Webinar by Reviva Labs recorded August 17, 2022 – Trends come and go in skin care but the truly standout ingredients have staying power. We’ll key you into what the hot new ingredients are and which ones we think are going to become the next “holy grail” ingredients. In skin care, trends come and go […]
In recent years, the beauty and skincare industry has witnessed the rise of innovative ingredients that promise to transform skin health and appearance. Among these, peptides have garnered significant attention for their ability to mimic the body’s natural processes to repair and rejuvenate the skin. SYN®-AKE, a synthetic peptide, stands out as a groundbreaking ingredient, […]
Everyone wants great skin. But it’s not always easy to have it. Between work, school, family, and friends, it’s easy to get caught up in the daily grind and forget about yourself. That’s why it can be so challenging to keep up with your skin care routine. It just doesn’t happen by accident. You have […]
While attitudes are shifting most men are still willfully ignorant when it comes to caring for their skin. They may even mock the multi-step skin care regimen of their significant others – while simultaneously complimenting how well their skin looks. But getting the typical guy to follow even a simple 1-2-3 step routine is often […]
Congested skin is a term used to describe skin that looks dull, feels rough and bumpy and that has visible white and blackheads on the cheeks, T-zone and forehead. The cause of congested skin and “run of the mill” acne are very similar; pores become clogged with sebum and a build-up of dead skin cells, […]
A recent article by Skin Inc “The Rising Trend of Tranexamic Acid in Skin Care” is music to Reviva’s ears, since we debuted our Multi-Factor Brightening Crème in September of 2021. The article references several studies, regarding tranexamic acid, a synthetic derivative of the amino acid lysine, and how it can help improve discolored skin […]
Webinar by Reviva Labs recorded July 13, 2022 – Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen may be all you hear during the summertime. But we’ll talk about what else is important for keeping your skin looking and feeling its best as humidity rises and we all do more outdoors. And yeah, we’ll probably mention sunscreen too. Long daylight […]
For the majority of Reviva’s history the skin care we’ve created has focused on functional treatments. So, what does that mean? Stephen Strassler began as a licensed esthetician and this led him to develop Reviva’s skin care products that focused on treating specific skin conditions. Each product was developed to be functional in its application […]
Skin care can be as simple or as complex as you’d like it to be. There are day creams, night creams, toners, cleansers, serums. Masks, exfoliants; you name it, there’s a skin care category for it. But as someone who works in the industry – and who also happens to be a skin care afficionado […]
BHA stands for ‘Beta Hydroxy Acid’, which is one of the most common ingredients in skincare products, especially for those prone to oily or acne prone skin. BHA (e.g., salicylic acid and beta hydroxybutyrate) are used because they’re less irritating than Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs). The most common BHAs is salicylic acid. Salicylic acid is […]
The world of skincare has drastically evolved in recent years, but some techniques remain tried and true. One of our favorite methods for maintaining smooth skin is exfoliation. Although this term has exploded in recent years, Reviva’s founder Stephen Strassler actually introduced this technique to America in 1973. As new skin cells form, old cells […]
This is the first post in our “How Do I Use…” Series – and was the inspiration for the series overall. While I’d tried/used our Sea Salt Cleansing Gel during its development and testing phase – and I liked it a lot – there was a fair amount of time between the development phase and […]
When we think skin care, we typically envision women. Men are simply not expected to be mindful of their skin and most don’t consider skin care important. In fact, in a 2020 survey, it was discovered that 33% of men don’t wash their face every day. And 63% of men do not regularly use a […]

Discover tips for choosing the right eye product, or helping with seasonal allergies and any resulting skin changes. After months of gray, cold weather, […]
We’re starting a new “thing” here at Reviva Labs with our “How Do I Use?” series. We get so many questions from our current customers and potential customers asking how certain products can be used, when they should be used, etc – so we decided to give a little more insight into each product, including […]
Every season, we’re forced to update our skincare routines to account for changes in weather. In winter, we often suffer from dehydrated skin, flaky patches, and tightness. In spring, our eyes suffer from puffiness and dark circles, and exposure to the sun leads us to sunburnt, irritated skin. Of course, skincare struggles vary season to […]
I was first introduced to Reviva Labs in 2004. At the time, my company was providing marketing and graphic design services, and we dealt directly with Reviva’s founder, Stephen Strassler. Every time someone from our office would meet with Stephen, he’d send products back for me to try. And once I started using Reviva Labs […]
Founded in 1973 Reviva Labs still managed to grow and thrive during the difficult stagflation years from 1974 to 1982. As a 49-year-old family business that’s weathered many challenges, Reviva takes pride in continuing to offer affordable, effective natural skin care. Reviva is refusing to raise consumer pricing; refuses to shrink the product size; and […]

For over 49 years, Reviva Labs has been addressing skin care concerns with the most efficacious formulas available. As an employee, and one of our loyal customers, I have come to expect […]
Yes, this is a bit of a silly exercise since skin care would be the least of your worries if you were a castaway. But we like to amuse ourselves in the office and so we took a quick poll. The quiz was simple, what four Reviva products would you want if shipwrecked? There was […]
