ReVive

ReVive was founded in 1997 by Dr. Gregory Bays Brown, a plastic surgeon in Louisville, Kentucky who was researching the use of Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) for wound healing in burn patients. Dr. Brown discovered that the same growth factors that accelerated surgical wound healing could dramatically improve the appearance of aging skin, and he developed a proprietary bio-renewal technology to deliver these growth factors in cosmetic skincare. ReVive was among the first luxury brands to bring growth factor technology from the medical field into consumer anti-aging products. The brand's Moisturizing Renewal Cream, powered by bio-engineered EGF, remains its hero product. ReVive occupies the ultra-luxury tier and is sold through Nordstrom, Bergdorf Goodman, and its own website.

Brand Philosophy

ReVive's philosophy is that the most advanced anti-aging ingredients should come from clinical medicine, not cosmetic chemistry. The brand's bio-renewal technology uses the same EGF science that heals surgical wounds to stimulate cellular turnover and renewal in aging skin. Every product is built on this medical foundation, with formulations designed by a practicing surgeon who understands skin biology at a clinical level. The ultra-luxury positioning reflects the cost and complexity of growth factor technology.

Who It's For

Luxury consumers seeking medically-grounded anti-aging technology. Best for mature skin seeking growth factor-based renewal, and anyone who trusts physician-developed formulations over marketing-driven skincare.
