Cosmeceuticals are skin care products that have noticeable biological actions on your skin. They work! Just read these comments from a few of our happy customers: Jump to Q and A Lorivia is AWESOME. My face and neck and chest and "other parts" are so much clearer! CS, 48, Newmarket
I am thrilled with the Ti-Silc sunblock. I have been using my old sunscreen for 20 years, and now I have switched. Love it. KD, 49, Aurora
I purchased a package of Vivier products. I find the cleanser really nice. It makes my skin feel really clean. The toner is very effective too. Actually, I love all of the products, and, because of this, I am now more consistent about cleaning and applying serum/moisturizers at night as well as in the morning. RD, 60, Keswick
The Vitamin C serum is great to use and feels pleasant on my skin. HM, 65, Udora

Questions and AnswersCosmeceuticals are cosmetics with pharmaceutical properties. Unlike pure cosmetics that simply cover or decorate the skin, cosmeceuticals have measurable biologic effects on the skin.
Back to topAll the cosmeceuticals that we carry are manufactured according to GMP Rules. These are the same rules and regulations that the pharmaceutical companies must follow when they make prescription drugs. These companies adhere to the regulations and guidlines set out by the Canadian Health Protection Branch and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. So these are products of the highest quality, and they are only available through doctors' offices. Manufacturers include Vivier Pharma, Physicians Choice of Arizona, Skin Medica, and Procyte.
Back to topNo. Any of our staff will be glad to help you when you drop in, but for great advice about issues specific to your skin, you can book a free consultation with Jennifer, our Clinical Esthetician.

Vivier holds the patent on the world's best topical vitamin C. The problem with vitamin C is that it is unstable. It has a very short shelf-life. Vivier has developed a stable form of vitamin C. They sell this to other companies such as Obagi, but we get it straight from Vivier. Almost their entire line is built around vitamin C.
Vitamin C is a very powerful antioxidant. It provides immediate neutralization of free radials produced by ionizing radiation from sunlight and exposure to environmental toxins such as cigarette smoke. It also stimulates new collagen formation.
Vivier has also developed a unique delivery system called IDS (IntraDermal System). This system provides superior penetration of active ingredients into the skin, and it provides sustained release of these ingredients.
Here are a few of the Vivier products we carry:
-
Vitamin C IDS High Potency Serum 10%
-
Kine-C IDS 10% Serum with kinetin. Kinetin is one of nature's most potent botanical growth factors. It improves moisture retention, filling in fine lines and smoothing the skin. Together with the antioxidant effects of vitamin C, overall skin texture can dramatically improve.
-
TMR is a Topical Muscle Relaxant that contains argireline. This protein was developed during research into the creation of a synthetic Botox. It acts as a mild muscle relaxant, bringing about a 30% reduction in the depth of wrinkles after one month or less of regular use.
gloMinerals Makeup: we carry this amazing line of makeup products that Hollywood is going crazy about. It is talc free, dye free, oil free, animal cruelty free, and it is only available through doctor's offices and high-end spas. These products contains vitamins A, C, K, and E plus green tea extract. It has an SPF of 18+ because of its base of triple-milled titanium and zinc. You get unsurpassed coverage, broad spectrum UV protection and free radical neutralization all at the same time. No other makeup can offer you all of this. The price is very reasonable. More than "Estee Lauder" but less than "Mac".
