Vibrance Therapy, 1-Ounce Pump

I am 48, with oily, light skin, min wrinkles but have had sun damage from just driving around in sunny Florida for the last 25 years. The worse ones were on my left cheek bone (drivers side - go figure!). I am not, nor have ever been much of a sun bather! Until 7 years ago I never used sunscreen on my face before leaving the house. Bad plan er no planning I should say. NOTE: USE SUN SCREEN, and start young. The last couple of years I have spent over $3500 on derma-abrasion & laser treatments (and professional skin bleach) for my dark spots/ sun damage on my face and had very little success. To add insult to injury I found that the laser treatments actually made the spots worse. Well . . . I read in the Allure magazine about some new break through's and some good products that they recommended. A new Vivite product called Vibrance Therapy was reported as worked better then products that had hydroquinone in it (which may cause cancer) to fade sun damage. Hydroquinone I understand just retards the hyper-pigmentation, and takes up to 3 months to get good results but the bad news is the spots can come back if you are in the sun a little. (Great for Florida! - Not!) The experts claimed the hyper-pigmentation was removed and more permanent with this new product. So what the heck, what's a little more $ thrown at my face - you only have one and everyone sees it! I started using Vibrance Therapy about 3 weeks ago, in the morning, when I got home from work & before bed time. I am very happy to say my spots have faded almost away! I feel for the first time in years I can leave home without tons of base make-up! It is such a good feeling! I also have been using Skinceuticals C E with Ferulic (acid) most nights and night ROC Deep Wrinkle Overnight Repair treatment every night - and a weekly acid peel for added rejuvenation. I believe these help some too. The Vivite & Skinceuticals is a little expensive but way worth it. I bought The Vivite Vibrance Therapy & Skinceuticals C E, Ferulic at Amazon & the ROC at Costco Club. The best approach I believe is to use several good products and keep it up.

I've used Vivite Vibrance Therapy for over a year now. It was a solid product, not as good as hydroquinine-based products, but it did the job. In March I ordered a refill from a different distributor than I had been using. Abzoo Corporation sent me a bottle and, when I put it on, I developed horrible rash on my face. In a manner of hours, my face turned beet-red and developed blisters on my cheekbones and near my mouth. The dermatologist said it was an allergic reaction to something in the product. After I stopped using it, my face returned to normal. Since this was my third bottle of the product, I don't think it was the actual cream. Instead, I think I received a bogus product from this distributor - a fake that didn't contain pure ingredients and in fact contained allergenic ones.

I bought this product in order to treat some sun damage ( brown spots ) on my face and to avoid hydroquinone. I have been using it for only four days and already the spots look lighter and my skin looks better and more translucent. Even my doctor of 12 years told me today that I must be feeling better because my skin and eyes looked "clearer " than he remembers in years ! ( I am 46 ) The only downside ( and this could be a coincidence ) is that my skin feels a bit dry ( it doesn't look dry ) but it feels dry....it was also too harsh for my undereyes so I pat it around the eye socket but not on the under eye area itself.

I started using this 2 yrs ago @ age 32 when I told my local skin clinic about my uneven combination skin. I tend to get oily on the forehead and nose & dry on my cheeks. On top of all this my forehead for whatever reason gets darker in the summer than the rest of my face! I was already using Vivite facial cleanser/scrub & love it! Sidetrack- the best facial scrub ever created! Everyone has to try this product at least once! The scrub evened out my scruffy spots and kept my face from breaking out from time to time. Before the age of 30 I didn't even bother with my skin. I washed it with hand soap and living in Seattle never occurred to me to use sun screen. So after consulting with my local skin/laser people (and always make sure they have a real live, working doctor running the place!) I am currently using the Vivite facial scrub, Vivite Vibrance lotion & the Tizo3 tinted sun screen (in place of makeup!). During this time I have been carded many times buying alcoholic drinks & yes, even lottery tickets! I have always had an older appearance- @ 16 people always thought I was twenty something, now @ 34 people think I'm in my twenties. If that isn't results then I don't know what is!

My dermatologist/Botox doc recommended that I use this for sun damage. Of course, she sells it for over twice as much, so I purchased it here instead along with some other skin products and paid less than 1/2 of what it would've cost me from a medical office. I have definitely noticed a difference in my skin, it appears much smoother and the discoloration is slowly fading. I've only used it for about 3 wks and ordered another bottle so I don't run out. I think the reason it is difficult to get out of the container is that it comes out in a pre-measured dose, so nothing is wasted. I store mine upside down, and whack it on the palm of my hand about 4 times before pumping. I'm also very diligent about using a high-quality sunscreen, from a competitor, that I also purchased through Amazon and saved quite a bit of money doing so. I wouldn't be able to afford such high-end products if not for the fabulous prices offered here.
