbeads  to cleanse, smooth, and refine skin
  * Daily Antioxidant Facial Serum containing 15 percent glycolic compound, green tea, pomegranate, chamomile,  and aloe to moisturize and protect skin
  * Night Renewal Facial Cream containing 20 percent glycolic compound, vitamin C, vitamin E, and superoxide  distmutase to reduce fine lines and wrinkles
  * Revitalizing Eye Treatment containing 10 percent glycolic compound, caffeine, peptides, and light-reflecting  interference pearls to reduce puffiness around the eyes and decrease the appearance of crows feet
  * Daily Cleanser is mild enough for regular use to loosen surface oil and other impurities from the skin and  gently exfoliates while applying proven anti-irritants and rich humectants to leave skin fresh and moist

  ProCyte Skin Care Products

ProCyte Skin Care ProductsProCyte offers breakthrough products utilizing patented copper peptide and triamino  copper technologies designed to heal the wounds of time, surgery and aging. These innovative and exciting  products promote an optimal healing environment and protect delicate tissue. They are only available for sale  through registered physician offices.
Why is Copper Important for Healthy Skin?

As we age, our skin thins, and lines and wrinkles develop as our bodies become slower to produce collagen,  elastin, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs – the cement that bonds tissue components together). Age spots  appear and skin becomes dull and lifeless as cell renewal slows and the skin retains less moisture.

Scientific studies have demonstrated that copper plays a fundamental role in skin health, by helping restore the  skin’s ability to repair itself. Copper is a powerful collagen and elastin promoter and plays an antioxidative role in  the body. Plus it’s important in the production of GAGs. What’s more, copper-dependent enzymes increase the  benefits of natural tissue building processes.

Neova® Therapy’s patented GHK Copper Peptide Complex® micronutrition helps revive dull, lifeless skin,  remedy the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and restore moisture and firmness.
 
  The Obagi Nu-Derm System consists of topical products, which when used as a system result in substantial  improvement to many of these skin related conditions. The company continues to maintain its position as a  leader in skin health by having launched several successful new systems of products, including the Obagi-C®  Rx System which is the first prescription-strength Vitamin C and hydroquinone system; the Condition &  Enhance™ System, developed to enhance the results of physician delivered surgical and non-surgical  procedures; the ELASTIderm® family of products, a one of a kind treatment developed to restore skin elasticity  and collagen production, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and décolletage; CLENZIderm M.D. ™ Acne Therapeutic Systems to treat and prevent acne at it’s root; and most recently the Rosaclear™ System,  developed specifically for the treatment and prevention of the signs and symptoms of rosacea.

Because Obagi® Systems and products contain prescription-strength formulations, the systems are only  available through physicians, primarily dermatologists, plastic surgeons, medical spas and other skin care and  medical specialists.

  Pyratine LLC forever changed skin rejuvenation science with its discovery of cytokinins for use in ameliorating  the signs of aging skin. Pyratine LLC’s first developed Kinetin and Zeatin (found in the leading selling Kinerase  brand). Pyratine-6 is an advanced kinetin working faster and more effectively.

Cytokinins are a class of plant growth factors which have been widely studied for their activity in plants and are  well known for delaying senescence (aging) of leaves. For over a decade, Pyratine LLC has fostered scientific  research internationally for their similar beneficial effect on human skin cells.
Pyratine-6 is a single molecule  and nature identical, providing a natural and non-chemical alternative for achieving younger looking skin.

Physicians quickly embraced the development of cytokinin-based products as revolutionary a decade ago  because clinical studies showed efficacy similar to or better than prescription Renova®1 without the associated  side effects such as drying, redness, burning and peeling. Cytokinins make a genuine difference in reversing  the signs of aging with virtually no side effects.2

Now, Pyratine LLC is driving cytokinin-based skin care technology to even greater levels of effectiveness with a  second generation of cytokinins. Pyratine-6™ combines the safety profile of its predecessors, Kinetin and  Zeatin, with unprecedented rapid delivery of benefits to significantly improve the visible signs of aging skin.

Pyratine-6™ is a cytokinin innovation fusing a tetrahydropyranyl molecule group with the Kinetin structure  producing greater molecular weight and significantly more activity both in laboratory and human clinical trials.  Pyratine-6™ also showed more rapid onset of action in human clinical trials3 and significantly greater  improvement in improving skin roughness, reducing fine lines, wrinkles and mottled hyperpigmentation (age  spots) compared to its predecessors, Kinetin and Zeatin.
