New Rejuvenex
Skin Care Formulas
 Among the most popular products
offered by the Life Extension Buyers Club has been the Rejuvenex line of
skin care formulas, created by Prof. Carmen Fusco. The
original Rejuvenex has 25 years of research behind it, and has
been reformulated several times to incorporate the latest
research findings on the causes and prevention of skin damage.
Rejuvenex Facial Cleanser is an ideal preparation for the
application of Rejuvenex Cream.
Now, the Rejuvenex line has been extended with two new
products offered through the Life Extension Buyers Club. The
Dream Cream by Rejuvenex is an intensive nighttime
rejuvenating treatment for the face and neck.
Dr. Nicholas Hall, director of the Institute for Health and
Human Performance, notes that it is during slow-wave "delta
sleep" that our bodies recover from the stress and fatigue of
daily living. The Dream Cream is designed to work during this
period. In addition to RNA for cell energy, and vitamins A, C
and E for antioxidant effect, the formula also contains DHEA
and melatonin in a topical formula based on research published
in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
Clinically, DHEA is shown to have a softening effect on
rough, dry areas when applied topically. Dry, flaky skin is
diminished, and a softened look is enhanced. Especially
well-researched has been the essential role of antioxidants in
healing and protecting the skin. In addition, vitamin E
acetate, also contained in Dream Cream, reduces swelling in
laboratory experiments. Tocopherols and their acetates, when
applied topically, protected against swelling, redness, skin
sensitivity and skin wrinkling.
Melatonin is a proven free-radical scavenger, and protects
against harmful UV skin damage and aging.
Another product from Rejuvenex and Prof. Fusco, Vitaleyes
Eye Cream, rounds out the Rejuvenex lineup for the skin. While
Rejuvenex topical skin cream is a potent anti-aging weapon for
the face and body, the skin around the eyes is thinner and
more delicate, and requires a specialized treatment.
Vitaleyes has the antioxidant formulation found in
Rejuvenex, and contains as well the natural vitamin E cited in
a Veris Research Summary Report (May 1997, page 3) as one of
the most effective substances for topical eye care:
"In a study of 20 women between 42 and 64 years of age,
over one-half of the subjects showed a significant decrease in
wrinkle amplitude and roughness on the eyelid treated with
vitamin E containing cream daily for four weeks, compared to
the eyelid treated with placebo cream. As noted by the
researchers, their results clearly showed that topical use of
natural vitamin E induced smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles
in a sensitive area of the face."
The Vitaleyes formula helps promote increased collagen
synthesis, important in preventing or reversing the "droopy"
effect around the eyes. Over extended use, Vitaleyes can
provide similar results as collagen injections, without the
irritation and cost.
As we grow older, we suffer diminished microcapillary
circulation within the skin, which deprives skin cells of the
supply of vitamin C it needs for youthful collagen synthesis.
The topical application of Vitaleyes' vitamin C regenerates
vitamin E, and enables vitamin E to provide sustained
antioxidant protection in the skin's elastin fibers. Together
with Rejuvenex Cream and Cleanser, these two new products from
Prof. Fusco promise a full range of benefits for the skin.
