In the modern society, looking and feeling good become a priority that affect one’s self-worth and confidence. To capture the image of vibrant and radiant health, billions of dollars are poured into research to develop skincare and cosmetics with the objective of transforming beauty into every single individual with imperfections (any perfect one around?). To-date, expectations are still running high but the satisfaction levels remain low. Why?
Majority of the manufacturers are focused on churning out inexpensive and chemically-based synthetics to maximise profits. The general public had to be contented with two choices for looking youthful – cosmetic make-up or surgery.
New invention
A new revolutionary process, coined COSMOCEUTICALS (cosmetics of pharmaceutical standard) emerges based on the technology of CHIRALITY, founded on established pharmaceutical science, which was discovered over 150 years ago by Lord Kevin, Professor of Natural Philosophy in the University of Glasgow, but never fully realised in cosmetics or skincare use. However, this term is loosely defined as hybrid products, derived from cosmetics and drugs to treat or prevent skin disease.Toujour La Vie Experience
Introduce the Toujour La Vie (TLV) series of anti-aging cosmoceuticals which promotes healthy, vibrant and youthful-looking skin, focused on natural, plant-based ingredients and concentrated formulas as it makes a successful debut into the beauty industry.
As in the VIVA line of NUTRACEUTICALS (nutrients of pharmaceutical standard) supplements, science plays an integral role in the formulation of this upscale daily facial treatment system which may be your answer to skincare maintenance, enhancement and treatment purpose.* What Science involved?
The system sets it apart from popular department store lines, salon formulations and other high-end markets. Whilst typical skincare systems are studied to the cellular level, it focuses deeper to the molecular level. Imagine about 10000 human cells covering the head of a pin and each cell is composed of trillion of molecules.
Molecules that make up living systems such as human beings are chiral. Chirality is the orientation or spin direction of a molecule that enables it to fit into a living cell receptor. TLV formulas are chirally correct, meaning that they contain molecules that spin in the appropriate direction.
To allow the ingredients involved to sink in the targeted skin’s receptor properly, they have to be purified to remove ineffective or harmful molecules. This rapid response enables visible results to be achieved safely and effectively. In fact, a non-chirally balanced formula may not perform as well, and likely to have a neutral or even negative effect on the skin.
* Ingredients
Every detail is observed in the Toujours system for maximum benefits. For example, each ingredient has been carefully selected from a natural source. There are no petrochemical preservatives (petroleum), synthetics or other toxic offenders in any of the products. The naturally aroma-therapeutic benefits are produced by essential oils instead of artificial fragrances or colors. As the ingredients are so highly concentrated, a tiny amount of each item is sufficient to provide ample coverage and the rejuvenating vitality of a youthful appearance.
* Versatility
Given the products’ potencies with their finest ingredients in concentrated formulas and an effective delivery system (chiral technology), the entire range of selection benefit all skin types including normal, dry, oily, combination and sensitive skin (see below). Routines can be varied and adjusted to suit various individual needs, climates and seasons. Men would find this series most useful as they are inclined to purchase few anti-aging skincare products usually associated with makeup and cosmetics.
* Products

#5 REFINE – Evening Moisturizer (Evening Step 3)
Pores are formed by a folding-in of the epidermis into the dermis. The skin cells that line the pore (keratinocytes) are continuously shed, and when mixed with sebum clog the pore further. This is the precursor to acne. If oil builds up inside pores, or if tissue surrounding the pore becomes agitated, they may appear larger.
Blanket your skin with silky nutrients that promote youth enhancing activities while you sleep. This formulation gently exfoliates dead skin cells with non-chemically buffered 8% L-lactic acid, while it decongests and tightens pores, reducing the visible signs of aging. This pampering formula helps to strengthen the skin by keeping the collagen fibrils from becoming brittle as it sips in moisture throughout the night. As a result of conditioning the epidermal cells, you will awaken with softer, smoother, more resilient skin and reduced fine lines and wrinkles.Ingredients: Distilled water, milk capilic/capric triglycerides, milk caprilate/capric, cetearyl alcohol, polysorbate 60, PEG 150 stearate, L-lactic acid, shea butter, D-beta-glucosamine, aminoguanidine, essential oils, grape seed extract, jasminol.

USAGE GUIDE
+ Anti-aging home peel. Use Revive (1), Refresh (2) and Rebuild (3) in the morning and Restore (4), Refresh (2) and Refine (5) in the evening. Beginners may need to adopt this regime for a maximum of 4 weeks at a time and let the skin rests for at least 2-3 weeks before repeating the cycle. If any serious breakout occurs, discontinue using Revive (1) and Refine (5) while skin is actively peeling. Whilst undergoing any exfoliation procedure, avoid sun exposure as skin peeling can cause hyper-pigmentation.
+ Normal/Dry/Sensitive/Combination skin. The skin is dry and dehydrated with dull tone, fine lines and flakes usually due to a declining function of sebaceous glands. As a result, wrinkles and age spots are easily formed. Extra protection is required and may need to repair and rehydrate to plump out fine lines and change the skin texture soft and supple.
Use Restore (4), Refresh (2) and Rebuild (3) daily in the morning and evening. For anti-aging benefits, apply Refine (5) in the evening in place of Rebuild 4-5 times a week. When skin needs extra exfoliation, wash with Revive (1) in the morning in place of Restore (4) 2-3 times a week and occasional use for those with dry/sensitive skin.
For extra protection, apply the sun block, RENEW. If there is any pigmentation and uneven skin tone, apply brightening serum REVEAL in the night. Mask REJUVENATE can boost the skin's moisture level quickly.
+ Oily/Problem skin. Oily skin is often due to overproduction of sebum, large pores or blackheads, and most prone to acne. Poor resistance makes it vulnerable to viral infection. Thus, regular cleansing is needed to maintain the right pH balance of the skin.
Use Revive (1), Refresh (2) and Rebuild (3) daily in the morning to follow by Restore (4), Refresh and Rebuild (3) daily in the evening. Make sure only tiny amount of Rebuild is used after misting from toner and before drying out. Oily skin has to be treated with care to prevent oil glands from secreting more sebum.
For anti-aging benefits, apply Refine (5) in the evening in place of Rebuild occasionally.
Also avoid foods that are fatty, oily and sugary. Opt for more alkaline and fiber food instead.
+ Enlarged pores
- Detox with Regenerate clarifying mask to eliminate toxins for a refreshing complexion
- Reduce and regulate with Refresh detoxifying toner to soften, dissolve and regulate serum
- Tighten the skin with Refine Evening Moisturizer
+ Dull, rough skin
- Give the skin a mild yet deep cleansing with Restore betapure liquid.
- Keep bacteria at bay with Regenerate clarifying mask as it provides anti-bacterial and soothing ingredients.
+ Parched skin
- Quench and hydrate the skin with Rebuild serum protein complex
- Stimulate cell turnover with nourishment and lock in moisture overnight with Refine evening moisturizer
More comments
+ As all the products do not use chemical preservatives, they need to be stored properly to ensure a maximum shelf life. The bottles should always be tightly closed and place in a cool, dry area away from heat and constant moisture.
+ With appropriate usage amounts, the products can last at least 2 months. Application and frequency of use will vary with different skin types. Hence, it is cost-effective compared to most of the brands out there.
