RéVive

Parent company: Tengram Capital Partners (acquired from Shiseido  in December 2017)
  • Founder:  Dr. Gregory Bays Brown, a Louisville surgeon, who began researching bioengineered molecules that could stimulate wound healing in a laboratory at the University of Louisville and subsequently at Emory University and Vanderbilt University.
  • RéVive was acquired by Gurwich Partners which in 2016  sold the brand to Shiseido as part of the Laura Mercier deal. A year later it was bought by Tengram, which also owns Lime Crime, Cos Bar and Algenist. 
  • Today, Bluemercury is ReVive's biggest retail partner.

In 1997, RéVive launched with one product, its Moisturizing Renewal Cream, which was sold exclusively with Neiman Marcus. The nightly retexturizing moisturizer quickly became a fan favorite and catapulted the brand into the luxury skincare spotlight. Three years later, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman and other high-end stores and boutiques had added the Louisville-based product to their shelves.

RéVive has expanded to include 40 products and brings in close to $100 million a year.

Inspired by the research Brown conducted in Louisville, today RéVive products are formulated with Bio-Renewal Technology, which refers to skin-identical, ethically created Epidermal Growth Factor peptides.
