Reviva was founded in and remains located in New Jersey. We like our state – but today we’re very proud of New Jersey too. NJ Governor Phil Murphy signed a new law, going into effect March 1, 2022, that extends the existing ban on animal testing regarding cosmetics. Cosmetics manufactured in New Jersey were already […]
The quick answer is yes, most likely. Why? Well, while skin is a barrier it is also permeable. And so as the weather gets colder and air becomes dryer, the body’s moisture is naturally lost to the surrounding environment. This moisture loss is exacerbated by the dry, forced air heating systems common in multi-season regions […]
Hyper-pigmentation isn’t a new concern, but it does seem to appear at the top of “must read” lists and it’s featured in skin care articles more frequently today. Maybe the increased concern has been caused by the growing focus on skin radiance in social media; or maybe it’s due to an increase in post-inflammation hyper-pigmentation […]
Reviva Labs has long been opposed to animal testing. We’re very proud that we have never tested on animals and that we’re passionate about working with like-minded suppliers. More importantly, we have supported industry efforts to change the hearts and minds of the U.S. and countries around the world. Cosmetics & Toiletries reported that Mexico […]
I truly love ALL the products here at Reviva Labs but after much deliberation I have been able to narrow them down to a handful of my favorites. I was first introduced to the light skin peel mild exfoliant in the early 2000s, the gentle but effective exfoliation is still the best I have used […]
Recently, while watching one of our favorite YouTube channels, Doctorly, Dr. Shah and Dr. Maxfield listed their favorite oils in the video “Overpriced Skincare – Don’t Waste Your Money on These“. Of course we were very happy to see their list of oils almost match identically with ours. We might also add Sunflower Oil to […]
Reviva Labs is proud to be an early participant in Stripe’s Climate program. Stripe’s program is donating 100% of collected contributions towards funding the development and production of carbon removal solutions. This in turn will help new solutions get off the ground – leading to a more carbon neutral world. Today, carbon removal solutions face […]
In doing background for a recent blog post “Can I use a face product on my body too” I was introduced to the concept of applying our Cream Hydratante product to my feet. WOW! It has changed how soft my feet are. Here’s what I wrote previously… A good example, our Cream Hydratante makes for […]
The quick and simple answer to this question, “can you use a face product on your body?”, is yes. While the reverse might not be true, since body products are generally “heavier,” any face product can easily be used on other body parts (mostly). Obviously, “stronger” brightening products or exfoliation items, should be used cautiously […]
Formulators have known for ages that hemp oil is beneficial to your skin. It’s a rich emollient and delivers a potent dose of essential fatty acids (EFAs). However, it wasn’t until CBD products exploded onto the market that deep clinical research began. Yes, much of this research focused on attempting to authenticate some outlandish “health […]
I only started using Reviva products a few months ago – just after being hired. Before that I never truly had a skincare routine – but I quickly started to catch on. Working in the design and marketing department it was crucial that I try all the products to familiarize myself with our brand. So, […]
Vitamin K’s popularity is exploding lately as both a key supplement and as an ingredient in topical skin care. It’s nice that phytonadione (known as vitamin K because the German word for coagulation is koagulation) is gaining more notoriety. Reviva has been a long-time supporter of this ingredient for healthy skin care, especially when it […]
From our very early years until today, Reviva Labs has been at the forefront of many clean beauty and safety movements. We’re constantly reviewing our product formulas and tinkering to make them better and cleaner. It’s a never-ending process but one we’re committed to. Times change and so does the science. Parabens were once used […]
Most skin care fans know that CoQ10 is a potent antioxidant. And many likely know that CoQ10 is vital for energy production (on a cellular, mitochondrial level). But more importantly, in our area of focus, it is essential for helping the skin’s basic functions such as regeneration and repair. One of the functions of CoQ10 […]
Within the skin care industry, there seems to be a marketing push to force feed us that more is better. Especially when it comes to “key ingredients” in today’s skin care. If it’s 10% or 20% or 40% percent of “x” then it must be better right? The typical answer is no, not really. More […]
Everyone at Reviva has their favorite products. The ones they use every day and night without fail. From our Multi-peptide Complex to Under Eye Dark Circle Serum there’s a lot to cherish. But even still, there are some hidden gems within our product line that often go over looked, by staff and consumer alike. Reviva’s […]
There is increasing disagreement among skin professionals, such as estheticians and dermatologists and influential skin care aficionados, regarding the overall need for eye area treatments. Some argue that there’s little difference between your general moisturizer or facial treatment and an eye product so why spend extra for eye treatments. Others suggest that skin is ski,n […]
Collagen is the main structural protein comprising an enormous percentage of our bodies. It’s found in skin, tendons, ligaments, organs, bone, and more. Twenty-nine types of collagen have been identified, but collagen types one through five are the most abundant. And for our discussion, we’ll be concerned with type one which is found in the […]
It seems like a silly question, but we’re frequently asked why we use preservatives in our skin care and cosmetics. And the simple answer is… to preserve them. Nobody wants to open their skin care to find fuzzy mold or bacteria growing. Or worse, to use skin care that looks fine only to discover it […]
