High-performance whitening with the Prevage difference

Now, Prevage takes high-performance antiaging skincare into whitening. The newest Prevage formula combines the proven benefits of idebenone, the most powerful antioxidant and the whitening abilities of soy ferulate-C to help banish dark spots and dullness, and restore the skin’s uncompromised radiance and youthful glow.

Melanin is the natural pigment that gives skin its color and natural protection. When skin is exposed to UV rays (especially the burning UVB rays) and free radicals, excess melanin production can be activated, causing skin discolorations.

Idebenone, the key ingredient in Prevage White, is the most potent and effective antioxidant on the market today, with proven skin brightening effects. Idebenone helps neutralize free radicals on the skin before they can trigger melanin reactions. It improves the look of sun-damaged skin by protecting it against environmental assaults that can lead to dark spots and discolorations.

Soy ferulate-C combines soy ferulate, known to promote a more even skin tone, with vitamin C, proven to control melanin production at its source by minimizing the action of tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for triggering melanin production in the skin.

The line includes: Prevage White Concentrated Brightening Serum 30 ml., P4,500; Prevage Anti-aging Treatment 50 ml., P8,500; Prevage Eye Anti-aging Moisturizing Treatment 15 ml., P5,500; Prevage Anti-aging Night Cream 50 g., P7,500.

Prevage Anti-aging Treatments are available at Rustan’s Makati, Rustan’s Shangri-La, and Rustan’s Alabang Town Center. Visit prevageskin.com.
