Summer is a time for growth and revival and just like the flowers in bloom, we also have the ability to nurture healthier, happier skin this season. In truth, with consistency, high-quality formulations and a little bit of patience, it doesn't take long to see beneficial results when you set yourself up for success and create an environment that allows you to thrive.
Which is why we're so excited to announce our latest skincare launch, exclusively a part of our premier Platinum Collection: Revive. In short, it's like Light Serum gone Platinum—but it's so much more than that. This peptide-based niacinamide serum is designed to reverse the signs of aging, target the look of wrinkles, and lighten hyperpigmentation. Suitable for all skin types and perfect for both AM and PM routines, Revive is the latest must-have in your skincare arsenal. Let’s delve into what makes this product so exceptional.
Secret Recipe
Owner and founder, Ann Marie MacDonald, made sure to formulate Revive with a medley of revolutionary and effective ingredients tailored to your skincare needs. One of its key ingredients? The use of apple stem cells. This is what gives Revive its regenerative properties. Stem cells are known for their ability to repair and regenerate other cells in the body. When applied topically via skincare, the skin benefits from a youthful, revitalized complexion. By utilizing apple stem cells, Revive helps to rejuvenate the skin at a cellular level, making it a potent ingredient in addressing signs of aging.
Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, is included in Revive at an optimal concentration of 2%. This ingredient is renowned for its ability to address hyperpigmentation, a common concern for many. Niacinamide works by inhibiting the transfer of pigment within the skin, leading to a more even tone. Additionally, it has anti-inflammatory properties that soothe and calm the skin, making it a versatile ingredient for various concerns.
Hyaluronic acid is a versatile, hydrating molecule also found in Revive. The HA included in this formulation is hydrolyzed. This refers to a process where a compound is broken down into smaller parts using water. In skincare, hydrolyzed ingredients are often used because they are smaller in size and can penetrate the skin more easily, enhancing their effectiveness. So instead of sitting on the surface of the skin, the HA in Revive sets deeper into the epidermis to boost hydration from the inside out.
Saving the best for last, Revive includes a cocktail of our patented peptide complex, EMC10, exclusively found in our Platinum Collection. To get a little scientific: Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as building blocks for proteins like collagen and elastin which, as you may know, are crucial for maintaining the skin’s structure and firmness. This complex specifically targets wrinkles and fine lines, enhancing the skin's elasticity and promoting a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Tackling your Concerns
Revive addresses a host of common skincare concerns and being part of our Platinum Collection means that it’s especially effective in targeting photo-induced damage and pigmentation, improving the skin's regeneration abilities, and addressing signs of aging.
Photo-induced damage, or photo-aging, is the premature aging of the skin caused by repeated exposure to UV radiation from the sun. This type of damage leads to wrinkles, loss of skin elasticity, and hyperpigmentation.
Hyperpigmentation characterized by dark spots and uneven skin tone, can be challenging to treat. The niacinamide in Revive plays a crucial role in fading these spots by reducing the transfer of melanin, the pigment responsible for such irregularities. Regular use of Revive helps achieve a brighter, more even complexion.
Remember those apple stem cells? One of Revive’s main uses is for fine lines and wrinkles. These natural outcomes of the aging process are primarily due to the breakdown of collagen and elastin in the skin (exacerbated by sun exposure). The apple stem cells and peptide EMC10 complex in Revive work together to repair and regenerate these proteins, leading to firmer, more youthful skin.
Adding It to Your Routine
We like to think of Revive as Light Serum's Platinum counterpart: A lightweight gel moisturizer that's thicker and more moisturizing than your Stem Cell Serum.
Appropriate for all skin types—Revive’s gentle yet effective formulation ensures that everyone can benefit from its rejuvenating properties.
Incorporating Revive into your daily routine is simple! Apply both in the morning and at night after cleansing. Its direction for use is comparable to our Light Serum. Since Revive functions as a moisturizer, albeit with more potency, there's no need for an additional hydrating product unless your skin needs it.
Just a small amount of Revive will provide your skin with the nourishment and protection it needs throughout a 24-hour cycle. But don’t forget your SPF in the daytime, of course!
