To maintain and improve skin health, an effective
skincare regime must contain three fundamental elements -- prevention,
protection, and correction. At SkinCeuticals,
their product philosophy and educational programs are built around
these principles. Their line of advanced skincare products is
designed to prevent future damage, protect healthy skin, and correct
previous damage. With SkinCeuticals, achieving results means more
than restoring youthful, radiant skin -- it means preventing serious
skin conditions, like skin cancer.
The formulations are based on optimal concentrations
of active ingredients elegantly crafted into functional products
-- designed, formulated, and tested for effectiveness. Using pure,
pharmaceutical grade ingredients with proven scientific results,
the entire skincare program works as a complete system for maximum
improvement to skin health.

The Obagi
Nu-Derm® System:
For Skin That Looks and Acts Younger and Healthier
As you age and your skin incurs the abuse of daily living
(such as sun, stress, pollution), the cell turnover rate slows
down. This means that the new cells take longer to form and reach
the top. The old cells accumulate and stay on the surface longer.
As the stratum corneum thickens and the area of new cells shrink,
skin becomes less healthy. You begin to notice those unwelcome
signs of aging including: fine lines and wrinkles, freckles and
age spots, uneven skin tone, loss of elasticity and loss of natural
skin hydration.
How it Works:
The Obagi Nu-Derm® System, a physician-prescribed
skin care system, accelerates the cellular turnover. This System
penetrates below the skin's surface to correct damage in all
layers of the skin (the stratum corneum, the epidermis and the
dermis). It corrects functions of the skin at the cellular level,
to Transform skin's cellular function to help it look and act
younger and healthier. The System triggers a Therapeutic Cascade™
that:
- Pushes fresher cells
to the surface faster, for smoother skin, reduced wrinkles
and increased tolerance
- Corrects current pigmentation
(freckles and age spots) and prevents the appearance of new
pigmentation
- Promotes more uniform
cells at the deepest layer for better skin structure
and balanced, even skin tone
- Increases collagen and
elastin for firmer, more resilient skin
- Increases nutrient's
natural hydration and circulation for supple, healthy-looking
skin
The Obagi-C™
Rx System: For Brighter Photolumines™
Skin
As the first and only prescription-strength Vitamin C skin
care system, the Obagi-C™ Rx System delivers brighter, Photolumines
skin. Designed for people with mild to moderate sun damage, this
simple prescription-strength System helps your skin to look more
radiant and even toned.
How it works:
The Obagi-C™ Rx System combines
the proven benefits of Physician-strength Vitamin C with a patented
formula of prescription-strength ingredients. This specially
formulated combination works to:
- Correct freckles and age spots caused by
sun damage
- Regulate the production of melanin-producing
cells, resulting in even skin tone and radiant skin
- Enhance collagen production, promoting smoother,
brighter skin with fewer fine lines and wrinkles
- Promote radiance, resulting in Photolumines
skin that emits light you can actually see and measure
The Obagi Blue
Peel® System: Accelerate
Your Transformation
If you're looking to accelerate the Transformation of
your skin and are interested in a chemical peel procedure, then
the Obagi Blue Peel System may be right for you. Obagi Blue Peel
is conducted in your Physician's office. Prior to and after the
procedure, your Physician should recommend use of the Obagi Nu-Derm
System.
How it works:
Unlike common alpha-hydroxy peels or at-home procedures, the
Obagi Blue Peel puts control of your treatment in professional
hands. Based on your individual needs and skin condition, your
skin professional determines the strength of the peel.
The Obagi Blue Peel uses Trichloracetic Acid
(TCA) as the active ingredient mixed with the patented Blue
Base from Obagi. Your skin professional will apply the Obagi
Blue Peel based on your level of damage and your desired level
of Transformation.
What to expect:
The Obagi Blue Peel procedure takes less than an hour in your
Physician's office and does not typically require sedation.
Your skin professional will apply the Blue Peel typically to
your face and neck. A mild burning sensation will occur that
generally lasts only a few minutes. Then you may experience
a bluish tint to your skin that usually washes off in 12 to
24 hours. Your skin professional will advise you on how many
peels are needed to give you the desired result.
Depending on the strength and depth following
the procedure, you will experience light swelling. Within two
to three days, your skin will begin to peel. This peeling continues
over the next several days. By the seventh to tenth day, your
skin should be healed.
Once your skin has completely recovered and
is finished peeling, you will notice a visible improvement in
your complexion. Your skin's appearance should continue to improve
for the next four to six weeks, becoming firmer, clearer, smoother,
healthier and more youthful looking.
WARNINGS: The procedure
for and use of TCA can only be performed by a Physician or if
permitted by law, a properly trained specialist working under
a Physician’s supervision. Proper medical knowledge is
essential to the performance of any TCA peel. The treating Physician
is responsible for informing a patient about potential medical
risks and complications.

