VIVITÉ®

What is VIVITÉ®?


VIVITÉ® is an advanced skin care regimen based on exclusiveGLX TechnologyTM, an ultra-charged formula matrix that helps infuse the skin with a glycolic compound and antioxidants to help optimize skin rejuvenation. The VIVITÉ® line extends the Allergan promise of scientifically formulated and clinically shown products that help promote beautiful, healthy skin.

What does VIVITÉ® do?


Regular use of VIVITÉ® with GLX TechnologyTM helps exfoliate, hydrate, and protect skin. Glycolic acid helps promote the skin’s natural production of hyaluronic acid and collagen—which are vital to healthy, new skin.1 Antioxidants help neutralize free radicals.

What is GLX TechnologyTM?

GLX TechnologyTM is a unique, ultra-charged formula matrix that helps infuse the skin with a glycolic compound and antioxidants to help optimize skin rejuvenation. This formula matrix is designed to help act as a catalyst for effective penetration of critical ingredients: glycolic compound to help exfoliate and sustain moisture in the skin and antioxidants to help neutralize free radicals.

No other skin care line contains GLX TechnologyTM.

What products are in the VIVITÉ® Core System?

The VIVITÉ® Core System consists of 4 products that serve as the foundation for any advanced skin care regimen:

  • VIVITÉ® Exfoliating Facial Cleanser helps loosen the unproductive top layer of skin so you can scrub it away and reveal fresh, new skin. Contains 15% glycolic compound.
  • VIVITÉ® Daily Antioxidant Facial Serum provides antioxidant protection to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and delivers a regular application of glycolics to help hydration and renovation of the top layer of skin. Contains 15% glycolic compound.
  • VIVITÉ® Night Renewal Facial Cream is an extra-rich formulation that helps promote overnight maintenance and aids in the natural skin repair process. Contains 20% glycolic compound.
  • VIVITÉ® Revitalizing Eye Cream is specially formulated to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in the sensitive areas around the eye. Contains 10% glycolic compound.

Note: Products can also be used individually. Use an SPF 15 or greater sunscreen to prevent an increase in sun sensitivity.

How does VIVITÉ® differ from other skin care products?


VIVITÉ® is the only skin care line with GLX TechnologyTM. VIVITÉ® also helps exfoliate, hydrate, and protect the skin. Exfoliation helps remove the nonproductive outer layer of skin to help reveal healthy, new skin. Hydration helps keep the skin smooth. Antioxidant protection helps neutralize free radicals

What other important ingredients are in VIVITÉ® products?

In addition to GLX TechnologyTM, the VIVITÉ® line is also rich in botanicals including olive leaf extract, pomegranate, and green tea for natural antioxidant protection; aloe, chamomile, and wild mango butter for hydration; and licorice to help improve the appearance of uneven skin tone. The ingredient list also includes antioxidant vitamins C and E, as well as caffeine to help reduce the appearance of puffiness. There are advanced ingredients in the VIVITÉ® skin care formulations: superoxide dismutase (SOD) to provide antioxidant protection and help neutralize free radicals, peptides to help create the appearance of tighter skin, microbeads to help enhance exfoliation, and interference pearls to help diffuse light to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in the sensitive areas around the eye.

What are the clinical results of following the VIVITÉ® Core System?


Twenty-four women between the ages of 35 and 55, with mild to moderate photodamage (rough, dry facial skin, fine lines, and wrinkles), completed the study. Subjects followed the study regimen for 3 weeks.2,3 After the 3 weeks, they were assessed and an Independent Expert Reviewer reported2,3:

  • 65% significant decrease in the appearance of skin dryness
  • 54% significant improvement in the appearance of skin smoothness
  • 37% significant increase in skin hydration/moisture content

Note: 22% reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles was not statistically significant, which means results may not differ from baseline (prior to treatment).
