Anyone see this?

The article/review looked very interesting about this new product from Allergan called Vivite Vibrance Therapy...

They said it performed as well as hydroquinone in the tests. It uses a compound called methyl dihydroxybenzonate that fades discoloration by stopping the enzyme that produces extra pigment...as opposed to hydroq. that just inhibit the enzyme.
looks promising and fascinating. Smile

Anyone here have any ideas or 2cents?
Am starting up my Obagi Nu-Derm again for the 2nd time in a year for melasma, but am thinking that this could be a positive alternative in the future, maybe? Confused
I As I have realized I have to stay on Obagi hydroq. maintenance for like ever...ugggghhhh!!!
Rolling Eyes

Thanks!

Just an FYI...you do not just have to get this through a doctor. I have seen it for sale at a number of places online, as well as ebay.

mandapanda: our own beloved lab rat!!!
Great idea to do half/half and compare results, but is one side of your face more sundamaged than the other? My right side is more mottled from being a passenger, I spose, more than a driver!
Please let our inquiring minds know your results!! =)

Good question,Fawnie...

no, both sides are equal, for the most part.
I haven't decided, though, if I should do the Vivite on the chest hyperpigmentation and Nuderm on face, or just do half and half....
hmmmmm Confused

It should be here in a couple of days..so I have time to decide my experiment and the method to my madness! Laughing
