Excellent for unresponsive, coarse sun-thickened, sagging 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).
Some skin warmth and mild pinking may be noticeable after application (it’s working).

Targeted Skin Type
Thinning or coarse skin from aging are primary targets for 302 SERUM PLUS. Skin that is unresponsive and marked by a papery surface, or conversely coarse, heavy skin that is marked by sun damage will respond where simple exfoliating just brings up the same old problems again and again.
Skincare Concerns
Aging 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.

3x per week (observe and adjust)
Do not apply another active more than 1x per week while using 302 SERUM PLUS.
