Some people may experience a rosy complexion and a feeling of drier, tighter skin with some light peeling for 8-12 days while the skin acclimates to Retinyl Propionate.

WHAT YOU'LL SEE
When used daily expect a healthy-looking glow and more balanced-looking tone, refinement of pores, and an overall smoother, firmer appearance. Benefits can be seen in less than two weeks. 

WHAT YOU'LL FEEL
Slight peeling or flaking and tingling sensation as skin acclimates is normal and indicates the product is working. If excessive drying, redness or peeling occurs during the first two or three weeks, skip treatment for a day or two, then restart slowly. 

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
If skin shows no reaction, increase usage to twice daily, or move up to the next level of Vivant’s Retinoid REt (RP)™ (Vitamin A). You should experience some light peeling every week.

Immediate Improvement

I'm a huge fan of every Vivant product I've ever tried. I was using a regiment with completely clear skin for quite some time while also on Spiralactone for some hormonal acne. When I stopped the medication, I began to experience just a few hormonal breakouts again but not nearly as bad as before. I reached out to Vivant and had a consultation where they recommended some changes to my current regiment. The Derm A-Renew was one of those additions/changes. I noticed immediate clearing/improvement, along with more even skin tone. I also love/use the Green Tea Cleanser, Normalizing Toner, 8% Mandelic Acid Serum, Totaloe and Allantoin. Love them all!

Dear JNF,

We are thrilled to learn that you love the Vivant Products!

Glad that you are happy with the consultation and that you are getting great results with the products recommended.
The Derm a Renew improves skin tone and texture, enhances brightness and refines pore size.
Using your vitamin A with the rest of the products you mentioned, makes a very good regimen. Keep it up! it sounds like you are very consistent and you take good care of your skin.

We hope that you continue enjoying the products and we hope to hear from you again in the future with more wonderful results.

I see changes every time I use it

Have a lot of texture with stubborn acne bumps. This is helping every time I use it. I get a little pink the first 24 hrs, then have some flakes in days 2-3. I don’t usually have irritation but sometimes it brings other acne to the surface, but then I’m definitely smoother!

Dear Meredith,

We are happy to learn that you love the Derm a Renew.

Vivant is a dermatological line. Our products are formulated with transformative ingredients that meet the highest USP (United States Pharmacopeia) standards. When using your regimen, you will see and feel the difference. Sometimes those changes can be confusing, however, do not mistake action for reaction. The changes you see in your skin are the sign that your products are working.

When you first begin using a dermatological product, your skin will go through a period of acclimation as it adjusts to the new ingredients. This acclimation period may take anywhere from 30-60 even 90 Days, depending on your skin type and condition and most importantly your consistency.

The skin may appear rosy and pink. There will be purging, dryness, tightness, irritation, redness, and itching, as well as some light flaking or exfoliation due to exfoliation and acclimation of the products. That’s desirable. These are the signs of cellular regeneration and real change in your skin. You will not see the desired results without some of these signs of acclimation occurring. If, however, your skin is stinging or inflamed. Slow back down again, meaning reduce usage to once a day every third day, and gradually ramp back up to daily usage.

Don’t give up and be consistent, consistency is key to achieving the optimal results you are looking for.

2 weeks in, it’s fine.

I’ve been using this every other day for 2 weeks. So far so good. I have a little flakiness, but no breakouts or major irritation. I’m stepping up to using every day, and looking forward to seeing improvements over the next couple months.

Dear Jla,
