RESVERATROL B E FROM SKINCEUTICALS

Skinceuticals introduced Resveratrol B E, an antioxidant night concentrate, features a maximized concentration of 1% pure soluble resveratrol synergistically enhanced with baicalin and vitamin E. SkinCeuticals has developed a patent pending delivery system to solubilize a high concentration of resveratrol in an aqueous formulation. In a trial of 55 women with mild to moderate hyperpigmentation, skin laxity, and lines and wrinkles, after 12 weeks of use, Resveratrol B E significantly improved skin radiance, firmness, thickness, elasticity, density, and smoothness. Ultrasound measurement of the effects of Resveratrol B E within the skin showed that after 12 weeks of use, underlying skin repair prompted an 18.9% increase in skin density. www.skinceuticals.com

SCAR MD GEL AND SPRAY

Scar MD Silicone Scar Gel and Spray are unique formulations of silicone that dry to form an ultra-thin layer on the skin to provide a semi-occlusive barrier, with similar breathability to the skin. This modifies the factors involved in healing to normalize the production of collagen, which in turn reduces the redness of abnormal scars, decreases their volume, and reduces the pain and itchiness. Company data show that patient scars improve with treatment over a two to three month period by up to 80 percent, as measured by patient satisfaction. Scar MD Scar Gel and Spray are clinically proven to reduce redness, reduce itching, reduce pain, soften scar tissue, flatten raised scars, and prevent abnormal scarring. scarmd.net.
