An elegant, light serum of natural extracts that serve also as the vehicle for the 302 molecule, unique in all of skincare.
Excellent for thin, inelastic skin. Visible change to sun damaged, listless skin.
Not to be mixed with exfoliating acid products (salicylic, glycolic, lactic, etc.) or applied to skin with recent sensitivity issues from chemicals (natural or synthetic).
Spread evenly for an undetectable after feel. Mornings or evenings, every other day for best outcome.
Some skin warmth may be noticeable for first few applications.
Lightly emollient, tack free after feel
Helps restore skin visibly thinned by aging and sun
Smooths acne scars, adds resilience and improves turgor
Visible change that does not disappear with time
Targeted Skin Type
Primary targets are thinning or coarse skin. Skin that is unresponsive and marked by a papery surface, or conversely coarse, heavy skin that is marked by sun damage will respond where risky exfoliating just brings up the same old problems again and again.
Skincare Concerns
Lines, wrinkles, texture, turgor, resilience. 302 SERUM lets your skin do what it did when it was young.
Acne scars can be smoothed and the process is made more efficient by using 302 SERUM in combination with A 1.0 DROPS or A 1.0 SERUM.
Aging, acne scarred and unstable skin cannot be exfoliated away and where it has lost its vitality and responsiveness new approaches are necessary.
There are ways to recover depleted skin and we encourage you to learn more about skin recovery at REFERENCE TOPICS find especially these topics: REPAIR MODEL and the TRAINING MODEL.
