New REVALÉSKIN® Intense Recovery Treatment Review – New Formula with 1.5% CoffeeBerry® Extract!
There are just a few skin care lines from which you get great results within a week, and REVALÉSKIN® is one of them. The line features CoffeeBerry®, an antioxidant that has been found to have a greater antioxidant capacity than any other on the market in the U.S. today (Skin and Aging, 2007), including ten times the antioxidant capacity of green tea. The reason is two-fold: One, CoffeeBerry® contains an extremely high concentration of polyphenols, particularly chlorogenic acid, which alone is a potent antioxidants, according to renowned research dermatologist Dr. Leslie Baumann (source). Two, unlike other antioxidants, CoffeeBerry® works throughout the entire skin cell, while the activity of most other antioxidants is limited to specific areas of the cell.
Why are Antioxidants Important?
Antioxidants are important components in the fight against aging. Without antioxidants, factors like sun exposure and pollution cause the skin to release free radicals, which destroy collagen, one of the proteins that keeps skin looking firm and lifted. The body naturally produces antioxidants or acquires them from food or supplementation. However, antioxidant levels may be increased in the skin via topical application.
Does REVALÉSKIN® Help With Signs of Aging As Well?
Yes, the effects of CoffeeBerry® are more than just preventative. According to clinical results, the texture and tone of the skin treated with CoffeeBerry extract showed 46 per cent improvement in fine lines and wrinkles, 64 per cent in overall skin smoothness, and 79 per cent in skin hydration (American Academy of Dermatology meeting, 2006).
The reason? CoffeeBerry® contains exfoliating polyhydroxy acids, which help the user see almost immediate improvement. Studies additionally confirm that the ingredient is safe and effective for dry skin and skin discoloration (source: Revale Skin).
REVALÉSKIN® Intense Recovery Treatment Use and Opinions
REVALÉSKIN® Intense Recovery Treatment has a light texture, suitable for all skin types. REVALÉSKIN® Intense Recovery Treatment also absorbs into the skin fairly quickly, making it suitable for cosmetics use shortly after application. Interestingly, REVALÉSKIN® Intense Recovery Treatment has a strong (but fresh) scent I found to be pleasant, but which still may not be desired by some users, particularly the men!
I’ve heard through word of mouth REVALÉSKIN® Intense Recovery Treatment is useful for acne and hyperpigmentation, but there is little evidence at this time supporting either of these claims. I personally found REVALÉSKIN® Intense Recovery Treatment great and calming for my sensitive skin, and I thought that I noticed my skin seemed smoother and softer after the first week, and an increase in brightness after about one month.
Bottom Line
There are few products better than REVALÉSKIN® Intense Recovery Treatment for sensitive skin, and absolutely no single antioxidant is more potent. With that said, I would suggest using REVALÉSKIN® Intense Recovery Treatment under sunscreen every morning, because the polyphenols in CoffeeBerry® have been shown to boost UV protection even more (Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2010).
I’ve concluded that the six best ingredients in skin care right now are sunscreen, retinoids, alpha and beta hydroxy acids, niacinamide, peptides, and antioxidants like CoffeeBerry®. I definitely think daytime is the best time to use REVALÉSKIN® Intense Recovery Treatment, but REVALÉSKIN® Intense Recovery Treatment is also light enough to be tolerated over a retinoid or peptide treatment at night for some skin types as well. Talk to your dermatologist if you have concerns.

Hi Nicki, thanks for your scientifically in-depth posts, as always. I saw on Paula Begoun’s website that she questioned the amounts of each antioxidant used in determining its antioxidant strength, and whether they were equivalent. Is there information on this? Also, is it important that this product be applied after retionids or peptides? What is the best order for application when layering multiple products, such as sunscreen?

Favorite skin care brands that have proven results on my almost 60 year old skin:
REVALE- Night cream and Intensive Recovery Treatment
NIA24 – ALL PRODUCTS
Jan Marni-Age Intervention for eyes-Dark Circles
Replenix- Eye Repair Cream,5x Retinal Smoothing Cream
VIVITE- Vibrance Therapy and Night Cream
StriVectin-EV Brightening Serum,TL Tightening Eye Serum, SD-VOLUMIZING Hand Treatment
SKIN MEDICA- Essential Serum- Delivers results but became to expensive, any TNS product delivers results: Just came out with a new skin brightner and wonder what you think?
REVISION- Vitamin C 30% serum
Chanel- LE BLANC-Brightening Moisture lotion, really a skin toner and makes every product work better for me?
Just added as a treatment/ primer Miracle Skin Transformer-Vanish- It has super C and Ergothioneine. No results except it makes skin so soft and feels firmer and does seem to blur age spots
I’m almost 60 and will continue to look for the topical or oral fountain of youth for skin. I use to be a big fan of M2 for melasma which it has lightened a lot with use of, how ever it did leave skin dry and flakey and sometimes red so only use when I have long periods of non-make-up wearing time. I know lasers would address the melasma issue but to afraid to try and to expensive for up keep. I do not use the above products all the time,rotate to skin needs. The above products have proven results on my skin. Still a huge fan of Prevage but currently not using,any thoughts on new serum?
If you wonder how I can afford, I look for samples,sales and other promotions. Nicki, thanks to your blog I found Niacin, retinal, coffeeberry,ergothioneine,vitaminc and the correct way to apply so skin can absorb. Thank-you for all your awesome truth providing information!
