VIVITÉ® Vibrance Therapy is made with natural ingredients. I like things with science behind them, and this product is an alternative to hydroquinone products for those with pigmentation and sun damage. There was an article in Cosmetic Dermatology, 2008 showing UV damage correction was similar to a 4% hydroquinone.
The goal? In addition to the pigmentation, its goal is to
1. help brighten
2. even skin tone
3. help reduce appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
with visible results seen in just 8 weeks. “Restorative, antioxidant-rich cream works to help even out skin tone without hydroquinone.”
Key ingredients:
GLX TechnologyTM, superoxide dismutase, methyl dihydroxybenzoate (reduces pigmentation), licorice root extract, mulberry fruit extract, grape extract, green tea extract, lycopene, olive leaf extract, fennel seed extract, vitamin C, vitamin E, retinol, soy isoflavones. Contains 15% glycolic compound.
To be used once or twice daily. For daytime use, apply after you have cleansed your skin.
