Here are some
answers to questions you might have about
PREVAGE® MD antioxidant cream.
What is
PREVAGE® MD antioxidant cream?
PREVAGE®
MD antioxidant cream with idebenone is
the most potent antioxidant available
in a skin care product today. Antioxidants
are substances that protect the cells
in the body from damage caused by external
environmental stresses. Examples of these
stresses are UV light, air pollution,
ozone, and cigarette smoke, to name a
few.
Idebenone
is only available in PREVAGE® MD antioxidant
cream through select physician's offices.
What can
PREVAGE® MD antioxidant cream do for
skin?
PREVAGE®
MD antioxidant cream corrects the skin
damage that is already present-and also
protects the skin from future damage.
The antioxidative power of PREVAGE®
MD antioxidant cream has been clinically
proven to reduce the signs of skin aging
in only 6 weeks:
Does PREVAGE®
MD antioxidant cream work better than
other topical antioxidants?
Yes. PREVAGE®
MD antioxidant cream is scientifically
proven to be more effective than other
topical antioxidants in protecting the
skin against environmental stresses known
to cause skin aging. These other antioxidants
include kinetin (used in Kinerase®),
coenzyme Q10 (used in Q10 Plus Wrinkle
Control products from NIVEA®), lipoic
acid (used in N.V. Perricone products),
vitamin C, and vitamin E (used in many
anti-aging products).
In addition,
the formulation of PREVAGE® MD antioxidant
cream allows for the sustained release
of idebenone into the skin over time.
What is
the difference between PREVAGE® MD
antioxidant cream and AHAs (alpha hydroxy
acids)?
AHAs are obtained
from fruits, sugar cane, and sour milk
and are found in a variety of skin care
products including moisturizers, cleansers,
and sunscreens. AHAs act primarily as
exfoliants, helping to shed the outermost
layer of the skin to make it look smoother
and less wrinkled.
PREVAGE®
MD antioxidant cream works differently.
It contains idebenone, an antioxidant
that scavenges harmful free radicals in
the cells of the skin and protects it
from damage from external environmental
stresses such as UV light, air pollution,
ozone, and cigarette smoke, to name a
few. PREVAGE® MD antioxidant cream
also reduces the appearance of fine lines
and wrinkles, as well as skin roughness
and dryness, and evens skin tone to restore
youthful-looking skin.
Will PREVAGE®
MD antioxidant cream cause burning or
stinging?
No. In patient
trials, PREVAGE® MD antioxidant cream
did not cause burning or stinging.
Will PREVAGE®
MD antioxidant cream cause any other skin
reactions?
Whether or
not they have sensitive skin, some patients
experience breakouts any time they change
their skin care regimen. If this happens
to your patients, in order to reduce the
possibility of a breakout occurring, we
recommend you instruct patients to use
PREVAGE® MD antioxidant cream once
a day for the first two weeks and then
begin using it twice a day.
