Introduction

This product contains vitamin A (retinol) and vitamin C metabolite (tetrahexyldecyl-ascorbate) and ceramides for lubricity.

It is an outstanding overall active for those wanting convenience and performance in one product. We recommend an evening application up to 3x per week.

An excellent companion to CERAMIDE SERUM is PRO HYA +. These two actives can be used twice (2x) per week each if both are in play (observe and adjust). Add to that our EYE FIRMING SERUM twice (2x) per week and you have a complete regimen for reversing the visible signs of aging.

As always, observe and adjust.

VISIBLE AGING

Apply CERAMIDE SERUM three times per week, evenings.

Have two and preferably three cleansers in play: REVIVE, FACE & BODY BAR and 302 CLEANSER will provide excellent skin tone and efficient cleansing.

Limit moisturizers to daytime use, and limit overall use.

Introduce a second active - PRO HYA + is highly recommended if a second active is desired. Apply on alternate evenings, but wait two weeks before introducing.

Use of A 0.5 or A 1.0 or C 12.5 or C 25 actives are not recommended. Using these products in combination with CERAMIDE SERUM will most likely weaken the skin and reverse visible results in time.

If CERAMIDE SERUM use is up to three times (3x) per week (evenings best) and is your only active, then use of moisturizers such as LIGHT MOISTURIZER, BALANCE MOISTURIZER or INTENSIVE MOISTURIZER are fine on other days, and during the day, for best results. Avoid unthinking daily rituals of moisturizers. Observe and adjust. Be aware.

Moisturizers can weaken the skin and subtract the systemic moisturizing you have cultivated with visible success using actives like CERAMIDE SERUM.

SPECIALTY ACTIVES: Introduction

Specialty Actives have a variety of applications and skin targets. These products usually have multiple metabolites, or a very specific application.

The product formulas have been developed in the clinic, with thousands of end-users, many of them skincare professionals with most products over five and often ten years in the works. They generate visible results and are a great value.

Unlike other skincare marketers, 302 Skincare brings you into the game as an observer and a participant. We make suggestions to you based on our experience. Your regimen is not determined by instructions on a label. You observe and adjust. We can teach you this process.

The biggest single problem in skincare is product saturation of the skin. Too many products or, too often applied, and often both. We discuss the ins and outs at our REFERENCE TOPICS. It is worth a read through.

Your goal is to keep the skin alert, surprised even. Over frequent application of products dulls the skin and even leads to addiction. Most of you have had the experience of applying a product that initially seemed to be worthwhile, only to have the results fall back by month’s end. Vitamin C is well known for this phenomena.

Choose your actives carefully, rotate through them, limit the totality of what you put on and the frequency. Your skin is like a houseplant - over water or over feed it and you will see an unhealthy result.

If you follow the guidelines, observe and adjust, your daily cost of skincare will decrease and your visible results will be outstanding.
