Day Preventive and Night Repair Treatments

Introduction to the Advance Collection

The ADVANCE collection renews vibrancy in healthy skin by reversing skin damage and preventing signs of aging. The Day Preventive Treatment protects your skin from additional damage that can occur throughout the day while the Night Repair Treatment corrects damage that has already been done. After a 28 day study using our Essential and Advance Collections, participants agreed their skin looked brighter and more radiant, skin texture improved, redness reduced and fine lines were reduced. You can see the amazing before and after results here.  As a dermatologist who is given hundreds of products to try every year, these are the treatments I use everyday because they really work. I get amazing results without irritation, which is a rare combination.

 

 

Day Preventive Treatment


How to Use:

The Day Preventive Treatment is designed to be used in the morning on bare skin before you put on your moisturizer.  You can use it on your face, eyelids, neck and chest but you do not need a lot. I use one pump on my face, and one pump for my neck and chest.  Remaining serum on your fingertips can be applied to the back of your hands or anywhere that's going to be exposed to sunlight or the elements of the day.

What’s In It:

It has three very powerful antioxidant ingredients, which prevent damaging UV rays and pollutants from breaking down your collagen and elastin by absorbing the free radicals (aka bad stuff) themselves. However, it is not a replacement for sunscreen but in addition to. Antioxidants protect your skin from free radicals created by Ultraviolet light (the sun) as well blue light and pollution. In comparison sunscreen protects your skin from UV light that leads to the formation of free radicals. 


Vitamin C (10%): Vitamin C comes in many forms, each with their pros and cons.  We use Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate because it is a lipid soluble form of vitamin C that is stable and less irritating to the skin than L- ascorbic acid. 
Acetyl zingerone (1%):  Derived from ginger, it is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ingredient that stimulates collagen retention and production, calms redness and improves the long term effectiveness of tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate.
Bis (Cyano Butylacetate) Anthracenediylidene (0.5%): This is remarkably effective pre-antioxidant prevents the free radicals from even forming while Vit C and acetyl zingerone collect the free radicals once they are formed. In studies, people who used 0.5% then went in the sun had less damage to their skin than people who did not use and did not go in the sun. That's how powerful it is.

If You Have Sensitive Skin:

This is a powerful product and although it is formulated for sensitive skin that does NOT mean you can or should use this product every day. It should NOT be used when your skin is irritated, during active rosacea or eczema flares and while skin is healing. People with very sensitive skin should start using it every other day and always follow with a moisturizer and then sunscreen. 

 

Night Repair Treatment

How to Use:

The Night Repair Treatment is designed to be used at night to promote cell turnover and correct skin damage including fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, pigment and large pores. Use it at night, on clean skin before you put on your moisturizer. Apply a small amount to your face, eyelids, neck and chest. I use one pump on my face, and one pump for my neck and chest. Always follow with a supportive moisturizer. I often use it on my arms and hands to fight crepiness and sun damage there as well. 


What’s In It:

It has three ingredients to promote cell turnover to stimulate the correction of sun damage, build collagen, soften lines, lighten uneven pigmentation, smooth texture and decrease the appearance of pores. These actives are then combined in a highly supportive combination of squalane, shea butter and glycerin to improve tolerability as they work. While it has hydrating ingredients, it is not a moisturizer.


Bakuchiol: A bio-retinol that works in a very similar method as retinol and other vitamin A derivatives like tretinoin, but is far less irritating and much more stable. Research has confirmed that bakuchiol works best in concentrations between 0.5-2%.  A  recent double blinded study of 44 patients comparing  0.5% bakuchiol cream versus a 0.5% retinol cream found both significantly decreased wrinkle surface area and hyperpigmentation with no statistical difference between outcomes. But the retinol users reported significantly more facial skin scaliness and stinging with use. 
Glycolic Acid (5%):  This alpha hydroxy acid chemical exfoliant is able to slough off that dead skin as the bakuchiol revs up cell turnover, resulting in that beautiful glass appearance and smooth texture. And in its own right, glycolic acid has been shown to  increase epidermal thickness, epidermal cell turnover, clean out blocked pores and lighten post inflammatory pigmentation.
Gluconolactone (0.5%):  A pre-hydroxy acid that's even better tolerated by the skin. Like other acids, it is able to remove the dead cells from the outermost layer of the skin, leading to a smoother, brighter complexion. But it also has several hydroxyl groups that other acids do not, which serves as a humectant thereby attracting water to the skin. 
Salicylic acid (0.1%): This beta hydroxy acid (BHA) is also an exfoliant that is able to get inside pores making it especially effective for reducing pore size.  When used in low percentages (under 0.5%) it also has soothing and hydrating properties making it able to calm aggravated skin.

If You Have Sensitive Skin:

This is a powerful product and although it is formulated for sensitive skin that does NOT mean you can or should use this product every day. It should NOT be used when your skin is irritated,  stop during active rosacea or eczema flares and on healing skin until skin has fully recovered. People with very sensitive skin should start using it every other day and always follow with a moisturizer.
