Product-wise: Bearberry, Peptides, Blend of Ceramides StriVectin launched in 2002 as a stretch mark cream that was sold in health food stores such as GNC.

StriVectin capitalized on this by running ads that asked, “Could StriVectin actually be Better than Botox? is this brand’s patented form of niacin/vitamin B3 and the most prevalent components in this product line. A review article on this vitamin by Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery highlights vitamin B3 may support healthy skin in diverse ways. Furthermore, known as nicotinamide (3-pyridine-carboxamide) is the physiologically active amide of niacin (vitamin B3). Niacin is involved in the synthesis of the enzymes Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) required for cellular metabolism. Hyaluronic Acid, Ginger Extract, and Collagex-CE While collagen is necessary for maintaining youthful-looking skin, the collagen protein is too large to absorb into the skin topically.

Toxicol Res. 2015;31(2):105-136. doi:10.5487/TR.2015.31.2.105 Strivectin Tightening Face Serum is a lightweight, fast-absorbing formula that is said to visibly tighten while strengthening the skin barrier, providing antioxidant protection, and nourishing skin. One of the key ingredients in this serum is NIA-114, also known as myristyl nicotinate, a derivative of nicotinic acid (vitamin B3). It isn’t the same ingredient as niacinamide, although it provides many of the same benefits, such as repairing the skin barrier and improving skin moisture, as well as reducing inflammation, blotchiness, hyperpigmentation, acne, and wrinkling. However, this ingredient won’t provide a skin tightening effect. If you do notice that your skin feels tighter after using Strivectin Tightening Face Serum, it is likely due to the high concentration of film-formers in this product (e.g. cyclopentasiloxane, ethylene/acrylic acid copolymer, pullulan, etc.). While these ingredients will help the skin look and feel tighter, the effect is purely cosmetic; these ingredients do not actually repair the skin. Lastly, Strivectin Tightening Face Serum contains one peptide: Tetrapeptide-21. When tetrapeptide-21 is applied to the skin, it provides anti-aging benefits such as reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It can also stimulate repair and renewal mechanisms of the skin. Customers for this product adore the progress they’ve seen in their skin with routine use of this cream.
