Dr. Sears Pure Radiance

September 29th, 2009 at 08:42am Under Products

Revive DNA Rejuvenation CreamThe first anti-aging doctor to offer TA-65 treatment in the U.S., has discovered a way to apply similar technology to skin care.

TA-65 is the newest and most dramatic technology in the world of life extension. It is the only commercially available product that lengthens human telomeres – the protective tips that cap the ends of your DNA.

Each moment your cells divide, your telomeres get shorter. When your telomeres run down, cell division stops and your life ends.

The same thing happens to your skin: The shorter your telomeres, the increasingly your skin cells age… producing dryer, increasingly wrinkled skin.

Anti-aging expert Al Sears, M.D. announced nowadays that he is launching a new skin care line that can help slow down and reverse these signs of aging. The line is called Pure Radiance… and the first product is a DNA repair cream.

His new Revive DNA Rejuvenation Cream helps preserve telomeres and stop the aging of the skin cells. Plus, it enhances cell function and quality of the tissue… extending the youth span of the skin to reduce all visible signs of aging – not just wrinkles.

As an anti-aging physician, nutritionist and researcher, Dr. Sears believes total wellness and integrative health is found both on the inside and out. “Your skin is the largest organ of your body and whether maintained properly with effective skincare, it can lead to an overall healthier and younger lifestyle.”

About Pure Radiance

Dr. Sears’ Pure Radiance products are a natural blend of today’s most supreme nutrients for healthy, glowing skin. Developed as the “New Technology for Younger Skin,” that natural skin care line breaks absent from the tradition of using parabens, carcinogens, pollutants and gasoline distillates that are commonly found in most of today’s cosmetics and skin care solutions.

Mango insanity Skin Care

September 29th, 2009 at 08:16am Under Products

Mango insanity Skin CareFlorida-based Mango insanity Skin Care has announced a new line of anti-aging skin care products that feature high potency ingredients, minimal packaging, no parabens and no animal examining.

In keeping with the company’s strategy, its Peptide 6 wrinkle cream provides the maximum effective dosage for not just one, but six peptides. The company’s Hydrospherex hyaluronic acid serum contains 100% hyaluronic acid; most types contain a less potent concentration. The company’s products feature high levels of proven wrinkle reducing ingredients such as Matrixyl 3000 and Argireline.

Mango insanity Skin Care was started in 2004 by Laura Myers, a former flight attendant turned esthetician turned entrepreneur. “As a licensed esthetician, I was surprised by the ingredients in most agency store products. Their multi-million dollar advertising campaigns certain seemed to promise a lot, but whether you look at the lists of ingredients for most of these products, they fall short of the price you are paying at the register,” Myers said.

Addressing rapidly growing demand for greener, safer products, Mango insanity Skin Care minimizes wasteful packaging and shuns the use of potentially harmful ingredients such as parabens. The company’s facial products contain no fillers or fragrances, which can irritate skin. It performs no animal checking and devotes its resources to highly effective concentrations of active ingredients instead of glitzy advertisements and expensive packaging.

“Women are tired of paying a lot of money for heavily promoted types and not getting the results they wanted,” said Myers. “Ladies are savvy and know how to read labels.”

Mango insanity Skin Care is headquartered in Saint Augustine, Fla. It offers free shipping on all online orders from its warehouse and fulfillment center at www.MangoMadnessSkinCare.com. The company’s retail store is located in the Historic District of Saint Augustine.
