A: The HydroShield Ultra Moisturizing Face Serum is the most soothing of all items.
A: Yes.
A: Several of the active ingredients can only be dissolved in alcohol and nothing else. In order to put these ingredients into the products, they have to be dissolved in alcohol. The amount of alcohol used is so minimal that it will have NO IMPACT on your skin.
A: Dicoloration of a product may occur if the product is subject to high temperature, moisture or prolonged exposure to air. Some products do contain natural ingredients that have a tendency to change color over time but this does not lower effectiveness or safety during the shelf life of the product.
A: One of the most damaging skin care fallacies pertains to exfoliation. Most people under exfoliate because the skin care fallacy says that exfoliation will dry and thin out the skin. This could not be further from the truth. The skin is a dynamic organ, the more you wear it down the more it grows. You can take a dull, lifeless, ashen looking skin and turn it into radiant skin by exfoliation. Another common misconception is that exfoliation may dry the skin out. On the contrary! If you take off old, dry skin cells on a daily basis, you open up the skin so moisture can permeate your skin better. So if your skin is dry, you have to start with something a bit counterintuitive: you have to exfoliate first.
A: The sun is the single worst enemy of your skin. Nearly everything that you do not like about your skin: enlarged pores, lines, loss of elasticity, age spots, red capillaries have ultimately something to do with the Sun. It is very important to find a day cream and sun screen built together in one. Because if you have a day cream and then a separate sun screen on top, the SPF effect of the day cream is diluted. So you may think that you have an SPF15 on, but you may have less than half that.
A: While other brands focus on one or two key ingredients, we think it is best to use as many scientifically proven ingredients as can fit in the formulation because they can all contribute to the skin in different ways. The key is to use the RIGHT ingredients in the RIGHT percentages, because with skin care everything is in the percentages. Our most important goal is to give you an exceptionally high percentage of the key ingredients. Our products are one of the most expensively made products in the industry as far as the ingredients are concerned. Not packaging and not marketing.
