Overview

ReVive was created by plastic surgeon Dr. Gregory Bays Brown, who started this company based on his invention of an ingredient complex known as Epidermal Growth Factor. Dr. Brown believes that this compound can stimulate cell growth in the skin and thus help regenerate aging skin. That is quite a claim, and one that deserved more of our attention.

 Featured Ingredients

As mentioned, ReVive Moisturizing Renewal Cream features Epidermal Growth Factor, which apparently is believed to help stimulate the skin to produce more young, healthy cells in the hopes that they can replace old wrinkles cells. There does not seem to be very much research on this ingredient, so this effect may be questioned, especially in comparison to other known collagen boosters like Glucosamine Complex.

Before new skin cells can replace old ones, the old cells must be removed from the surface. Usually this is accomplished through the use of an exfoliant. ReVive attempts to do this with Glycolic Acid. While Glycolic Acid does exfoliate the skin, it has fallen out of favor with many skincare professionals, because it can irritate many skin types.

In addition, the antioxidants used in the formula - Vitamins A, C and E - do seem to have a protective effect on the skin. But often these vitamins come from synthetic sources. Plus, they are most effective when combined with known botanical antioxidants such as Green Tea, White Tea and Grape Seed Extract. Unfortunately, ReVive’s Moisturizing Renewal Cream does not contain these powerful ingredients.

 Web Site Description

The ReVive web site is actually quite informative. It includes a complete listing of its products’ ingredients, as well as a thorough history of the company. The web site also contains detail Question and Answer sections to help put customers at ease. Unfortunately, this does not seem enough to compensate for some of the weaknesses in the Moisturizing Renewal Cream already mentioned. In addition, the company does not include customer testimonials on its web site, which can be helpful in helping consumers see how a product has worked with other people.

 Positives

- Very informative and well constructed web site

 Negatives

- Product many contain harsh exfoliants and weak antioxidants

- Does not include Glucosamine Complex for collagen boosting

- Science on Epidermal Growth Factor has not been verified

- No free trial

 Conclusion

While ReVive Moisturizing Renewal Cream does possess some positive elements, this product is far from a complete wrinkle reducer. In order to achieve best results and make skin truly look younger, AntiAging-Reviews.com has found that the best products include Glucosamine Complex, Lifting Spheres, Hyaluronic Acid and other known skin revitalizers. Maybe ReVive’s next anti-wrinkle effort will come closer.
