Who doesn’t aim and dream of having a fair,
flawless, wrinkle- and blemish-free skin?
Unfortunately,
not all of us are blessed to have skin as white as snow. Add to that, the
pollution and daily grind that one has to face every single day make it a lot
more difficult to maintain a clear and healthy skin.
With
such dilemma, a big amount of an individual’s money is spent on vanity
products. But the sad reality is that not all of these products live up to
their promise of giving one the clear, smooth and blemish-free skin he/she is
dreaming of.
The
good news however is that we now have more dermatologists and pharmaceutical
firms that continue to provide real treatments, information and provide certain
products to use for certain types of skin condition and concern.
Full support
Recently,
global pharmaceutical commercialization services company Invida conveyed its
full support for dermatologists in the Asia-Pacific region through its Invida
Skin Science line of products.
Invida
Skin Science is a range of high-quality, clinically proven skin care brands for
scar treatment, wound healing and skin aging.
“We are
privileged to support skin care experts in the region with our comprehensive
range of clinically proven safe and effective dermatological products,” said
Dr. Maaliddin B. Biruar, Medical and Scientific Affairs director, Invida
Philippines.
The
different products were launched during a roundtable discussion that was
organized in connection with the 20th Regional Conference of Dermatology (RCD).
First
held in 1972, the biennial RCD aims to maintain the highest professional
standards for dermatologists within the region and foster cooperation among
members of the different national dermatological societies in Southeast Asia
and Australia.
“This
collegial gathering of respected skin care experts in the Asia-Pacific region
is the perfect venue to launch our range of science-based skin care products,”
said Ninia E. Torres, country head, Invida Philippines.
Product line
Unlike
other dermatological products which can be bought over the counter, Invida Skin
Science offers a range of skin therapeutic and aesthetic products that are
prescribed by dermatologists, plastic surgeons and obstetricians.
It
includes Atopiclair, a steroid-free, preservative-free and scent-free emollient
cream for the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis; Dermatix Ultra,
a transparent, fast-drying silicone gel with advanced scar treatment formula;
Kinerase, an anti-aging cosmeceutical containing the plant growth factor
kinetin for the treatment of fine lines, wrinkles, skin tex ture and
blotchiness; Papulex, a specially formulated line of products that keeps
acne-prone skin in good condition through its cleansing, treating and
protecting action; and other products for the treatment of skin infections and glabellar
lines.
“Various
clinical studies show that Papulex is an
effective and safe treatment for acne. Nicotinamide [the active ingredient of
Papulex] has no photoallergic and phototoxic effects, making Papulex safe to
use even in summertime,” explained Prof. Stefano Veraldi, past president of the
Italian Acne Board and secretary of the Associazione Lombarda di Dermatologia e
Venereologia.
Delay aging
“Clinical
trials have shown that kinetin [the active ingredient of Kinerase] can delay
and even reverse the effects of aging in human skin cells,” said Dr. Priya Sen,
consultant dermatologist and laser surgeon, National Skin Center, Singapore.
Invida
was formed in 2005 by a powerful strategic partnership between Quintiles, the
world’s leading pharmaceutical services organization; Temasek Holdings, one of
the world’s largest investment companies, and Zuellig Group, the largest
pharmaceutical distribution and supply chain management network in Asia
Pacific. Invida aims to become the leading provider of important healthcare
brands and services to improve the lives of people in the region.
In
November 2011, the Florence-based Italian multinational company Menarini Group
completed its acquisition of Invida.
