STRETCH MARK ERASER
by Activor

120 ml.

• REPAIRS STRETCHED SKIN

Activor's Stretch Mark Eraser is a botanical skin care formulation that gradually reduces the appearance of stretch marks that develop as skin is stretched too quickly. Pregnancy, weight gain and bodybuilding are three common causes of stretch marks. SME is based on developments in the field of peptide chemistry. It uses small proteins to as signals initiate repair activities in the skin. SME works on white and red stretch marks, but it better on the white ones, since they are not as severe.

Origin of Stretch Marks
The dermal layer of skin contains two forms of collagen, Collagen I and Collagen III. Collagen III is more elastic than Collagen I, providing tensile strength and cushioning to the skin. Aging replaces Collagen III with the relatively inelastic Collagen I. The collagen makeup of youthful skin is 70% Collagen III and 30% Collagen I.

Rapid stretching of the skin distorts the collagen matrix and dermal architecture. Consequently, the collagen fibers deposited in the dermal matrix under these harsh conditions become irregular collagen bundles, rather than the regularly ordered, cross-linked collagen fibers seen in un-stressed skin. Because irregular collagen bundles cannot form cross-links with other collagen fibers, this new dermis lacks the tensile strength of normal skin. This absence of cross-linked collagen - and the growing predominance of irregular collagen bundles in the dermis of stressed skin - results in the formation of stretch marks.

Collagen synthesis is naturally balanced against collagen degradation. SME shifts the equilibrium between collagen synthesis and degradation in favor of degradation. It achieves this effect by suppressing the rate of new collagen synthesis. This allows for ongoing collagen degradation in an environment of regulated collagen synthesis and deposition. Control over this process favors the deposit of cross-linked collagen fibers in contrast to the formation of irregular collagen bundles.

SME in the Laboratory
Laboratory investigation at SUNY Brooklyn's Department of Dermatology confirmed SME's ability to suppress collagen synthesis. Dermatologists focused in on the collagen precursor, PIP, during their evaluation of SME. At the study's conclusion, it was observed that SME significantly decreased the production of PIP.

Real World Findings
4 to 6 weeks of daily, liberal use of SME is
required before an improvement in stretch marks
is usually appreciated. Continued use of SME further reduces the appearance of stretch marks.

Recommended use: massage into stretch marks one or two times a day.

Each 120 ml. bottle of SME last from 4 to 6 weeks.
