TXVector™
TXVector™ is a pro-melanin approach to anti-aging depigmentation by providing a smart delivery of Tranexamic Acid for a naturally even skin tone, targeting inflamed melanin. Tranexamic Acid alone will have poor permeability through the skin due to it’s hydrophilic nature and strong hydrogen bonding capacity.
Visilift
Derived from peach gum resin, TeraCeutic Visilift instantly reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for up to 8 hours a day. TeraCeutic Visilift instantly fades signs of aging. Why peach gum? Peach gum or resin is secreted from the bark of peach trees when external forces cause wounds and cracks on the barks. The peach tree goes into self defense mode and the resin it produces tightens the cracked bark and promotes wound healing naturally. TeraCeutic Visilift forms a dense network film when applied on the skin, resulting in immediate mechanical lifting and silky firmness.
