It’s Time to Reveal Dr. Ava’s Latest Skincare Breakthrough
Althaea Skin is named from the root word in Greek for “healer.” It’s been Dr. Ava’s life’s work to help everyone heal and reveal our healthiest, most beautiful skin. Decades of award-winning research have discovered that “clock genes” in your skin’s DNA are in charge of your circadian rhythm. Dr. Ava took this research even further by developing the proprietary complexes in Althaea Skin.
Your skin’s natural circadian rhythm syncs with the sun's daily cycles. This rhythm can get disrupted by environmental and biological factors like stress, jet lag, and blue light exposure. When out of sync, your skin shows signs of fatigue, doesn’t function properly, and its overall wellness suffers.
Althaea Skin addresses your rhythm’s disruption through cellular regeneration, augmenting collagen production, and promoting tissue tightening. The advanced repair serums use Dr. Ava’s Lunar Synq Technology® and Solar Synq Technology® to work with your skin's clock genes and optimize the cells’ ability to perform daytime tasks and nighttime chores. The result is a regulated, balanced circadian rhythm leading to your healthiest, most radiant complexion.
