From nature to award winning patented formula 

In 2012, Professor Shinya Yamanaka received the Nobel Prize for demonstrating that stem cells could go back in time, capable of regenerating tissues.  His work opened a new scientific era, and laid the foundation for targeting dermal stem cells, the “mother cells” behind skin regeneration.

Building on these Nobel Prize–winning insights, Dr. LEVY Switzerland® developed its breakthrough formula through over 15 years of stem cell research led personally by Dr. Phillip Levy. Now protected by an international medical patent, this innovation emerged through a series of key scientific stages, from exploring nature’s most potent regenerative mechanisms to refining them with advanced biotechnology.

Discover the essential milestones that shaped this journey, from nature to our award-winning patented formula.

The Root of Activation

1. Argan CDV™

The journey begins with Argan CDV™, a rare extract derived from stem cells found in the roots of the argan tree. 

It is 100% exclusive to Dr. LEVY Switzerland®.  
Developed using advanced plant biotechnology, Argan CDV™ is the first plant-derived molecule clinically shown to reactivate dermal stem cells, the mother cells responsible for producing collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, and to preserve their regenerative power over time. 

Precision Delivery for Long-Lasting Results

2. More than an ingredient

For real results, it's not just about how pure or concentrated the ingredient is, it's also about delivering it exactly where your skin needs it most.

Crafted in Switzerland, Argan CDV™ is delivered through an advanced double vector liposome, reaching the skin’s regenerative stem cells, the source of collagen and elastin renewal.

A Synergistic Blend

3. The ArganCellActiv® Complex

Argan CDV™ is combined with high-performance actives to form the ArganCellActiv® Complex, a precisely calibrated blend engineered
to amplify dermal stem cell activity, nourish them with vital nutrients,
and protect their long-term regenerative power.

This synergistic approach helps stimulate the natural production
of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, visibly improving skin
firmness, smoothness, and resilience.
