Vivant Skin Care is a bit unique among other skin care and anti-ageing products – rather than being develop directly for any consumers, it was developed specifically for another dermatologist. It works like prescription, in that it’s sold to doctor’s offices, and then to patients. However, it’s possible that there are several places online to buy it. Apparently, the Vivant skin Care line has a wide selection of products that are intended to reduce the various effects of ageing. However, before purchasing any skin care product it’s necessary to get as much information possible about it, because of possible side effects or lack of effective ingredients. Many skin care products are claimed to be able to have beneficial anti-ageing effects, but their real test is in what they contain as well as past testimonials.
Product Details
This particular product line is offered mainly as a kit, with four different products: a Derm-A-Gel Cellular Stimulant, Buffing Grains Buffer and Exfoliant, Normalizing Tonic and a Day Treatment Lotion, according to the website. These do different things – mainly, it seems as though they are intended to exfoliate the skin, allowing it to ‘breathe’ so to speak. From the sound of the first product, it’s meant to stimulate cellular collagen production. However, we aren’t sure on this, because we found no full listings of any ingredients for these products. We feel it to be important to look this information up as soon as possible when deciding to purchase a skin care product. Look for hyaluronic acid, Matrixyl and Argireline, as well as proven natural ingredients like grapeseed extract and other anti-oxidants.
The Good
- Vivant Skin Care has a website posted, where information about products and such can be viewed. There are many companies that have no official online presence, so this is reassuring.
- There is a wide selection of products from the Vivant Skin Care line to choose from.
The Bad
- There are no listings of ingredients posted online, so we have no idea what the active ingredients are intended to be, and therefore whether this product can be effective.
- There are no online testimonials that we saw either, which makes it difficult to judge how well this product line may have worked for people in the past.
- We tried to access this website at several points, but found it to be intermittently down. Companies should make certain that their websites are up and running smoothly.
The Bottom Line
We do appreciate the fact that this product line was created by a professional dermatologist, since it can be expected that they will be more knowledgeable in skin care techniques than most. However, we would have expected there to be more in the way of proven and listed ingredients. Vivant Skin Care, although created by someone with credentials, falls short in these categories.

You can’t. I’ve also looked and looked. Seems like they discontinued it from being bought.

I have used the Vivant BP Scrub for Acne for about 15 years and have to say it is awesome for preventing breakouts, but also has the smallest buffing grains I have found and literally “polishes” your skin. I am 46 and love it for acne and aging.

Green Tea Cleanser is still available. If you call the 1800 number they will match you with where to buy their products. That’s what I did. I was told that they are only sold through professionals so you wont find it online.

The cleansers including the green tea are available for purchase on their retail site http://www.vivantskincare.com
I have been using Vivant SkinCare for 4 years now, my esthetician introduced me to it and I cant live without it! Now my daughter uses it too. How they work is very simple; if you suffer from acne, uneven skin and want to prevent and reverse signs of agin they will fix it! Their ingredients are listed on the site as well and if you have ANY questions you can call them and they are ALWAYS available and willing to help you out. Their main ingredient is vitamin A which regenerates the cell turnover. I also like to recommend their mandelic acid serum that reduces your pore size and evens out skin tone. Their products are of pharmaceutical level and very potent so you only need a tiny bit for the whole face it lasts mothns!
