Hey runner,

The 100th Comrades is on Sunday 13 June 2027. The plan is written, the shoes are chosen, the long runs are in the diary.

But what’s the plan for your biggest organ?

Your skin comes with you through every sunrise long run, every five-o’clock time trial, every hour of a Highveld summer. And unlike your quads, it doesn’t recover just because you slept well.

You start losing collagen at 25 - about 1% a year from your mid-twenties, whether you train or not. The part you can control is sun protection. UV switches on the enzymes that cut collagen apart, even before you burn.

High-performance skincare developed by a pharmacist with a PhD in phytomedicine, using clinically proven ingredients that work as hard as you do.

Actives that actually do something:

RetinART™ - supporting collagen rebuilding without the peeling.

Vitamin C 15% - with ferulic acid to support collagen production and photoprotection.

Exometics™ G - vegan biomimetic exosomes that support collagen and elastin.

Lots of actives. For active people.

Stay active. Stay smart. Stay glowing.

- Dr Joan van Wyngaard, pharmacist, formulator and runner.

A range developed by an active pharmacist, for active people. Made in George, Western Cape.

Nick Bester - National manager of the Nedbank Running Clubs ,Comrades ,Ironman and Ultraman winner says “ For years I was neglecting to look after ,nurture and maintain the largest organ on the human body ,My skin! Since using Vitant Skincare products I can feel and see a remarkable improvement and very happy that I did not leave it too late.
