New Product Brings the Benefits of Skin Typing and Skin Analysis from the Spa to
the Consumer`s Home


AUSTIN, Texas--(Business Wire)--
Reveal Sciences, LLC, a cosmetics and aesthetics innovation company pioneering
breakthrough skin care diagnostics, has announced the launch of the new consumer
At-Home Skin Typing and Analysis Kit. Developed by physician Damon Borich, M.D.,
CEO of Reveal Sciences, and his scientific team, the novel skincare analysis
technology is the next-generation spin-off from the company`s professional grade
CareTypeTM Analysis System (www.mycaretype.com) sold in spas, salons and the
professional healthcare industry. The At-Home Skin Typing and Analysis Kit
provides consumers access to the latest in skincare science in an easy and
affordable way. 

Unlike industry standard online surveys and non-scientific skin analysis
methods, the At-Home Skin Analysis Kit consists of three simple-to-use
disposable skin tests that measure hydration, consistency, pore size and oil
output. The individual consumer enters the test results into an online skin
consultation website www.mydailyskinrx.com where a custom skincare regimen is
produced for each user. With the purchase of the At-Home Skin Analysis Kit
consumers gain access to more than 3,000 professional spa and salon products at
discounts of up to 20%. 

Reveal Sciences is currently marketing the skin analysis kit directly and
through the website www.mydailyskinrx.com, "The Everyday Choice for Discount
Professional Skincare Products." The company anticipates having distribution
channels in retail stores in 2010. Future At-Home kits will focus on monitoring
additional parameters that affect aging of the skin and overall skin wellness as
well as specific conditions such as acne, psoriasis, rosacea, and premature
aging. 

Reveal`s CEO Dr. Damon Borich comments, "Our skin testing kits are a very
affordable way for consumers interested in improving their skin to find products
that actually work for them. The kits eliminate the expensive, time-consuming,
trial and error guesswork method of buying various products in the hopes that
something will work for their skin. For less than $10 consumers can have a
mini-skin consultation in the privacy of their home and then have proven
products shipped right to their door at a significant discount." 

Reveal Sciences anticipates that individuals suffering from acne, chronic
dryness or skin irritation, psoriasis, oily skin, age spots, and other common
skin conditions will benefit substantially from the quick and easy test kit.
Added Dr. Borich, "Being able to actually monitor how your skin is improving
under a particular skin care regimen is something that consumers have not been
able to do and the At-Home Skin Typing and Analysis Kit allows them to do so."
