The NeoStrata Company Line
"NeoStrata continues to advance the field with scientific innovations such as polyhydroxy acids (PHAs) and latobionic acids. With PHAs and bionics, NeoStrata has reinvented skin care--all-natural compounds that are just as effective as AHAs but do not cause irritation, even in patients with sensitive skin.
The NeoStrata portfolio (which includes 4 brands: NeoStrata, Exuviance, CoverBlend, and NeoCeuticals) utilizes Alpha-hydroxy Acids and Polyhydroxy Acids in all its brands to deliver the anti-aging and corrective benefits it touts. The NeoStrata brand formulas claim to deliver “corrective and preventative anti-aging products…with advanced hydroxyacid technology”; the Exuviance line touts visibly reduced signs of aging along with increased hydration and suppleness; CoverBlend’s line of Concealing Treatment Cosmetics promises to cover dark circles, blemishes—even tattoos—effectively while also providing Polyhydroxy Acids and sunscreen; and NeoCeuticals are specifically formulated for “therapeutic use” on specific skin conditions such as dark spots, severely dry skin, acne and hyperpigmentation.
The NeoStrata Company holds over 100 patents on AHA’s and related technologies—and according to the NeoStrata website, in the early 1970’s, founders Ruey Yu, PhD, OMD and Eugene Van Scott, MD, made the groundbreaking discovery that AHA’s had beneficial effects on human skin; the two then co-authored the first published scientific paper (in 1974) on the benefits of AHA’s in dermatology and skin care.
