Product History
Based on skin-compatible components, MACTIV incorporates new formulations of ingredients such as Ursolic and Oleanolic Acid, combined with naturally occurring bio-active molecules, plus advanced new formulations of vitamins and natural plant and herb extracts, which all significantly reduce the signs of ageing.
Premature ageing is caused by pollution, sun exposure, smoking, drinking, poor nutrition and inadequate water intake. Even those with a healthy lifestyle are not immune. With the increased dangers posed by the environment, traditional skincare or ‘beautifying’ products do not act as an active weapon against the skin ageing.

In addition, MACTIV comprises a special formulation of active ingredients2, including retinyl palmitate and acetate (forms of vitamin A), which, when combined with the patented trans-epidermal nanometric3 squalane4 delivery system, have been clinically proven to deliver exceptional results. This means that the patented MACTIV range includes active ingredients, in an oil in water emulsion, with oil droplets small enough to penetrate the epidermis (or skin’s outer layer) effectively in order to reach the dermis. The products then work deep within the dermis to strengthen, rebuild and evenly distribute collagen fibres. MACTIV is clinically proven to help enhance elasticity and rejuvenate the skin and therefore offers outstanding results in successfully reversing the visible signs of ageing.
The range has been tested using the most advanced technological medical equipment. Measurements on changes in thickness, pigmentation, elasticity, moisture, oiliness, the occurrence and depth of wrinkles and collagen fibre structures have all been quantitatively as well as qualitatively recorded.
Ultrasound scanning tracks changes within the skin, from the surface, across the entire depth, showing the dermal fibre density (where organised collagen5 is found) and objectively determines the biological age of skin.
