Facts from ANESI LAB (anesilab.com).

Why do skin therapists choose ANESI LAB?

1. Cosmeceutical formulas that deliver visible results

ANESI LAB's research and development team selects active ingredients for their potency and effectiveness. Clinically proven biotechnological and botanical actives are blended and encapsulated for time-release action, so the skin keeps benefiting long after the treatment ends.

2. Pharmaceutical-grade quality

ANESI LAB is formulated in DRV's own laboratories, which are certified to ISO 9001 and GMP pharmaceutical standards, and made in its own facilities in Spain. The company controls quality from formula to finished product.

3. A solution for every skin concern

Rather than one product for everyone, ANESI LAB is built as targeted ranges, each with a clear job. That makes consultations simple: identify the concern, then choose the range.

ANESI LAB ranges by skin concern: Aqua Vital hydration, Epigenesse age correction, Cellular 3 age control, Harmony sensitive skin, Luminosity pigmentation, 3C Vitamin Glow radiance, Dermo Control blemishes, Urban Defense protection, Fresh Mix Jelly boosters, Expression eye care, Man Secret and Silhouette body

4. Professional treatments plus home care

Every key range has professional treatment kits for the salon and retail products for home care. Your clients get a result in the treatment room, then protect it at home with the same range, which builds both rebookings and retail sales.

5. Training and support from expert therapists

ANESI LAB promises training and support from its expert therapists, and in South Africa that support comes from Lime Light's trainers, branches and reps.
