What is VIVITÉ®?
Top
VIVITÉ® is an advanced skin care regimen based on exclusive
GLX 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?
Top
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.

How does VIVITÉ® differ from other skin care
products?
Top
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?
Top
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.
