Neova SmartSkincare is amongst the first clinical skincare brands to make the association between DNA damage and premature skin ageing.
Inspired by the revolutionary science of cellular regeneration and groundbreaking DNA research, Neova’s patented formulas revitalise ageing skin, targeting the root cause of skin ageing rather than just the symptoms.
The scientists at Neova identified the types of DNA damage that, if not repaired quickly, can become permanent and added DNA repair enzymes known as Photolysomes, Endosomes and Mitosomes.
NEOVA was founded thanks to three Virginia-based scientists who discovered the copper peptide GHK in 1980. Their research revealed that derivatives of the GHK-Cu peptide had potent anticancer activity by way of wound healing, which involves the induction of cell growth – a target for anti-cancer compounds.
With further research, the association of damaged DNA to premature skin ageing and cancer was made. In 2010, after more than 20 years of discovery, DNA CoFactor – the patented DNA repair and signature copper peptide technology coalition – was introduced and Neova SmartSkincare was launched.
Phase 1 of the Neova launch includes the Correction range, Cu3 Recovery range and the Silc Sheer SPF50. The Prejuvenation range will launch May/June 2025 to coincide with acne awareness month.
