Claims:
Intense Recovery Therapy features 1.5% Coffeeberry extract, emollients and powerful antioxidants that work together to deeply nourish and comfort the complexion. It repairs and protects damaged and environmentally compromised skin while working to reduce redness and irritation. The complexion takes on a calmer, healthier-looking tone and a more attractive texture.
 
Review:
The only reason to consider this overpriced, fairly ordinary moisturizer is if you believe the hype that coffeeberry is the best antioxidant around. If you don’t buy into that nonsense, then this is just a lightweight moisturizer for normal to dry, slightly oily skin. It’s no better or worse than lots of other average moisturizers. What might get your attention is the fact that this line is sold in physician’s offices and, therefore, is supposed to be better formulated. But all that really means is that your dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon believes the hype, too (or just wants you to believe it). Where a product is sold doesn’t reflect quality in the least, and this product proves that point succinctly. One more point: There are still no studies on coffeeberry that were not somehow connected to or paid for by RevaleSkin—and do you really think they’re going to report on any antioxidants that may surpass theirs?
