A:
Your skin is made up of two layers – the outer lying epidermis
and the underlying dermis. It is the dermis that is of
concern when considering the prevention and repair of stretch
marks. The dermis is comprised mainly of connective
tissue, which consists of the proteins collagen and elastin.
Stretch marks arise when there is a deficiency in collagen and
elastin. Specifically, during periods of rapid growth
the skin’s stretching proteins, Collagen and Elastin, are
unable to withstand the rapid expansion resulting in the
formation of tiny tears. When these small tears heal,
scar tissue forms causing rippled, discolored striae, or
stretch marks. The secret behind Striaex's powerful
healing action comes from a breakthrough in cosmetic chemistry
known as Strioxyl-10 which actually increases collagen elastin
production. This both prevents and heals stretch marks.
There are various other ingredients such Vitamin C and
bioavailable Tretinoin that target stretch marks as well.
We also us our patented Microimmersion Technology to help
target and carry these ingredients deeper and more quickly
into the skin.
A:
Striaex starts its healing action immediately after
application. Many of our customers begin to see results
at around 3 weeks, but optimum results are seen after a few
months.
A:
Striaex is extremely safe to use during pregnancy.
Striaex products contain only natural ingredients and no
parabens, sulfates, synthetic scents or artificial colors.
All Striaex products are self preserving. The most
dangerous products to use during pregnancy and in the
abdominal area include an ingredient called a paraben.
99% of all cosmetic companies use Parabens to preserve their
products since they are an easy and inexpensive means of
preserving cosmetics such as creams, shampoos, conditioners,
lotions, soaps and many others. The problem is that
Parabens mimic the action of the female hormone estrogen and
long-term research shows that estrogen drives the growth of
human breast tumors. Recently British researchers at the
University of Reading have found traces of Parabens, which are
believed to have originated from underarm deodorants, in
tissue samples taken from female breast tumors (read more in
the health section on the Reuters website or Yahoo News).
Moreover, Parabens can cause serious birth defects especially
in male infants. As Parabens are very close in nature to
estrogen, they affect the development of the male reproductive
system. Since most people use shampoo and soap every
day, exposure to Parabens is significant; furthermore,
Parabens are going down our drains and into our water system
causing hormonal imbalances in both women and men every day.
A:
Absolutely. Many of our customers are using Striaex
Repair on stretch marks they have had for over 20 years and
are getting amazing results. With the technological
advances in cosmetic chemistry that we have today, it is
possible to reverse skin tissue damage and in many cases
eliminate damage altogether.
A:
Collagen is a protein located in dermis layer of our skin.
It is what allows our skin the ability to stretch and gives
our skin flexibility and strength.

a return is easy. Simply view our instructions and

A:
The
secret behind Striaex's from Strioxyl-10, a breakthrough in
cosmetic chemistry developed specifically for Striaex in
Nuance Labs. Strioxyl-10 refers to a unique concentrated
formula consisting of 10 powerful tissue regenerating
components. Strioxyl-10 acts on many levels and has
multiple active components, but one of the most unique
constituents with respect to stretch mark repair and
prevention actually comes from yeast. To simplify how
something found all around us can actually heal damaged tissue
such as stretch marks, we can begin with some basic biology.
There are two types of cells in nature, prokaryotic and
eukaryotic. Prokaryotic cells are those such as bacteria
while eukaryotic cells are those found in plants and animals.
Both baker's yeast and human skin cells are eukaryotic and
therefore are actually quite similar in structural composition
and function.
When yeast is shocked by something harmful, it responds by
producing a defensive cellular component giving the cell
protection. The yeast cell is actually shielding itself
from harm by producing a protective layer of collagen and
elastin.
The trigger compound for this response has now been isolated.
As mentioned previously, yeast and human skin cells are
actually very similar. So similar in fact, that when
this compound is applied to our skin, we see the same response
as in yeast cells resulting in a significant increase in
collagen and elastin production. An amazing 33% to be
exact. And that's at concentrations of only 0.1%.
This is truly a breakthrough in cosmetic science and we are
the first and only company using this remarkable new
technology in our Striaex line. Strioxyl-10
consists of 9 more equally intriguing constituents, all acting
on different levels of tissue repair.
A:
Striaex
is an extremely concentrated formula; therefore, only a small
amount is needed. Striaex Repair is a two step system
that requires first the application of Striaex-Strioxyl-10
Concentrate to the affected area. Secondly, apply
Striaex Intensive Repairing Cream and massage into skin.
Nuance patented Microimmersion Technology will carry the
Strioxyl-10 Concentrate deep into the dermis where it
immediately begins repairing damaged connective tissue.
Apply 3 times daily for stretch marks. Apply 2 times
daily for facial anti-wrinkle purposes.
Striaex Intensive Stretch Mark Prevention is a one step cream.
Apply to abdomen, thighs, buttocks or any other areas you wish
to protect from advancing stretch marks. Apply 3 times
daily.
Since Striaex is a concentrated formula, some tingling or a
warm sensation is normal during application. Discontinue
use if irritation persists.
A:
Striaex
is only available through this website or from our store
location. See our contact information for our store
location.
A:
Many
other stretch mark products offer no healing benefits and do
not target damaged connective tissue or stimulate collagen/elastin
growth. In fact, most stretch mark creams are
nothing more than moisturizing creams. Most other
products that are considered even slightly helpful in stretch
mark prevention and repair offer topical synthetic or animal
collagen substitutes as a solution to stretch marks. The
only true way to prevent or repair stretch marks is to go
straight to the source of damage and stimulate collagen/elastin
production as does our product. Striaex is the only
stretch mark product on the market containing Strioxyl-10,
which promotes collagen/elastin production by 33%.
One more consideration you need to take into account before
purchasing a stretch mark product is the product ingredients.
The most dangerous products to use during pregnancy and in the
abdominal area include an ingredient called a paraben.
99% of all cosmetic companies use Parabens to preserve their
products since they are an easy and inexpensive means of

Striaex contains only natural ingredients and no parabens,
sulfates, synthetic scents or artificial colors. All
Striaex products are self preserving.
A:
Even
though Striaex is extremely effective in combating and
preventing stretch marks, it is very gentle. Striaex can
be used on all skin types of all ages.
