Elaine and Belle

I first learned of Reviva when I began working with them as an outside vendor in 2004. At the time, I really didn’t have a skincare “routine.” I moisturized – and wore sunscreen when I went to the beach or the pool – but that was about it. Since my company was working with Reviva […]

In the morning I splash my face with cold water and then apply our #605 Activated Charcoal Time Release Night Crème (yes, I realize it’s a night cream, but it’s light enough that I use it in the day too).

First, we have to understand a little bit about chemistry. Most of us are familiar with ethanol (ethyl alcohol) since it’s the alcohol we […]
