The wonders of Strivectin-Sd

Kiss your stretch marks and wrinkles goodbye with StriVectin-SD!

StriVectin-SD is known in America as a very effective anti-stretch mark cream. However, in a remarkable turn of events, the cream is gaining praises also as an anti-wrinkle cream!

According to Gina Gay, spokesperson for Klein-Becker, the makers of StriVectin-SD, the cream was originally intended to reduce the appearance of stretch marks. “When we first handed out samples of the StriVectin formula as part of our market research, the sample tubes were simply marked ‘topical cream’ with the lot number underneath,” she explained. “As the samples were passed on to friends and family, the message became a little muddled and some people used this ‘topical cream’ as a facial moisturizer. Soon, Klein-Becker and its exclusive distributor in the US, Basic Research, received feedback that the cream was also effective in reducing the appearance of wrinkles, crows’ feet and laugh lines. Some users even claimed they looked 10 years younger after using the product.

In the Philippines, StriVectin-SD is distributed by Luxasia Inc., a leading distributor of high end fragrance lines like Davidoff, Calvin Klein and Jennifer Lopez. To date, Luxasia handles the distribution of 30 brands of fragrances in the Philippines.

Vicky Marchadesch, brand manager of Luxasia Inc., said the company recently ventured into skin care, specifically the cosmeceutical line (combination of cosmetics and pharmaceutical products), because there is a big market for such products. “Many people turn to surgery or other invasive procedures to improve their appearance. Through StriVectin-SD, we are providing an alternative, a good and safe alternative. StriVectin is well-researched and was made by doctors,” she said.

StriVectin-SD, Marchadesch said, contains striadril, which promotes cell rejuvenation. “If you think about it, StriVectin is really better than Botox,” she added.

Aside from stretch marks and wrinkles, StriVectin is also effective against acne scars, burn scars, chicken pox scars and scars from old injuries. Clinically proven to be effective and safe, StriVectin-SD works on all skin colors and can be used with other facial products.

The other products in the StriVectin-SD line are Hylexin, for dark circles under the eyes; Lumedia, a facial brightener; and StriVectin Hydro-Serum for deep wrinkles. All StriVectin-SD products are available at Rustan’s Department Store.
