Since
StriVectin-SD was designed as a stretch-mark reducing formula,
it comes in a large, 6-ounce tube. At $135.00, StriVectin-SD
is not cheap… but when used as a wrinkle-remover, one
tube will last approximately six months.
By the way, StriVectin-SD
is backed by Klein-Becker’s money-back guarantee. If
StriVectin-SD
doesn’t make your skin look younger,
healthier, and more vibrant, simply return the unused
portion within 30 days for a full refund… no questions
asked. |
In
a remarkable turn of events, arguably one of the strangest in the
history of cosmetics,
women across the country are putting a stretch-mark reducing emulsion
called Strivectin
on
their face to diminish fine lines, wrinkles and crow’s feet.
And, if consumer sales are any indication of a product’s effectiveness,
StriVectin SD is nothing short of a miracle. Women (as well as a
growing number of “Boomer” men) are buying so much Strivectin
that finding a tube at your local cosmetic counter has become just
about impossible. Has everyone gone mad? Well… not really.
Scientific Breakthrough
or Dumb Luck?
Although 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 was “dumb luck,” says Gina
Gay, spokesperson for Klein-Becker, StriVectin-SD’s
exclusive distributor.
“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.”
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.”
Dumb
Luck Strikes Again!
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
superior wrinkle-reducing properties of a patented oligopeptide
(called Pal-KTTKS) versus retinol, vitamin C, and placebo, on “photo-aged
skin” was presented.1,2 “As luck would
have it,” Dr. Mowrey states, “the wrinkle-reducing oligopeptide
tested in the breakthrough clinical trials turned out to be a key
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 the appearance of 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, exclusive distributor for Klein-Becker,
explains, “Many researchers believe less invasive cosmetic
alternatives are better than Botox [sometimes referred to as Botox
Cosmetic]. That’s because topical creams and gels offer gradual,
continual results, while the effects of injections, facial peels,
and dermabrasions wear off… in fact, you’ll never look
better than you do shortly after the inflammation and redness subside.
Not one bit better.”
"Furthermore," Dr. Chevreau continues, "Botox has
been approved by the FDA for an extremely limited usethe tiny little
space of deep furrows between the eyebrows (called glabellar lines)
and can cause side effects such as 'headache, temporary eyelid droop,
and nausea.' While StriVectin
was not designed to eliminate the deep glabellar lines targeted
by Botox, the proprietary StriVectin
complex has been shown to significantly reduce the appearance of
fine lines and facial wrinkles (including crows' feet) that can
add 10-15 years to your appearance... the type of fine lines and
wrinkles Botox treatments leave behind." In other words, StriVectin SD
helps give you a youthful, healthy, glowing complexion faster than
retinol, far superior to vitamin C, and without irritation, needles,
or surgery.
So, if you see someone applying an anti-stretch mark cream to their
face, don’t think they’ve gone off the deep end…
they may be smarter than you think. Strivectin
