This serum is produced by Invitra and the full name is Reluma Skin Illuminating Anti-Aging Serum. I found it online when I was searching for an alternative to Revive. This seemed to be the real deal; containing multiple growth factors and very few fillers and preservatives. I was expecting to see glowing, renewed skin immediately like I would with Revive, but nothing happened. I was then holding out for great long term effects, but again - nothing. I have finished my 15 ml bottle and it is as if I never used this product, it had no effect at all.

Hi Smoothskin. I keep pulling up your posts. Smile Did you use Revive before this product? What did you like about the Revive?
Revive seems so expensive but is sooooo alluring.

I haven't posted much about Revive, but there are some very interesting posts especially about the Volumizing Serum which is great for puppet lines (nose to mouth). I guess the reason I am cautious to recommend Revive so much is that it is very expensive (particularly this product) and I would worry someone would try it and not have good results...

Thanks for your reply. I don't have the "puppet lines" yet so I'll hold out.

The key ingredient to these products is supposed to be the growth factors right? EGF and KGF.

Well what makes Revive superior could be the quality of these growth factors.

I know from DIY experience that these growth factors are very very delicate and do lose potency very quickly once they are mixed into products and kept at room temperature.

I am surprised that mass marketed products can still have a potency to have results on the skin, since we don't even know how long they are kept in storage before being shipped out.

I think you could be on to something. I noticed that the Reluma serum has a very short ingredient list and none of the usual preservatives in there.

Hi miranet, do you still make your own products with growth factors? Could you please share with us those recipes? I am looking for a more affordable alternative to store-bought growth factor products. Thanks!