What is Kinerase®?
Kinerase® is a line of science-based cosmetic and OTC products
that help skin look and feel smoother, younger and healthier.
It's made with the synthetic plant growth factor, N6-furfuryladenine,
which has been shown to slow the changes that naturally occur
in the cell-aging process in plants.
Kinerase helps to diminish the appearance of fine
lines and wrinkles and, at the same time, provides superior moisturization
for all skin types. It is available in cream or lotion formulations
and is both non-comedogenic (so it won't clog your pores) and
hypoallergenic (so it is unlikely to cause an allergic reaction).
The Kinerase line is comprised of cosmetic and
OTC products and therefore does not require a prescription.

"Colorescience
Micronized Mineral Makeup" is an amazing breakthrough in
natural colore cosmetics. Colorescience products come from the
earth's natural minerals. The mineral pigments reflect light so
that the colore seems to come from within, softening features,
giving the skin a youthful glow. Colorescience products are formulated
for all skin types and have a positive effect on the actual condition
of the skin. With the use of patented ingredients and nanotechnology,
Colorescience claims that "looking good is now good for your skin."
Colorescience products are helpful for:

Colorescience is a full spectrum sunscreen protecting your skin

- Effects on Aging.
We've discovered that UVB is not the only culprit when it comes
to aging and problems resulting from UVA rays cause the most
irreversible damage to the skin. Sunlight breaks down collagen
and elastin fibers causing sagging, dryness and loss of elasticity.
Sunlight accounts for 80 percent of what we call aging.

Scientists have discovered that each of these mirror image molecules has different properties, some harmful and ineffective, some beneficial to the human body. Chirally corrected molecules produce only the positive effects of each ingredient, dramatically reducing the possibility of an allergic or adverse reaction. This purification process is the basis of our skin care and cosmetic line.
Because of the high cost of chiral correction, most popular brands of cosmetics and skin care do not purify their ingredients. Unfortunately, when the harmful molecules are left intact to cause irritation and inflammation, your skin will begin to show signs of aging prematurely. CosMedix ingredients are purified to their most natural, potent form, resulting in optimum effectiveness.
Now your skin can enjoy the impressive results afforded by CosMedix chirally corrected, natural ingredients. No longer do you have to harm your skin with harsh acids and irritating products. Instead, your skin will absorb the soothing, calming effects of nourishment as nature intended. Let your skin look and feel its best with CosMedix.

Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen is made with a unique super micronized Zinc Oxide that allows the protectant to form an even barrier against UV rays. Other sunscreens are less technologically advanced - they don't blend on to the skin as easily and don't stay on as long.
With Blue Lizard's chemical-free formulas, you know that your skin is completely safe from ultraviolet radiation. With 10 percent Zinc Oxide and 5 percent Titanium Dioxide, harmful sunlight is reflected before it has a chance to penetrate the lower layers. Cheaply made, higher SPF sunscreens are juiced up with chemical absorbers. That means that UV rays have the opportunity to get into the skin, where the chemicals trap it and "trick" your skin into thinking it's not going to burn.
