StriVectin

StriVectin launched in 2002 with a single product -- a stretch mark cream that consumers discovered also dramatically improved the appearance of facial wrinkles. The accidental crossover from body care to anti-aging made StriVectin a sensation, with the tagline 'Better than Botox?' driving enormous consumer interest. The brand pivoted to focus primarily on anti-aging facial skincare, developing its proprietary NIA-114 technology -- a patented form of niacin (vitamin B3) that the brand claims offers enhanced bioavailability compared to standard niacinamide. StriVectin has invested in clinical research on NIA-114 and holds multiple patents related to its delivery technology. The brand is sold through department stores, Ulta, and its own website.

Brand Philosophy

StriVectin's philosophy centers on its proprietary NIA-114 niacin technology as a superior approach to skin barrier repair and anti-aging.

StriVectin positions itself in the clinical prestige space, where results-driven consumers expect both proprietary technology and proof.
