Anti-aging skin care line by REVERSA® now revamped.
Perfect for the 30+ age group
.

Montreal, Quebec, March 2, 2006 — Dermtek Pharmaceuticals Ltd., the first uniquely Canadian company to capture the cosmeceutical market (and creator of star product Ombrelle, the sunscreen that revolutionized the North American market), is not resting on its achievements.  The Quebec firm has been updating its packaging and fine-tuning the formulas in its Reversa anti-aging skin care line.

Reversa offers a complete range of ten (10) anti-aging products that help reduce the signs of photoaging and prevent further skin damage.  The Reversa  philosophy is to only design effective products that bridge beauty and dermatological care, using high performance cosmeceutical ingredients and adhering to rigorous pharmaceutical standards.

NEW! All Reversa formulas containing glycolic acid (AHA) are now made with the Time-Release Glyco-Comfort SystemTM

Focused on a range of straightforward products that are pleasant to use and that deliver guaranteed results, Reversa enriches all of its glycolic acid (AHA) products with its new Time-Release Glyco-Comfort SystemTM, a very appealing option for women over thirty.

The new system makes glycolic acid accessible to all skin types without compromising the efficacy of AHAs. The system combines glycolic acid with arginine, and the skin protectant allantoin; this reduces negative sensory effects such as the stinging and burning sensation sometimes experienced by women with sensitive skin.These benefits are obtained by controlling the speed of release and penetration of free acid molecules into the skin.

Arginine is an amino acid that has a positive effect on skin physiology by modifying the perception of irritation-triggering stimuli. Allantoin is a skin protectant of natural origin whose beneficial properties have long been recognized: It stimulates cell regeneration and softens the skin, while protecting it from irritating reactions. The wonderful properties of glycolic acid (AHA) (exfoliation, skin hydration, increase of skin thickness, reduction of the appearance of wrinkles, age spots and other signs of aging) are now made available for all skin types. The other ingredients in the various formulas are the anti-wrinkle peptide Micro-Collagen™, soy isoflavones, carefully selected plant extracts like Rumex and various UVA/UVB sun filters, including Parsol 1789.

"For all women who want to look more youthful without resorting to plastic surgery or medicine, Reversa is perfect. The new delivery system added to our Reversa products makes  them ideal for all skin types, even the most sensitive, and enhances the moisturizing properties of our formulas. Reversa is not a passing trend; it delivers on the promise of outstanding benefits that are scientifically proven. That is why so many dermatologists recommend it.  In the world of cosmetics, Reversa is sure value for fighting the effects of time, allowing women to look younger for longer," says Robert Lavoie, President and Chief Executive Officer of Dermtek Pharmaceuticals.

Fresh new look

The new packaging is not intended to be glitzy. Consumers will find all the information they need at a glance: instructions, composition, precautions are all easy to read. Inspired by the contemporary elegance of the sleek white containers inside, the packaging is now white and coppery gold for Reversa UV products with sunscreen; white and pearl grey is used for all other Reversa formulas without sunscreen. The only ornamentation is a gold or
silver band.
