For the majority of Reviva’s history the skin care we’ve created has focused on functional treatments. So, what does that mean?

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 […]
