The "TrioActive" Formula
Medicinal plants have been used in traditional medicine since prehistoric times. The neem tree (Azadirachta indica) is well known for its healing power and has been used in traditional Indian medicine for more than 4,000 years. Its seeds, bark, and leaves contain natural ingredients with proven antiseptic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcer, and antifungal activities [1].
Lithospermum erythrorhizon: Similar to ginseng, this medicinal plant is used to cure fever, constipation, liver disease, arteriosclerosis, poison and inflammation. Shikonins in this plant are known to inhibit glycation, modulate oxidative stress, suppress inflammation and UV-absorption. These molecules protect oxidative-stress-induced skin aging by inhibiting degradation of skin collagen.
However, the medicinal potential of many such magic plants remains largely untapped. Riovea uncovered many of their amazing properties, including skin brightening, anti-wrinkle and anti-aging abilities.
Riovea's innovative "TrioActive" formula is obtained from neem and other medicinal plants using a non-invasive extraction technology. Riovea is the first to discover and appreciate the amazing properties of neem in lowering melanin content in skin cells and hence in skin brightening. In addition, TrioActive is rich in natural vitamin E, fatty acids, antioxidants, antibacterial and anti-fungal that work synergistically to improve skin elasticity, protect skin against free radicals and microorganism, help reduce the redness and swelling. This rich formula nourishes, rejuvenates and protects the skin against everyday environmental stress and signs of aging.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Question: How Is Human Skin Color Determined?
Answer: human skin color is primarily due to the presence of melanin, a pigment in the skin. There are two forms of melanin. People with light complexioned skin mostly produce pheomelanin, which is red to yellow in color, while people with dark colored skin mostly produce eumelanin, which is dark brown to black.
Question: What Is Hyperpigmentation And What Causes It?
Answer: hyperpigmentation is due to increased melanin production in the skin. Melasma, chloasma (skin discolorations caused by hormones), and solar lentigo ("liver spots" or "senile freckles", caused by aging and the sun) are among the frequent forms of hyperpigmentation. Besides sun exposure and hormones, skin damage such as remnants of blemishes, wounds or rashes can lead to hyperpigmentation.
Question: What Is Riovea’s All-Natural Skin Brightening Extract and How Does It Compare with Skin Bleaching Chemicals?
Answer: Riovea’s all-natural skin brightening extract “TrioActive” was obtained using a proprietary non-invasive extraction method from medicinal plants including neem and shikon (Lithospermum erythrorhizon). In laboratory tests, ingredients in the extract showed higher efficacy than kojic acid in lowering melanin content in the skin cells. Major differences between TrioActive and skin bleaching chemicals such as hydroquinone or kojic acid:
- TrioActive is all-natural, while the bleaching chemicals are synthetic.
- While the bleaching chemicals lighten skin faster (effects seen within a week or two), TrioActive acts more slowly with results seen in about 30 days.
- Safety concerns: bleaching chemicals based skin bleaching creams are banned (hydroquinone and mercury) or limited (kojic acid etc). Riovea’s All-Natural TrioActive provides a safe and effective alternative for skin brightening.
Answer: Yes, besides brightening dull skin, Riovea’s Illuminating series products can help lighten liver spots or freckles by lowering melanin and achieve an overall more even skin tone.
Question: Can One Apply Riovea’s Products To Skins Other Than Face?
Answer: Yes. Besides on face, one can use the products on other body areas such as the arm, leg and body skin.
