In 2000 the company then known as Biozhem Cosmeceuticals (now RevitaCel) was contacted by a biotech company located in San Diego , California . The company was a leader in the development and production of skin tissue products to aid in the healing of burn victims and of those suffering from diabetic ulcers, as well as engaging in research to develop other tissue-based products. The products represented the best option for helping such patients re-grow their own healthy tissue by providing a platform of skin cells to support healing.
In the manufacturing process, the growing live skin tissue was bathed continuously in a proprietary nutrient solution that was then discarded after completion of the growth process. The company's president, a leading scientist in the field, became curious about the properties of the post-manufacturing nutrient solution and began conducting tests. The results were amazing—the nutrient solution was found to have the elements of human skin, and when applied topically, had positive effect on human skin.
She discovered that while the skin cells were growing and being bathed in the nutrient solution, they were secreting collagen, matrix proteins and human growth factors into the solution; an amazing discovery that ultimately led to the creation of Human Fibroblast Conditioned Media, the essential ingredient in RevitaCel's DERM 123 products.
DERM 123 products represent a true breakthrough in anti-aging skin care technology. Even the most recent advances have relied significantly on the “irritant response” mechanism that occurs in skin cells, which reacts to damage by making collagen and other matrix proteins, and by secreting human growth factors that replenish and rejuvenate the skin. Other more invasive approaches include injections of foreign substances, or the more drastic surgeries.
RevitaCel's formulations take a completely new approach to skin cell rejuvenation by replenishing topically all of the chemicals naturally produced by skin cells acting in their natural element in the body. This “cocktail” of naturally-produced nutrients triggers the skin cells to divide and grow, produce matrix proteins like collagen and elastin, and produce quantities of human growth factors equal to that of the skin of a young baby.
What is the behind the promise of DERM 123?
This proprietary formulation contains Human Fibroblast Conditioned Media (HFCM), a patented bioengineered nutrient solution developed by a San Diego biotech company that can augment the effects of the body's own natural skin physiology.
By incorporating active ingredient HFCM into a high-performance product, RevitaCel has created a paradigm shift in the world of skin care. The ability to offer perceived and real results on a greater scale than ever before places RevitaCel in the forefront of skin care technology.
HFCM sets new standards of excellence and credibility in the cosmeceutical market. The nutrient rich solution is the byproduct of a complex tissue engineering process, resulting in a multi-factor additive containing a variety of factors known to be important in the growth of healthy skin. Nature has designed skin cells to grow, heal, and flourish by their ability to secrete an array of growth factors and matrix proteins. As we age, our skin cells are damaged by chemicals and sunlight, resulting in lower amounts of these important natural chemicals being produced, and causing the visible effects of aging—wrinkles, sagging, and pigmentation.
The patented, exclusive HFCM solution has been shown to safely induce epidermal and dermal cell proliferation and collagen secretion with strong antioxidant activity after several weeks of application. Additional testing and analysis demonstrated that HFCM solution contains the major essential ingredients for the rejuvenation of healthy skin - collagen, hyaluronic acid, amino acids, natural antioxidants, naturally secreted growth factors: TGF Beta (Transforming Growth Factor Beta) that induces collagen synthesis, KGF (Keratinocyte Growth Factor) that stimulates growth of epidermal cells, and VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) to increase blood flow.
In 2001, Biozhem engaged the services of DermTech International, a San Diego-based contract testing laboratory with expertise in dermatology and skin care. Under the direction of Lawrence A. Rheins, Ph.D., the lab conducted safety and efficacy studies on the breakthrough formulations. RevitaCel then conducted a backup study on 100 subjects through Hill Top Research of Milltown, NJ. Both studies proved out the exceptional performance of the RevitaCel System, which includes the Berridroxies Skin Care System.
Why Berridroxies?
Berridroxies Activating Serum prepares the skin to receive the maximum benefit from DERM 123 Replenishing Complex with HFCM by performing the all-important exfoliation of dead surface cells and firming the surface to retain the Replenishing Complex when applied.
Berridroxies are berry extracts (bilberry and black currant) obtained by the extraction of selected parts of the berry, assuring their richness in sugars and Vitamin C. The combination of the berries with lactic, glycolic and malic acids make an active stimulant for skin cell and collagen regeneration.
Berridroxies Activating Serum contains megadoses of four firming strategies—a collagen support complex and afirming, hydrating algae extract to stimulate collagen synthesis. Milder than AHAs, the product avoids the redness often seen with Alpha and Beta Hydroxy Acid products. For excellent results, incorporate the entire Berridroxies Skin Care System into your daily regimen.
Bioengineered cosmeceutical products have the potential to replenish the damaged and aging cells of mature skin with natural factors that actually induce through normal mechanisms the formation of a healthy revitalized complexion to achieve a more youthful state.
