Introduction

This product contains retinol in lower concentrations than found in A 0.5 DROPS / A 0.5 SERUM or A 1.0 DROPS / A 1.0 SERUM and has been designed to wash off. This formula is NOT recommended for oily skin. It IS recommended for skin that is unstable, blemish prone, unpredictable and most likely this situation has been caused by addiction to exfoliation and benzoyl peroxide.

This product can be used while under the process of discontinuing the exfoliation and/or benzoyl peroxide. See various REFERENCE TOPICS for discussion of weaning away from peels and benzoyl peroxide.

The product is washed off to avoid further metabolic load to a weakened skin. It was proven biochemically in the early 2000’s that a signal effect from active metabolites, like retinol, occurred with seconds after topical application. In other words, the desired activity occurs and it is not necessary to continue sustained dwell time in the skin where “digestive” energy must be spent and a weak skin cannot afford.

We recommend a five (5) minute dwell time of CLARIFYING DROPS before removal using REVIVE.

UNSTABLE, BLEMISH PRONE SKIN

1. Apply CLARIFYING DROPS three times per week, evenings. Spread with REVIVE.

2. Allow five (5) minutes maximum dwell time.

3. Apply REVIVE again and smooth in. Rinse very well.

4. Re-apply REVIVE and leave-on.

5. You may mix a smidgen of REMEDY with REVIVE if you are in need of more barrier protection from the environment.

6. Avoid moisturizers, other actives, sunblock until skin is very stable.

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.
