GLX Technology™ is an advanced fusion of the clinically demonstrated benefits of glycolic acid and natural antioxidants. This formula matrix is designed to act as a catalyst for effective penetration of critical ingredients: glycolic compound to exfoliate and sustain moisture release in the skin, as well as topical antioxidants to provide protection.

No other skin care line contains GLX Technology™

The VIVITÉ® skin care routine provides many benefits. GLX Technology™ has been shown to stimulate the skin’s natural production of hyaluronic acid and collagen. GLX Technology™ has also been shown to stimulate the production of epidermal growth factor, which is vital to healthy, new skin. The antioxidants protect epidermal cells against destructive free radicals. In terms of skin care, VIVITÉ® skin care products each provide more than one important benefit. As a whole, regular use of the line exfoliates, hydrates, and protects skin.

Many skin care products only do one thing. GLX Technology™ and other ingredients in the VIVITÉ® skin care routine do many things. VIVITÉ® skin care exfoliates, hydrates, and protects. Exfoliation is important in removing nonproductive cells from the skin’s outer layer to reveal healthy, new skin. Hydration is important in keeping skin smooth. Antioxidant protection is important in keeping skin from aging prematurely due to attack from free radicals present in environmental stressors.

In addition to GLX Technology™, the VIVITÉ® skin care routine 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 reduce hyperpigmentation. The ingredient list also includes antioxidant vitamins C and E, as well as caffeine to reduce puffiness and inflammation. There are advanced ingredients in the VIVITÉ® skin care formulations: superoxide dismutase (SOD) to provide antioxidant protection and neutralize free radicals, peptides to tighten skin, microbeads to enhance exfoliation, and interference pearls to reflect and diffuse light as well as minimize the appearance of dark circles under the eyes.

Some skin improvement will occur within minutes. However, improvements have been clinically measured after just 3 weeks of following the regimen.¹
