Vivitin - Anti-wrinke, anti-oxidant

Vivitin is based on a well established and powerful anti-wrinkle, anti-oxidant active that makes it highly effective for skin care lotions. It promotes cell division thus promoting the regeneration of skin collagen cells, counteracting the effects of damage from sun and the environment. Further dermatological benefits include the promotion of the skins natural ability to retain moisture.

Skin Lightening

Skin colour in humans arises from a series of cellular processes that are carried out within a unique population of cells called melanocytes, located in lower part of the epidermis. Their function is to synthesise the pigment melanin via oxidative effect of tyrosinase enzyme.

Skin lightening ingredients work in two ways - by absorbing the UV rays, and also reducing the biosynthesis of melanin which is responsible for hyper-pigmentation.

Vivinol - Melanin pigment inhibitor, skin lightening

Vivinol inhibits the tyrosinase enzyme thus reducing melanin biosynthesis. It is a very effective treatment for general skin lightening and reduces the apperance of blemishes and local areas of hyper-pigmentation in the skin.
