After 20 Years Reviva Labs Hyaluronic Acid Is An Overnight Success.


HADDONFIELD, N.J. -- Over 20 years ago, Reviva Labs, a natural skin product manufacturer, was the first to introduce Hyaluronic Acid hyaluronic acid: see mucopolysaccharide.

A polysaccharide which is an integral part of the gel-like substance of animal connective tissue; it supposedly serves as a lubricant and shock absorbent in the joints.
 featured in their "InterCell" Day & Night Creams to Health Food Stores, skin care salons and other outlets.

Today, Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is big news.

In skin-care salons, HA is now popular in restoring or maintaining skin moisture. Dermatologists are now promoting hyaluronic acid injections (called "Restylane") as a replacement for collagen injections.

Clinical studies accent HA's ability to plump up Verb 1. plump up - make fuller by shaking; "fluff up the pillows"

 and giving skin a smoother, younger-looking texture.

But 20 years ago, it was relatively unknown.

HA is skin's natural gel between skin cells that serves as skin's water reservoir for the cells. But over the years, skin loses hyaluronic acid and the ability to hold sufficient water in this reservoir.

Feeding new hyaluronic acid to skin thus helps hydrate hydrate (hī`drāt), chemical compound that contains water. A common hydrate is the familiar blue vitriol, a crystalline form of cupric sulfate. Chemically, it is cupric sulfate pentahydrate, CuSO4·5H2O.  skin's intercellular intercellular /in·ter·cel·lu·lar/ (-sel´u-lar) between or among cells.

To Reviva Labs original InterCell Day and Night Creams featuring Hyaluronic Acid, Reviva has now added higher potency Hyaluronic Acid Serum for daily use alone or under other creams, plus ultra-potent Hyaluronic Acid Ampules for one week per month usage.

Skin care professionals like Marion Oates, one of Australia's leading beauty therapists, has called Reviva's Hyaluronic Serum and Ampules "the closest a cosmetic can come to dermatologists usage of "Restylane" injections.

 in an article in July '05 Dermascope Magazine, "if you are not incorporating hyaluronic acid into your clients daily skin care program, you are leaving out one of the most important constituents for the very survival of future cells."

Reviva's Hyaluronic Acid products are sold in the skin-care departments of Health Food Stores, Cosmetic Stores, and many skin-care salons internationally.
