How to Apply: Best Uses

ACNE SCARS

1. Apply RETINOL 1.0 DROPS once (1x) per week, evenings. Spread with CALMING MIST.
2. After two weeks you may add 302 DROPS three times (3x) per week.
3. Complete smoothing takes several months but noticeable change occurs within first month.
4. Minimize use of other leave-on products. Avoid makeup,  moisturizers and sunblock.
5. Whenever 302 DROPS is in play, exfoliating can be destabilizing. Use only very mild products and very infrequently exfoliate.
6. Discontinue entire regime for 7 days every month. Let skin rest, cleanse and leave-on REVIVE only.

TIP: Instead of CALMING MIST, use REVIVE to spread RETINOL 1.0 DROPS. Use REVIVE as a cleanser and a leave-on moisturizer to help keep visible blemishes in check.
VISIBLE AGING

2. After two weeks you may add VITAMIN C 12.5 DROPS once (1x) per week, evenings.

5. If you have all three actives in play, limit every active to once (1x) per week application.
6. CERAMIDE SERUM or HYALURONIC GEL also would be excellent choices to use once or twice per week with RETINOL 1.0  DROPS.
7. NEVER have more than three actives in play during a week. Limit every active to once per week to keep skin fresh and not saturated if three are in play.
8. Minimize other products, especially makeup and moisturizers, avoid sunblock chemistry. Use REVIVE as cleanser, alternate with other cleanser, like 302 CLEANSER. Use REVIVE as moisturizer, too, especially if skin is unstable.

For your skin if these conditions exist:

• Exfoliating acids usage is infrequent during the last 30 days
• Benzoyl peroxide free for 30 days
• Not inflamed or visibly unstable
• Sensitive but not visibly unstable
• Light to average makeup usage

Not for your skin if these conditions exist:

• Inflamed, unstable skin
• Unusual oral medications causing skin instability (i.e. chemo, cortisones, thyroid meds) may cause erratic skin behavior.

Recommended frequency of use:

• Once (1x) per week (observe and adjust)
• After one month discontinue current active(s) regimen and allow skin to rest for a 7-10 days before resuming. This will allow skin reactions further out to be fresh and not weakened by over frequent or prolonged application periods.
