PRODUCT INFORMATION SHEET |
| Product
Purpose: To digest dead skin cells, increase
cellular turnover, and help control Acne P bacteria. |
Product
Benefits: These pads are designed to exfoliate the
dead skin cells, assisting in cellular turnover. They will
resurface the skin, provide a more even skin tone, help control
the Acne p bacteria causing breakouts, alleviate congested
skin, and reduce appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Excellent
for mature and acne skin types.
Directions:
Apply Step (1) pad either a.m. or p.m. over entire face (avoid
the eye and lip areas). Leave on 10 minutes. NOTE: do not
rinse. Proceed with Step 2 pad, which is the neutralizer and
NOTE: do not rinse. You may now continue with your daily skin
care regimen suggested by your skin care specialist.
Key
Ingredients:
Salicylic
Acid 2% - Has keratolytic activity. Increases cell
turnover. It is both lipid (fat) and oil soluble, thus it
can penetrate through the sebum in the follicle. It helps
to dissolve the top layer of corneum cells, improves the look
and feel of the skin, and has antiseptic properties. Used
daily it assists in reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.
Lactic
Acid – A multipurpose ingredient used as an
exfoliant and moisturizer and acts as a preservative. It is
a component of the skin’s natural moisturizing factor
that has the ability to increase the water-holding capacity
of the corneum layer.
Glycolic
Acid – Reduces corneocyte cohesion and corneum
layer thickening where excess dead skin cell buildup can be
associated with many common skin problems. It acts by dissolving
the intercellular cement responsible for abnormal keratinization.
It improves the skin hydration by enhanced moisture uptake
as well as increased binding of water to the stratum corneum
(top layer of skin).
Malic
Acid – Has keratolytic activity.
Witch
Hazel Extract – Acts as an astringent for toning
and cleansing.

PRODUCT INFORMATION SHEET |
| Purpose
of the Product: These professional strength peels
are designed to aid in refining fine lines, dislodge comedones,

Product
Benefits: Available in two strengths. This unique
combination of glycolic acid and salicylic acid will enhance
the turnover of cells in the epidermis resulting in the gentle
exfoliation of dead skin. The skin will feel smoother due
to the exposure of younger, healthier skin cells and will
develop a more even skin tone. Collagen and elastin will proliferate
in the dermal layer, resulting in the refinement of fine lines.
Re-hydration is also a benefit of the use of this product.

Key
Ingredients:
Astaxanthin:
An anti-inflammatory antioxidant, derived from the carotenoid
family. Studies show that it has stronger antioxidant activity
(10 times higher than beta-carotene), and can be more than
100 times more effective as antioxidant than Vitamin E. The
highest percentage of astaxanthin appears to come from the
micro-algae (Haematococcus pluvialis) found in Hawaiian waters.
NOTE:
Astaxanthin comes in a concentrated oil form and costs approximately
$1,800 per pound, similar to Vitamin K. High percentages of
astaxanthin can be found in foods such as salmon or shrimp.
It is even considered as essential to normal growth and survival,
and has been attributed vitamin–like properties. It
is taken as an oral supplement to provide energy, fight oxidative
stress, and free radical damage. Found in plants and micro
algae.
Caviar
Extract: Contains micro-nutrients to feed and nourish
the skin, improves elasticity, skin appears to be firmer and
more supple. Excellent for oily and mature dehydrated skins
in need of revitaliztion.
NOTE:
Caviar extract includes vitamins A,D,E,B1, B2, and B6. Contains
constituents including cobalt, copper, iodine, iron, magnesium
silicium and zinc. Amino acids present are glutamic acid,
glycine, methionine, lysine, arginine, histidine, and aspartic
acid. Caviar also has essential and sulfured amino acids and
unsaturated fatty acids.
Palmitoyl
Pentapeptide: A lipophilic peptide that counteracts
lines and wrinkles. Proven to stimulate collagen synthesis,
produces long lasting moisture retention, and smoothes the
skin.
NOTE:
In Paris France, July 2, 2002, results of a random double-blind
trial suggests palmitoyl pentapeptide improves the appearance
of photo-damaged facial skin. Dr. Larry Robinson, with Procter
& Gamble, Ohio, US, presented the findings at the Congress
of Dermatology. Self-assessment data indicated that the peptide
formula showed improvements in the appearance of age spots,
circles under the eyes, and skin firmness. Overall, the results
suggest that palmitoyl pentapeptide reduces the appearance
of photo-aged skin both by standardized measures and self-assessment.
Retinol:
A natural anti-aging ingredient that helps diminish and eliminate
appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Retinol is responsible
for anti-keratinization, improves skin’s elasticity,
assists in the normalization of dry, patched skin, and improves
photodamage.

assists with tissue repair. Utilized in almost every living
cell in the body. Third most abundant trace mineral element
