Description: PREVAGE MD anti-aging treatment, an innovative cosmetic by Allergan, represents the next generation of topical antioxidants and contains 1% idebenone, a revolutionary, potent, and effective antioxidant. This formula is now available in the UK though doctors, dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons.
Idebenone, the active ingredient in PREVAGE MD, is the first clinically tested and proven topical antioxidant that both corrects and protects the skin. PREVAGE MD anti-aging treatment, with one percent idebenone, reduces the appearance of uneven skin tone, fine lines and wrinkles. Idebenone is the most potent and effective topical antioxidant compound when compared to other commonly known antioxidants. Idebenone was found to be more effective than other antioxidants, including: kinetin, coenzyme Q10, lipoic acid, vitamin C, and vitamin E
In a recent clinical trial with 17 participants, patients found that PREVAGE MD reduced the signs of skin aging in just four weeks. Seventy-two percent of patients reported a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and 78 percent reported an improvement in skin softness and smoothness. After eight weeks of product use, the following were observed:
86 percent reduction in skin roughness and dryness;
75 percent increase in skin firmness; and,
59 percent improvement in overall appearance.
PREVAGE MD anti-aging treatment helps protect the skin from oxidative stress induced by environmental stressors known to cause skin aging, including:
Ozone
Air pollution
UV radiation
Cigarette smoke
