NEW YORK - March 20, 2007 Doctors now using a fresh fruit preservative
in PRESCRIBEDsolutions [Customized Skincare] product as an efficacious
alternative to hydroquinone in the fight against age spots.
The
proposed Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ban on hydroquinone has
sent consumers looking for safe skin lightening alternatives to physicians
to remove age spots on their skin. Now physicians will be able to offer
safe hydroquinone-free products to consumers. In addition to other ingredients,
PRESCRIBEDsolutions products contain a clinically proven,
innovative new enzyme inhibitor called SynoveaTM
HR Hexylresorcinol, that in in-vivo trials have proven to be as efficacious
a lightening agent as 2% hydroquinone though without the safety concerns.
It is has been used for many years in oral products, on skin and as
a fresh fruit preservative. A Bolt of Lightening, Skin Brightening
Serum is the first cosmeceutical to use this ingredient as
a skin lightening agent.
