Reversa: Over 30 years of innovation
In 1990, Dermtek launched and marketed their Ombrelle sunscreen. It was the first product to protect against UVA and UVB rays, which was a feat in and of itself in dermatological care at the time. The product line had so much success that L’Oréal bought it in 1997.
______________________________________________
After Ombrelle’s skin protection products, the next logical step was to correct skin damage caused by sun exposure. It is with this in mind that the Reversa brand was created and each of the brand’s products seeks to respond to the diverse needs of its consumers.
______________________________________________
Reversa was one of the first brands to use glycolic acid as its main active ingredient, but the innovation didn’t stop there. Such innovation is seen daily at Reversa, since all our products are created by our team of experts. Every formula comes directly from our laboratory in Pointe-Claire, Québec. In addition, since 2018, we have been making sure that all our ingredients are vegan and that none of our products are tested on animals. Consult the pages Vegan Skincare and Cruelty-Free Lab to learn more.
