GLX Technology

Only VIVITÉ® has GLX TechnologyTM, an ultra-charged formula matrix that helps infuse the skin with a glycolic compound and antioxidants to help optimize skin rejuvenation. This fusion of a glycolic compound with natural antioxidants helps promote the production of hyaluronic acid, collagen, and epidermal growth factor, all of which are essential to the integrity and health of skin.

The glycolic compound in GLX TechnologyTM is the most effective exfoliant available. In fact, glycolics have the smallest molecules of all the alpha hydroxy acids. It’s their small molecule size that enables greater skin penetration. In addition, a process called partial neutralization allows for a high delivery of glycolic compound to the skin with minimal skin irritation. Partial neutralization also extends the duration of action of the compound in the skin, so that skin receives a secondary glycolic effect.

RX Tretinoin

Tretinoin (Protocol gel, RetinA, Renova) and Retinol are compounds that are classified as retinoids as they are chemical derivatives of Vitamin A. Retinoids have been studied extensively and are known for their ability to rejuvenate sun damaged skin. They do so by a number of mechanisms, the most important of which is building new collagen. They have also been shown in recent studies, to prevent the collagen breakdown that occurs in the skin following sun exposure. Retinoids are easy to incorporate into your skin care regimen but must be used properly in order to achieve maximal benefit and minimize adverse effects.
