Strivectin SD - 6 Oz by Kleinbecker USA

“Who would have thought a actual stretch mark reducer would turn out to be the anti-wrinkle breakthrough of the decade! ”

In a completely remarkable turn of events, arguably one of the strangest in the history of cosmetics, women across the country are putting a stretch-mark reducing emulsion called StriVectin-SD on their face to diminish fine lines, wrinkles and crow's feet. And, if consumer sales are any indication of a product's effectiveness, StriVectin-SD is nothing short of a absolute miracle. Women (as well as a growing number of "Boomer" men) are buying a whole lot of StriVectin-SD finding a tube at your local cosmetic counter has become simply impossible. Has everyone gone completely mad? Well… not exactly.

Scientific Breakthrough or just Dumb Luck?

Although StriVectin-SD was already completely backed by clinical trials documenting its ability to visibly reduce the depth, length, discoloration and overall roughness of existing stretch marks, the absolute success of StriVectin-SD as an anti-wrinkle cream was “dumb luck,” says Gina Gay, definate spokesperson for Klein-Becker, StriVectin-SD's exclusive distributor.

“When we first handed out actual samples of the StriVectin formula to employees and customers as part of our market research, the sample tubes were simply marked ‘topical cream’ with the actual lot number underneath,” Ms. Gay explains. “As the samples were passed directly to friends and family, the message became a little muddled and some people used this actual ‘topical cream’ as a facial moisturizer. As we began to actually receive feedback from users, like ‘I look almost 10 years younger’ and ‘my crows' feet are completely gone,’ we knew we had something more than America's most totally effective stretch-mark reducer. The point was totally driven home as store owners began reporting that almost as many people were purchasing StriVectin as an anti-wrinkle cream as were buying it to lower stretch marks.

Dr. Daniel B. Mowrey, Klein-Becker's Director of Scientific Affairs, actually says, “Clearly, people were seeing results, but we didn't have a actual scientific explanation as to why this wrinkle-reduction was occurring. However, specifically based on the incredibly positive reports, I started using it myself— applying StriVectin directly to my face after shaving.” Dr. Mowrey adds, “On a totally personal note, my wife tells me I haven't looked this good in years.”

Dumb Luck Strikes Yet Again!

Then, on Tuesday, July 2, 2002, at a meeting of the actual 20th World Congress of Dermatology in Paris, France, a series of studies detailing the totally superior wrinkle-reducing properties of a patented oligo-peptide (called Pal-KTTKS) versus retinol, vitamin C, and placebo, on “photo-aged skin” was presented.1,2 “As luck would actually have it,” Dr. Mowrey states, “the wrinkle-reducing oligo-peptide tested in the breakthrough clinical trials turned out to be a major ingredient in the StriVectin cream.”

In the trials, subjects directly applied the patented peptide solution to the crows' feet area on one side of the face, and a cream containing either retinol, vitamin C, or a regular placebo to the other side. Subjects in the Pal-KTTKS/retinol study applied the cream once a day for 2 months and then almost twice a day for the next 2 months. Using special image analysis, the study's authors actually reported “significant improvement” in overall wrinkle depth, length, wrinkle volume, and skin roughness for those women using the peptide solution.

Better yet, at the actual 2-month halfway point, the peptide solution thickened skin nearly 1.5 times faster than retinol, and without the inflammation retinol often causes in sensitive skin. As was generally expected, the results of the remaining studies confirmed that the Pal-KTTKS solution's effectiveness at reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles far exceeded both vitamin C and regular placebo.

A much smoother, younger complexion, less irritation, fewer wrinkles, and quicker results — all without expensive (and painful) peels, implants or actual injections.

How Does StriVectin-SD Really Work?

StriVectin-SD includes a totally proprietary combination of skin firming agents, elasticizers, and skin hydrators… adding up to the most completely comprehensive topical formulation shown to effectively confront virtually every aspect of stretch mark repair.

A completely groundbreaking series of studies has demonstrated, without a doubt, the amazing effectiveness of the active StriVectin-SD isolates. After reviewing and verifying the clinical data, the researchers noted an simply incredible 93% of subjects demonstrated a measurable reduction in visible stretch marks. The unequivocal, verified results definately speak for themselves. But there's a whole lot more. Clinical observations further document the ability of actual StriVectin-SD's active independent isolates to dramatically:

Signifigantly decrease the actual length of striae (stretch marks)
Signifigantly decrease the depth of indented surfaces
Signifigantly Increase smooth surfaces
Increase overall skin thickness
Increase overall skin firmness
Increase overall stimulation of glycosaminoglycan and collagen synthesis
Correct actual irregularities in skin discoloration
