How CytoActive® Works

After much dedicated research, scientist Dr. Nelson Holmquist realized that the primary ingredient in CytoActive®, glycerin, combined with our other ingredients is remarkable and unique in its ability to help clear existing bruises rapidly and help prevent post procedural bruising.

After significant yet unpublished observations,
Dr. Holmquist theorized that the rapid transport of glycerol into and through the layers of the skin and the subcutaneous fat cells beneath the skin, followed by the hydration of the tissues by glycerol and water, prevented bruise formation after injury by literally displacing the blood. Hydration of the cells of the upper layers of the dermis with glycerol also masks the appearance of a bruise by making the skin thicker and denser in fact and in appearance.

CytoActive® also incorporates another advantage of glycerin as a means of transporting water and the other compounds contained in CytoActive® though the aquaporin channels into the sub-dermal layers of the skin and fat cells. CytoActive® takes advantage of glycerin’s properties as a “transporter” to introduce purified water and essential vitamins and oils which are helpful to skin healing and which promote the rapid disappearance of bruising and discoloration.

The research behind CytoActive®

Dr. Mary Lupo, MD conducted double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled split-face, within-subject evaluation of a bruise reduction serum, and clinically proved the Holmquist family method for bruise relief.
