Advanced Skin Care

Part 1 - C2S for Teenage and Adult Acne

C2S Skin Balancing Serum was developed to target and balance problem skin areas. Various skin types are prone to irritation, hyper-pigmentation (blotchiness) inflammatory lesions and various grades of acne. C2S, with its two forms of stable Vitamin C (C2) + Salicylic Acid (S) helps to normalize problem skin areas and restore sebum balance without over-drying! It does so while providing advanced skin protection from free-radicals which are known to cause skin aging and other complications.

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient for the formation of collagen, the fibrous protein that contributes to skin firmness. When the skin is exposed to free-radical generators (e.g. UV light, smoke, air, etc.) the level of Vitamin C in the skin becomes depleted. Not enough Vitamin C reaches the skin through oral ingestion; therefore it is necessary to replenish the lost Vitamin C topically.

C2S Skin Balancing Serum contains two forms of Vitamin C: a water-soluble form (Ascorbic Acid) and an oil soluble form (Ascorbyl Palmitate). Why use two forms of Vitamin C? Vitamin C is poorly absorbed through the skin, so by using a water-soluble and oil soluble form of the vitamin, we maximize the amount of Vitamin C that penetrates to the deeper layers of the epidermis. Also, C2S contains Salicylic Acid; this beta hydroxy acid exfoliates the outer layer of skin, increasing the normal exfoliation rate by 20% without irritation. Studies have shown that when Vitamin C is applied to exfoliated skin versus normal skin, the level of Vitamin C that penetrates to the deeper layers of the skin increases more than 800%. Therefore, by combining Salicylic Acid with the two forms of Vitamin C, we have the best system possible to insure maximal penetration of Vitamin C into the skin. C2S also contains Vitamin E (another potent antioxidant), which works synergistically with Vitamin C in combating free radicals that damage and prematurely age the skin.
  Benefits of using C2S:
-Vitamin C produces collagen. Collagen is needed for the firmness and elasticity of skin cells (wrinkle reduction).

-C2S reduces skin oiliness by lowering sebum output. Pimples, blackheads & other problems associated with oily skin will diminish.

-Skin will appear more hydrated and less dry; fine lines and wrinkles will diminish; skin clarity will improve.

-C2S effectively fuels skin cells and stimulates their regeneration, bringing renewed vitality & freshness. With regular use, C2S will produce a complexion that is visibly brighter and clearer, with a smooth tight texture.

Daily Regimen: (See below for links to individual products). At night after cleansing with MD Forte Facial Cleanser I or II (start I with 12% glycolic compound, advance to II 15% glycolic compound), place two to three drops of C2S into the palm of your hand. Using the index and middle fingers of the other hand, apply the C2S on those areas of the face and neck needing the greatest improvement of fine lines and wrinkles, oily areas and/or areas of irritation. After application of C2S, apply LRS and Kinerase. These products will re-establish moisture and maintain the healthy, glowing appearance of the new skin.
