History
Vitacreme B12, The first vitamin B12 based cosmetic cream launched on the market
Our company started its distribution activities in Switzerland and abroad in 1999 under the individual
corporate name OPTIMA COSMETIC D. VIETTO. In February 2010 the status of the individual company
changed to be the limited company DARVIDIS SA. It was founded in Switzerland in Boussens, a small village
in Vaud at the heard of our country.
The quality and effectiveness of our products, which is unanimously acknowledged, has allowed the
VITACREME B12 brand to attain the success which it currently enjoys. Interest in the brand has continued
to grow on the export market, particularly in Asian countries and especially in Japan, a country known for
being one of the most difficult markets in the world, where the Regenerative Cream has become one of
the most sold products. The success of our products is continuing to grow in this country, which is the best
representative of the brand in the world. The Japanese success has been echoed in the surrounding
countries and new distributors are interested in the brand.
The formulations comply with the international legislation and cosmetic directives.
Nowadays the VITACREME B12 product range is distributed in the majority of the leading countries
worldwide by means of various distribution channels. These excellent results have encouraged other
countries to distribute the product. The brand is currently known and sold in 30 countries throughout the
world. It is registered in Switzerland under the number IFPI 329924 and internationally under the no. WIPO
873238. VITACREME B12 is recognised and bears the quality label SWISS LABEL.
To date, the brand VITACREME B12 is registered and protected in 35 countries.
Vitamin B12 features
The eutrophic activity of Vitamin B12, administered through general way, is well known.
The pharmacological studies have shown that vitamin B12, when applied in percutaneous application,
increases the elasticity of tissue by promoting the reorganization of the network of elastin fibres and the
production of collagen fibres, thin and regular. This action has the overall effect of “rejuvenation of the skin”.
The result of these pharmacological studies have been corroborated by clinical tests conducted with the
regenerative cream VITACREME B12: very significant reduction of wrinkles and folds of skin, significant
improvements in elasticity and suppleness of the skin, significant correction of dry skin.
About VITACREME B 12
VITACREME B12 was the first cosmetic cream containing Vitamin B12 on the market.
The basic ingredient, guiding of all VITACREME B12 products, is the vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin). Depending on the product and its application, other valuable active ingredients enriched the formulations for an improved efficiency.
The formulations comply with the international legislation and cosmetic directives. The finished products are tested and under permanent supervision of the Swiss Vitamin Institute.

Part of the clinical study
The aim of the study is to try and demonstrate in human beings the specific properties of vitamin B12, administrated in skin application, on the elasticity of the skin and on its general eutrophic condition.
The pharmacological studies have shown that vitamin B12, when used in such conditions, increases the elasticity of the integument by promoting the reorganisation of the network of elastin fibres and the production of thin and even collagen fibres.
Criteria set :
- Pigmentation and freckles
- Wrinkles and skin folds
- Elasticity
- Dryness
- Thickness of the skin folds
Part of the clinical study (2)
The statistical analysis, using a pre-formatted programme and analysed by computer, gives the following
results :
Pigmentation / Freckles : there is no valid statistical difference between the areas treated with the B12 cream, the placebo and the untreated areas.
Wrinkles and skin folds : the B12 cream reduces, to a very significant degree, the importance of the wrinkles skin folds, when compared to the placebo and the untreated areas.
Elasticity : the B12 cream significantly improves the elasticity of the skin when compared to the areas treated with the placebo and the untreated areas.
Dryness : the B12 cream corrects, in a very significant manner, the dryness of the skin compared to the areas treated with the placebo and the untreated areas.
Thickness of the skin folds : given the fact that variations between individuals are greater than the variations between groups, the increase in the thickness of the skin folds increases significantly in the areas treated with B12 cream compared with the areas treated with the placebo. This increase is nevertheless not significant in comparison to the untreated areas.
Part of the clinical study (3)
Conclusions
If we take up the conclusions of the pharmacological study which has revealed that Vitamin B12 acts predominantly at
the level of the elastic fibrils, the clinical results that we report are in complete agreement. Moreover, we have been able
to show an improvement, as a result of the use of Vitamin B12, of the hydrophilic skin condition by correcting its initial
dryness.
Vitamin B12, when administrated by percutaneous method, corrects one of the basic stigmas of skin ageing, and
therefore opens up a new way in the preventive as well as the curative areas of skin ageing.

The product was appreciated by the subjects for its properties (easy application and penetration, non sticky effect) and its efficiency. The product leaves the skin moisturized, comfortable, soft, smooth, firm and younger. Improvement in skin aspect, tensor, anti-wrinkle and lifting effects, less visible marks of tiredness, wrinkles and fine lines gummed.

Before After
Tests on wrinkles caused by age
The regenerative cream VITACREME B12 used for these tests was applied daily during 7 weeks, on 100 persons, aged between 20 and 60 years old and over, with dry, mixed and oily skins. The cream penetrated easily neither too greasy nor too dry. The cream is rapidly absorbed and does not make any shine in the sun.
Results of the tests
In 25 % of the cases SPECTACULAR IMPROVEMENT.
Important tightening up of the skin around the neck and the face oval, reduction of the depth of the wrinkles, softer skin and the cheek wrinkles had disappeared.
In 40 % of the cases VISIBLE IMPROVEMENT.
Skin with a satisfactory moisture content, the skin is more elastic with a tightening of the tissues of the neck skin.
In 35 % of the cases IMPROVEMENT IN THE MOISTURE LEVEL of the skin and in the elasticity of the tissues.
IN CONCLUSION, THE RESULTS ARE REMARKABLE. In all cases the action of VITACREME B12 takes effect very rapidly. The effects are clearly visible after the first week of the treatment. The results are most satisfactory concerning the elasticity of the skin tissues and the skin moisture.
In general, the clinical tests confirm a stimulation of the biosynthesis in the connective tissues of the dermis and particularly a stimulating action with a reconstitution of elastin in the intermediate dermo-epidermal zone.
CLINICAL TESTS ON SUNBURNS
ALPINE CAMP ON THE MONT-BLANC
Altitude 2600 metres
Tested persons Instructors of the French Alpine Club (14 participants) Mountain guides Amateur climbers and young trainees
The test results were recorded by the camp’s medical unit (3 doctors)
The skin of the guides and instructors is dry, thick and slightly wrinkled. The injuries are superficial skin lesions caused by overexposure to ultraviolet rays encountered at high altitude. The lesions were aggravated by the climate, time spent on the glaciers, wind and extreme cold at high altitude. The lesions are characterised by sun rashes, possibly with blister and/or desquamation (shedding of skin).
VITACREME B12 was applied on all individuals suffering from skin lesions. After several days of application of VITACREME B12 on
The individuals with light burnt and dry skin : Rapid normalization, skin becomes more supple, desquamation stopped. Feeling of burn rapidly eased, suntan improvement, epidermal moisture level re-established.
The individuals with signs of burnt skin, wrinkled and peeling : Skin had gradual improvement of the smoothness of the skin. Reduction of wrinkles, desquamation stopped, burns soothed.
The individuals who had in advance applied VITACREME B12 for prevention : The treated areas remained soft and moist. No desquamation.
A considerable reduction and/or rapid improvement of the lesions caused by ultraviolet rays was found.
