We’re asked this question a lot and the answer is… yes – somewhat – but also no. So let us be clear; Reviva Labs has never been – nor have we ever attempted to be – certified as a vegan skin care line. We don’t present or sell ourselves as vegan. It’s simply not one […]

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 […]

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).

Spring is my favorite season.  It means saying goodbye to heavy winter coats and gloves, and saying hello to warmer, sunny days.
