New over-the-counter formulations
Manufacturers are hurrying to introduce OTCs that have unique or enhanced formulations. Here's a roundup of the latest offerings:
Supplements and vitamins
Centrum Performance has also been reformulated to provide more absorbable forms of key nutrients. Centrum Silver for adults 50 plus contains more vitamin C, vitamin E, and selenium to help support immune function.
Skin care
L'Oréal is also debuting Revitalift UV with Mexoryl SX (ecamsule) for UVA protection. The daily moisturizing cream with sunscreen has an SPF of 15. The firm claims the moisturizer's new sun filter provides exceptional protection against the UVA rays that cause skin damage year-round, even through windows and clouds.
