Every Skin Synergy formula is built on a rigorous multi-stage development process guided by scientific principles and clinical relevance.
Our goal is to release not just a product, but to achieve excellence that really works and helps patients.
To achieve this, we created our proprietary FAVOTECH® development technology, where every stage
is dedicated to creating products that become a trusted choice for practicing professionals.
FAVOTECH® is an eight-stage development technology designed to identify the best evidence-based solution at every step.
We carefully control every stage of development – from understanding the real needs of skincare professionals to blind evaluation of the final formula.

Collecting and analyzing the needs of practicing cosmetologists
Every development begins with a clinical need.
We conduct in-depth interviews, discuss real clinical cases and collect feedback from practicing professionals to identify current challenges and areas where existing solutions remain insufficient.
Outcome: defining the key clinical objectives and performance criteria for the future product.

Market & Competitive Analysis
Next, we analyze the current situation in the segment: which products are already available, which solutions are dominant, which formulas are used and which gaps exist.
Outcome: a clear understanding of where we can strengthen, supplement or propose a fundamentally new solution.

Market research of cosmetic active ingredients
We continuously monitor the global market of cosmetic raw materials – from leading international manufacturers to innovative specialty laboratories.
When selecting active ingredients, we evaluate not only efficacy but also:
Outcome: selection of highly effective, evidence-supported ingredients with optimal compatibility.
When selecting active ingredients, we evaluate not only efficacy but also:
- stabilization technology;
- bioavailability;
- dosage form;
- formulation stability;
- compatibility with other ingredients.
Outcome: selection of highly effective, evidence-supported ingredients with optimal compatibility.

Toxicological, Allergen & Clinical Assessment of Ingredients
At this stage, every ingredient undergoes a comprehensive safety assessment.
We analyze toxicological profiles, irritation potential, sensitization risk, phototoxicity
and possible interactions between ingredients.
Outcome: eliminating questionable or potentially unsafe ingredients before formulation development begins.

Creating prototypes with the development team
Based on all collected data, our R&D team prepares a detailed technical dossier specifying:
and cascade mechanisms of action.
Such approach provides a pronounced effect while maintaining the physiology of the formula.
Outcome: a complete dossier that allows us to develop a product that meets the doctor's expectations and prototypes development.
- the clinical objective of the product;
- ingredient composition and scientific rationale;
- desired texture, pH and sensory profile;
- usage recommendations and compatibility with other products.

Stability Testing
Each prototype undergoes an extensive stability testing program.
The prototype undergoes a series of stability tests: resistance to changes in temperature, humidity, light and time is checked. We analyze for physical stability, changes in texture, activity, and pH.
Outcome: a formula that maintains its efficacy throughout its entire shelf life.

Blind Testing with Skincare Professionals
The final stage is blind testing under real clinical conditions.
Professionals evaluate the products without knowing the formulation or brand, ensuring an unbiased assessment.
The testing always includes the strongest comparable products currently available on the market, allowing objective benchmarking under identical conditions.
We collect comprehensive feedback regarding application, skin feel, patient response, compatibility with other products and performance within professional treatment protocols.
Outcome: an independent expert assessment of the effectiveness and comfort of application in real practice.
