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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Until I joined the team at Reviva I wasn’t really a skin care person. I washed my face in the shower – yes, with bar soap – and maybe applied whatever moisturizer was nearby if my skin was dry. But when it came to understanding or appreciating skin care ingredients and formulas I was like […]
Argireline®, Lipotec’s trade name for acetyl hexapeptide-3 and acetyl hexapeptide-8, is a synthetic anti-wrinkle cosmeceutical ingredient that mimics the effect of botulinum toxin injections – but with less immediate intensity. This man-made peptide fragment penetrates the skin and interrupts the nuerotransmitter process (SNARE complex disruption) of facial muscles reducing their activation. By inhibiting muscle movement […]

COVID-19 has caused so many changes in our daily lives it’s hard to know where to start. But one of the most common questions our team has been receiving is: how can I help my skin’s irritation due to wearing a face mask all day? Face masks are a sensible and effective precaution to counter […]

I think its time to acknowledge glycolic acid as the unsung hero of skincare. It is the invisible engine that does consistent and exceptional work for our skin – no matter what kind of damage or problem we have. Plus, the benefits of using glycolic acid are almost as wide-ranging as the number of products […]
Having worked in the beauty industry for the better part of my career, I’ve been fortunate to have had a lot of favorite skin care products throughout the years. Some I used for a couple of months and others just for a couple of nights. But the products I used the longest and returned to […]
