Provital positions itself at the forefront of cosmetic research by developing its own reconstructed skin

StrioverTM, our natural active ingredient that reduces the appearance of stretch marks, has been the first candidate to successfully test this technology in its in vitro studies. As a great recognition to our in vitro laboratory, this work has been recently published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Sicence with the title: Striae Reconstructed, a Full Thickness Skin Model that Recapitulates the Pathology behind Stretch Marks.
