PARIS & SALT LAKE CITY (PRWEB) June 25, 2007
What’s significant is the fact that StriVectin-SD (from Salt Lake City, Utah, of all places) was picked out by French consumers over some of the cosmetic industry’s most prestigious brands
“This honor came as a total surprise,” said Gina Gay who accepted the award for StriVectin and its manufacturer, Klein-Becker. “We never surmised we would acquire the highest award, the Grand Prix. I can state you there were a lot of balled over looks on the faces of the executives from the better foreign brands when StriVectin was denoted as the winner. I intend, the mostly French audience panted when they recognised an American product was voted the loved cosmetic by French women. Can you conceive of?”
For the past 17 years, the publication Advantage has been sponsoring “Les Grands Prix Advantages de la Beaute”. This year, 5000 French women from across the country were inquired to pick out their loved beauty products established on the postdating criteria: pleasure, innovation, confidence in the brand, and effectiveness. And while there were several sub-categories (products specifically projected for eyes, body, etc.) StriVectin took top honors
This is the second time in less than a year that StriVectin has been named #1 by French consumers. Last September, France’s leading consumer magazine (60 Millions De Consommateur) identified StriVectin as the best, most efficacious anti-wrinkle face cream, as evaluated by a panel of 264 French women… beating the likes of Dior, Chanel, ROC, L’Oreal, Lancome and other high-end (and French made) products being as much as EUR 142 (about $ 185) per ounce
“StriVectin had already set sales records in the United States so we expected great results in France,” said Ms. Gay, “But let’s face it, French women have access to the most sophisticated cosmetics in the world and they’re extremely skeptical about products from America. Yet, when it comes to reducing the appearance of close-grained lines, wrinkles and crows’ feet, they choose a formula from, of all places, Salt Lake City, Utah. It’s another chapter in the astounding StriVectin story.”
For Those Who Don’t Know the StriVectin Story
In a remarkable turn of events, arguably one of the strangest in the history of cosmetics, women across the country are putting a stretch-mark cream called StriVectin-SD on their face to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and crows’ feet. And, if consumer sales are any indication of a product’s effectiveness, StriVectin-SD is nothing little of a miracle. Women, as well as a maturing number of “Boomer” men, are purchasing so much StriVectin-SD that happening a tube at your localised cosmetic counter has go just about hopeless. Did everyone go insane? Well…not really
Although StriVectinSDs functional components were already backed by clinical trials documenting their ability to visibly reduce the appearance of existing stretch marks (prominent because of their depth, length, discoloration and texture)… the success of StriVectin-SD as an anti-wrinkle cream was “inarticulate luck,” stated Ms. Gay
“When we first passed out samples of the StriVectin formula to employees and customers as part of our market research, the sample tubes were simply differentiated current cream’ with the lot number underneath,” Ms. Gay explicated. “As the samples were went through to friends and family, the message went a little muddled and some people utilized this ‘topical cream” as a facial moisturizer. As we got down to have feedback from users, like ‘I appear 10 years younger’ and ‘I can’t even notice my crows’ feet’ we cognized we had something more than America’s most efficacious stretch-mark cream. The point was driven home as store owners began announcing that almost as many people were acquiring StriVectin as an anti-wrinkle cream as were purchasing it to reduce stretch marks.”
Dr. Daniel B. Mowrey, PhD, KleinBeckers Director of Scientific Affairs, says, “Clearly, people were seeing results, but we didn’t have a technological explanation as to why this wrinkle-reduction was happening. “Based on the incredibly plus reports from users and the Paris reports,” Mowrey continues, “I got down utilizing StriVectin myself… as an aftershave in the morning and before I go to bed at night. And permit me state you no one has ever accused me of being beautiful, but now I’m felicitous to state that I appear young and alarming rather than older and alarming. For me, that’s an ample improvement.”
Dumb Luck Strikes Again!
Then, at a meeting of the 20th World Congress of Dermatology in Paris, France, a series of studies detailing the superior wrinkle-reducing properties of a patented oligo-peptide “called Pal-KTTKS” versus retinol, vitamin C, and placebo, on “photo-aged skin” was presented. “As luck would have it,” Dr. Mowrey states, “the anti-wrinkle oligo-peptide proven in the breakthrough nonsubjective trials turned out to be a key ingredient in the StriVectin cream.”
In the trials, subjects applied the patented peptide solution to the crows’ feet area on one side of the face, and a cream containing retinol, vitamin C, or a placebo to the other side
Subjects in the Pal-KTTKS/retinol study utilized the cream once a day for 2 months and then twice a day for the next 2 months. Using extraordinary image analysis, the study’s authors announced “earthshaking improvement” in both the gross appearance of skin tone and wrinkles for those women utilizing the peptide solution
Better yet, at the 2-month halfway point, the peptide solution worked nearly 1.5 times faster than retinol “in measured parameters,” and without the inflammation retinol often causes in sensitive skin. As was expected, the results of the staying studies corroborated that the Pal-KTTKS solution’s effectiveness at reducing the appearance of close-grained lines and wrinkles far transcended both vitamin C and placebo
A smoother, younger complexion, with less irritation and faster results all without expensive (and painful) peels, implants or injections
Better than Retinol and Vitamin C, But Is StriVectin-SD Better than Botulinum Toxin?
Dr. Nathalie Chevreau, PhD, RD, Director of Women’s Health at Salt Lake City established Basic Research(R), concentrated distributor for Klein-Becker, explains, “Leading dermatologists agree that Botulinum Toxin is the chose treatment for glabellar lines, that little little space of temperate to intense glower lines between the eyebrows. But ever since it was observed that StriVectin could reduce the appearance of close-grained lines, wrinkles, and crows’ feet… the kind of fine lines, wrinkles and crows feet that can append 10-15 years to your appearance and which expensive medical treatments often go forth behind… skin-care professionals have been urging, and utilizing, StriVectin.”
In fact, researchers believe non-invasive alternatives are better, because, Dr. Chevreau continues, “Topical creams and gels proffer bit-by-bit, continuant results, while the effects of injections, facial peels, and dermabrasions are rougher on the skin and have on off.” In other words, StriVectin-SD helps give you an immature, able-bodied, beaming complexion faster than retinol, far A-one to vitamin C, and without irritation, needles, or surgery. Even better, many dermatologists and plastic surgeons urge StriVectin in conjunction with cosmetic procedures, including Botulinum Toxin
So, if you see someone applying an anti-stretch mark cream to their face, don’t think they’ve gone off the deep end… they may be smarter than you think
