How many products containing Human Fibroblast Conditioned Media do you sell?
We have three proprietary formulations available: Replenishing Complex with Human Fibroblast Conditioned Media (50 ml or 1.68 oz), Replenishing Complex for Eyes (0.5 oz) and Rejuvenating Moisturizing Crème (4 oz).

What is unique about the Revitacel Replenishing Complex?
RevitaCel Replenishing Complex represents a true breakthrough in anti-aging skin care technology. Even the most recent advancements have relied significantly on the "irritant response" mechanism. The skin is intentionally "damaged" in order to encourage collagen production to repair the area. Other more invasive approaches include injections of foreign substances, or more drastic surgeries. RevitaCel's formulation takes 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 replenishes aging skin with soluble collagen, matrix proteins, natural human growth factors, and a healthy dose of antioxidants in amounts similar to that which is present in youthful skin.

What are Berridroxies? How do they work?
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. According to new scientific studies, these berries also have been found to contain compounds that equal the industry standard for exfoliation. They equal Alpha and Beta Hydroxy Acids in effectiveness, yet are softer and milder, designed to benefit even the most sensitive skins.

Why should I use the Botanical skin care products?
Skin Basics Botanicals have weathered the test of time. With thousands of loyal customers over the years, they truly are the gold standard for a daily skin care regimens. What sets them apart from other daily lines is their formulation. The Botanicals were created especially for people with sensitive skin who have experienced problems with other skin care lines. The products are designed to meet the needs of people from teens to more mature customers, providing excellent results for all. The best part is that they are filled with proven-performance botanical ingredients and are never tested on animals.

What sort of results can I expect from RevitaCel's anti-aging products?
Depending on the condition of your skin at the time of purchase, you should see:

  • increased firmness
  • smoother texture
  • more even color—over time, dark patches fade away
  • decrease in the depth of wrinkles
  • overall improvement in tone
  • generally, a more youthful appearance

How soon will I see results when using RevitaCel's Anti-Aging Products?
Again, depending on the condition of your skin, some people may see results literally overnight. Most will see a difference between 15-20 days, and clinical studies proved measurable differences occur within 45 days.

I see the name Biozhem on a lot of your products. Why is that?
Biozhem has been in the botanical skin care business for many years. It has proven to be exceptionally successful in treating all skin types with outstanding cleansers, conditioners, anti-aging firming formulas, masks, eye products and body treatments. RevitaCel Skincare is now selling the Biozhem line in conjunction with the Berridroxies and DERM 123 products.

I am using Brand X and want to try RevitaCel Replenishing Complex with Human Fibroblast. Is this a problem?
We recommend that for the best possible results you try RevitaCel Replenishing Complex with Human Fibroblast Conditioned Media in combination with the RevitaCel Advanced Anti-Aging Skin Care System with Berridroxies. That was the daily skin care regimen used to obtain the amazing results in two previous clinical studies done on Replenishing Complex. If that is not an option you choose, we recommend you use the Revitacel Replenishing Complex with Human Fibroblast on skin that has been cleansed and has had Revitacel Activating Serum with Berridroxies applied to it. You can use another cleanser, and another moisturizer. It is not recommended that you use another anti-aging product over the Replenishing Complex with Human Fibroblast.

I am using a retinol-based product from my dermatologist.
Can I use the RevitaCel Replenishing Complex with Human Fibroblast over it?

We recommend you apply one of the products at night and the other one in the day, depending on the advice of your dermatologist. Since RevitaCel Replenishing Complex with Human Fibroblast is an original, exclusive product, it should be used on cleansed skin with its partner product, RevitaCel Activating Serum with Berridroxies.

My skin is very sensitive. I have spent a lot of money on products that I can't use.
Is your RevitaCel Berridroxies line for sensitive skins?

Due to the unique buffered formulation of the Berridroxies line, most people with sensitive skin can use the products safely and effectively, with excellent results. We suggest that you try the products on a small patch of skin and leave it overnight to determine if you have any reactions. Many women who have never been able to achieve the results of fruit acids have been using the Berridroxies line for a number of years. RevitaCel Replenishing Complex with Human Fibroblast has been thoroughly tested on all skin types. Our customers with hyper-sensitive skin may need to integrate our Botanicals line with the RevitaCel Replenishing Complex with Human Fibroblast. The Botanicals products have superior gentleness for cleansing and conditioning while the RevitaCel Replenishing Complex with Human Fibroblast provides the skin with natural, younger collagen and elastin. The products are compatible and highly effective together for those with delicate skin. No skin care products can claim that every product will be able to be used by everyone. Care is required in selecting proven gentle products that perform without over-treating the skin. If you are concerned, we suggest you do a patch test, and our products carry a 60-day guarantee, so if something does not work for you, you may feel free to return it for a full refund of your purchase price.

I have used the Skin Basics for many years. Should I switch to other RevitaCel products?
What you choose must be suited to what you want a skin care product to do. Ask yourself these questions: are you experiencing tissue lining around your eyes, your mouth? Do you have other areas that are showing the signs of aging? If your skin is still firm and unlined, stay with your Skin Basics. As fine lines begin to appear, consider using the RevitaCel Replenishing Complex with Human Fibroblast and Activating Serum with Berridroxies for eyes and face. These exceptional products will help firm the thin, delicate skin around the eyes and help to firm the vulnerable areas of the face. Both the RevitaCel Berridroxies Line and Skin Basics are botanical-based. You may want to try the entire Berridroxies line for 30-45 days and compare the results to your current system.

I have been using RevitaCel Replenishing Complex with Human Fibroblast for over
6 months and can't see any real difference. Should I just stop using it?

Your skin must be in really good shape. The Replenishing Complex with Human Fibroblast is strengthening the texture of the skin and helping to give it resiliency. It also aids in reducing the development of lines. Use it just once a day and in small amounts and your skin will continue to look the way you want it to for years to come.

I have been using the Skin Basics 1-5 for years. Now in my mid-fifties, I am seeing lines around my eyes and mouth. What should I do?
Many of our maturing customers swear by RevitaCel's Firming Eye Gel with Berridroxies and Actifirm to achieve the best results. Four firming strategies combined with the exfoliating effects of the Berridroxies result in smoother, firmer and more youthful-appearing skin around the eye area. We also have two new remarkable firming products to suggest: RevitaCel Eye Cream and RevitaCel Anti-Aging Radiant Replenishing Cream. Used together with your normal regimen, you will experience visible firmness around the eye areas as well as the face. Special botanicals combined with exceptional delivery systems provide the skin with natural firming agents, easing the appearance of lines and strengthening the texture of skin.

I'm noticing some darker spots on my skin that my doctor says are normal with aging. I don't like them. What can I use to help lighten those areas?
RevitaCel does not offer a bleaching agent for lightening dark spots, but clinical results have shown that daily use of our DERM 123 Replenishing Complex combined with the effect of Activating Serum with Berridroxies exfoliates and rejuvenates the skin's surface to diminish all of the signs of aging.
