"StriVectin" Wrinkle Cream!
"StriVectin-SD" also "Stretch Mark Cream".

"Is StriVectin cream really "Better than Botox?" Read on to find out why.
It was orginally formulated as a stretchmark treatment and was and still is a very effective stretchmark treatment, but someone decided to try it on their face and from that began the new rage WRINKLE TREATMENT FOR THE FACE. Who would have known or thought to put stretch mark cream on their face, and would end up being the new anti-wrinkle treatment of the decade!"

The word was spread by word of mouth rapidly. Woman began putting stretch-mark cream on their faces for crows feet and wrinkles, women across the country were putting  stretch-mark reducing emulsion called StriVectin-SD™ on their face to get rid of fine lines, wrinkles and crow's feet. Consumer sales were rising. StriVectin-SD's effectiveness was reported to be like a miracle for wrinkles. Men as well as women are buying StriVectin-SD. What is happening?

Scientific Breakthrough?
StriVectin-SD was already backed by clinical trials documenting its ability to visibly reduce the depth, length, discoloration and roughness of existing stretch marks, the success of StriVectin-SD as an anti-wrinkle cream for the face was "a lucky accident".

Klein Becker Research Information
"When we first handed out samples of the StriVectin formula to employees and customers as part of our market research, the sample tubes were simply marked 'topical cream' with the lot number underneath," Ms. Gay explains. "As the samples were passed to friends and family, the message became a little muddled and some people used this 'topical cream' as a facial moisturizer. As we began to receive feedback from users, like 'I look 10 years younger' and 'my crows' feet are gone,' we knew we had something more than America's most effective stretch-mark reducer. The point was driven home as store owners began reporting that almost as many people were purchasing StriVectin as an anti-wrinkle cream as were buying it to reduce stretch marks."

Quote by Dr. Daniel B. Mowrey, Klein-Becker's Director of Scientific Affairs, says, "Clearly, people were seeing results, but we didn't have a scientific explanation as to why this wrinkle-reduction was occurring. However, based on the incredibly positive reports, I started using it myself -- applying StriVectin to my face after shaving."  Dr. Mowrey adds, "On a personal note, my wife tells me I haven't looked this good in years."

Clinical Trials Report
Then, on Tuesday, July 2, 2002, at a meeting of the 20th World Congress of Dermatology in Paris, France, a series of studies detailing the superiorwrinkle-reducing
properties of a patented oglio-peptide (called Pal-KTTKS) versus retinol, vitamin C, and placebo, on "photo-aged skin" was presented**1, 2 . "Dr. Mowrey states, "the wrinkle-reducing oglio-peptide tested in the breakthrough clinical trials turned out to be a key active ingredient in the StriVectin cream."

In the trials, subjects applied the patented peptide solution to the crows' feet area on one side of the face, and a cream containing either retinol, vitamin C, or a placebo to the other side.

Subjects in the Pal-KTTKS/retinol study applied the cream once a day for 2 months and then twice a day for the next 2 months. Using special image analysis, the study's authors reported 'significant improvement' in wrinkle depth, length, wrinkle volume, and skin roughness for those women using the peptide solution. 

Better yet, at the 2-month halfway point, the peptide solution thickened skin nearly 1.5 times faster than retinol, and without the inflammation retinol often causes in sensitive skin. As was expected, the results of the remaining studies confirmed that the Pal-KTTKS solution's effectiveness at reducing fine lines and wrinkles far exceeded both vitamin C and placebo. 

A smoother, younger complexion, less irritation, fewer wrinkles, and faster results -- all without expensive (and painful) peels, implants or injections.

Better than Retinol and Vitamin C,
But Is StriVectin-SD™ Better than Botox?

Dr. Nathalie Chevreau, Director of Women's Health at Salt Lake City based Basic Research®, explains, "Many researchers believe less invasive cosmetic alternatives are more effective than Botox. That's because 'cosmeceutical' creams and gels offer gradual, continual results, while the effects of Botox and facial peels begin to wear off the very next day... you'll never look better than you do immediately after treatment."

"On the other hand," Dr. Chevreau continues, "the cumulative effects of using a product like StriVectin become more noticeable every day, and ultimately last longer than Botox."

While StriVectin-SD has not been shown to eliminate the deep furrows targeted by Botox injections, the active ingredient in StriVectin-SD has been shown to significantly reduce that category of fine lines and wrinkles that can add 10-15 years to your appearance (the type of fine lines and wrinkles Botox treatment leaves behind)... giving you a youthful, healthy, glowing complexion faster than retinol, far superior to vitamin C, and without irritation, painful injections, or surgery. 

Intensive Repair For Existing Stretch Marks (Striae Distensae)
Ultra Concentrated Stretch Mark Repair Formula

• Clinically Proven to Dramatically Reduce the Length, Depth, and Texture of Existing Stretch Marks
• Corrects Discoloration
• Stimulates Collagen Synthesis
• Significant, Measurable Results in 93% of Subjects Tested

Clinical Studies Don't Lie
A groundbreaking series of studies has demonstrated, without a doubt, the amazing effectiveness of the active StriVectin-SD isolates. After reviewing and verifying the clinical data, the researchers noted an incredible 93% of subjects demonstrated a measurable reduction in visible stretch marks. The unequivocal, verified results speak for themselves. But there's more. Clinical observations further document the ability of StriVectin-SD's active, independent isolates to dramatically:

• Decrease the actual length of striae (stretch marks)
• Decrease the depth of indented surfaces
• Increase smooth surfaces
• Increase skin thickness
• Increase skin firmness
• Increase stimulation of collagen synthesis
• Correct irregularities in skin discoloration

And that's not all. StriVectin-SD includes a proprietary combination of skin firming agents, elasticizers, and skin hydrators...adding up to the most effective, the most powerful...in fact, the only topical formulation clinically proven to effectively confront every aspect of stretch-mark repair.

So What's The Catch?
There are three. First, although 93% of the subjects tested experienced measurable reduction in stretch mark depth, length, feel, color, and texture, no topical formulation can completely eliminate stretch-mark damage. Second, at $135.00 for a 4-6 week supply, StriVectin-SD is much less expensive than surgery, but it's not cheap. Finally, for maximum efficacy, StriVectin-SD must be applied three times a day, every day, for 4-6 weeks...StriVectin-SD works, but you have to use it. So unless you're committed to getting rid of stretch marks, don't waste your time, your energy, or your money.
