PhotoMedex, Inc. a leading provider of advanced dermatology, clinical skincare and medical laser products, today announced Neova DNA Repair Factor Nourishing Lotion, the newest addition to its renowned Neova brand of skin and hair products. This breakthrough formula is the first product on the market to combine the restorative powers of Neova`s patented AHK Copper Peptide Complex with advanced DNA repair and enhanced moisturizing properties to effectively reverse the damage and regenerate skin.
Neova DNA Repair Factor Nourishing Lotion is a unique progressive regenerating skin lotion specifically formulated to repair DNA damage and reverse the premature aging effects of environmental damage to the skin, known as “photoaging,” resulting from exposure to the sun`s ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
“DNA damage is an inevitable result of repeated exposure to the sun`s UV radiation, and if DNA damage is not repaired properly and quickly, the visible damage to the supporting structure of the skin appears as premature aging,” explained Leonard M. Patt, Ph.D., Director, Research & Development. “DNA becomes damaged as the result of two processes in the skin, normal cellular metabolism and through repeated exposure to ultraviolet radiation. We developed DNA Repair Factor Nourishing Lotion to target the UV induced DNA damage so physicians can now give their patients the benefit of the most comprehensive and effective skin regenerating therapy possible.”
About Neova DNA Repair Factor Nourishing Lotion
Neova DNA Repair Factor Nourishing Lotion represents a breakthrough in clinical skin care. It identifies DNA damage and speeds the repair process, combats the consequences of UV-induced photoaging, reduces the signs of collagen degradation, and super-hydrates skin tissue. Recommended for all skin types, it is ideally suited for photodamaged skin types.
There are several key components that set this new nourishing lotion apart from other skin therapies. Neova`s AHK Copper Peptide Complex is a patented delivery system that uses the body`s own natural protective carrier to deliver micronutrients vital to skin health directly to the cells to maximize the restorative benefits. Heliomoduline, a concentrated blend of peptides, purified from cotton seed, identifies UV-caused DNA damage and stimulates the body`s natural repair process. Hydrolized Collagen optimizes collagen production. Prodew provides advanced hydration by replicating the skin`s natural
moisturizing factors. Together, these 4 key performance ingredients repair damage and return skin to its healthy state.
“For more than 12 years we have delivered leading edge therapeutic skin care products, and we continue to set the bar higher with products like DNA Repair Factor Lotion,” added Barbara Hayes, Director of Marketing, Aesthetic Products. “This is the first in a line of exciting new products we`ll launch in this category, extending our leadership in his next-generation-market by delivering the most advanced, most effective clinical skin care products available.”
Like all Neova products, DNA Repair Factor Nourishing Lotion is part of a medically recommended skin care program. It is available through dispensing dermatologists and plastic surgeons. For more information visit www.nextderm.com or contact the Customer Service department at 888-966-1010.

Placécol’s Advanced Body Care Cellulite and Firming Treatment were named two of SHAPE Magazine’s “pick of the best cellulite blasters around” in its July 2009 article, “We’re So Over Cellulite”.
“What makes our products unique”, says Placécol USA’s CEO Heather Elrod, “Is that all the products have been carefully formulated to a strict set of criteria and then tested until Cosmetic Chemist, Karen Coomber, who is a member of the COSCEM Society of South Africa as well as Technical Manager at CW Pharmaceuticals, has approved the product for release.
Until recently The Advanced Body Care range, Clinically tested for firming efficacy of the skin and increasing the skins smoothness after 28 days*, was only available in South Africa, where it was developed by a team of scientists, and tested for safety and efficacy. Now Advanced Body Care Cellulite and Advanced Firming Treatment are available online at www.PlacecolUSA.com and in select spas across the US.
PRODUCT INFORMATION:
Advanced Firming Treatment
is an efficient, easily-absorbed formula, scientifically developed to firm, moisturize and improve the texture and appearance of the skin. Ximenia oil, which rehydrates and moisturizes the skin, works in combination with coffee extract, which effectively reduces the appearance of fatty deposits. Glaucine, a scientifically advanced active ingredient, visibly reduces the appearance of cellulite, while palmitoyl tripeptide-5, a technologically advanced biopeptide, helps to improve elasticity and firmness and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Regular use of this product will rehydrate, moisturize, firm, restructure and tighten the skin, leaving a more youthful appearance with improved body contours, texture and tone.
Advanced Cellulite Treatment
Natural coffee and arnica extracts help eliminate the appearance of fatty deposits and work synergistically with the stimulating and warming effects of ginger to rejuvenate and invigorate the skin.

Susan’s Soaps & More just introduced all natural, non-antibacterial, liquid Body Wash & Hand Soap that complements the rest of their line of green soaps and skin care products. The new soap is offered in two aromatherapy scents and three sizes. Body Wash & Hand Soap was developed in direct response to customer demand. Susan Svec, the company president has stated, “Our three primary responsibilities are to create all natural, quality products at a reasonable price while providing exemplary customer service and responsiveness.” Visit the website for more information on Susan’s Soaps & More.
The new liquid Body Wash & Hand Soap follows the strict guidelines that Susan’s Soaps & More sets for all of their products.
- No artificial or synthetic fragrances
- No artificial or synthetic preservatives
- No artificial or synthetic colorants
- No animal fats or animal testing
Available in the popular Grapefruit Tangerine and Lavender Rosemary, the scent blends are created from pure essential oils giving the soap true aromatherapy benefits. The new natural liquid soap is also vegan, as are many of the company’s products. Body Wash & Hand Soap is being offered in a 4.75 fl. oz. flip top, a 9.5 fl. oz. flip top and a 8.75 fl. oz. pump bottle.
Early this spring, a customer expressed a need for an all natural liquid soap. As a cancer survivor, she wanted to use natural products and had difficulty finding any non-antibacterial liquid soaps. After conducting an impromptu customer survey, the company concluded that there was definitely enough interest for them to produce such a product. Not only have liquid soaps been gaining in popularity, but several notable organizations have discouraged the use of antibacterial soaps as well. Definite negatives occur with the use of antibacterial soaps including more chemicals in both people’s bodies and the waste water environment. With no proven benefits offered, it makes sense to avoid using them. Perhaps one of the most notable groups to publicly oppose the use of antibacterial soaps is the American Medical Association which took a stand against them in 2002. Susan’s Natural Soap Blog with post on antibacterial soap.
Susan’s Soaps & More believed this was a needed product niche that they could fill. Susan began researching formulas and testing procedures. After a summer of concentrated R&D efforts she created this newest product - an all natural liquid Body Wash & Hand Soap. Click here to view a video of the progress through test stages of the liquid soap.
Susan’s Soaps & More is proud to offer an all natural liquid soap that is non-antibacterial and available in two delectable scents. It not only leaves your skin clean, but feeling great. Natural Body Wash & Hand Soap is available now through the company’s website at Liquid Soap and soon in select boutiques and stores.
About Susan’s Soaps & More
Susan’s Soaps & More began in 2000 as a response to Susan’s need for help with her own skin care problems, particularly eczema on her legs and adult acne. She started selling to a few local stores and then doing craft shows. Today Susan’s Soaps & More has an online store, a permanent space in the Dallas World Trade Center and sells to stores and individuals across the United States as well as internationally.
