Peter T. Pacik, MD, FACS

Dear SkinCare-MD Customer,

First I would like to extend New Year's greetings from myself and the SkinCare-MD staff. We hope that 2005 brings you health and happiness!

At the start of a new year, many of us feel that this is a good time to discard our bad habits and replace them with new, healthier habits. These new "resolutions" might include eating a healthier diet, drinking more water or starting a new exercise program.

As a part of these healthy resolutions, you might also decide that this is the year to start taking better care of your skin. If you have noticed that your skin feels older, less firm and shows discoloration due to aging or sun exposure, then make a New Year's Healthy Skin Resolution to get radiant, younger looking skin in 2005!

Make a Healthy Skin Resolution for 2005

A new year brings renewed energy to accomplish your goals. A good way to start with your New Year's Healthy Skin Resolution is to first discard your bad habits. This means protecting your skin from any further damage by avoiding sun exposure, tanning beds, and harsh, ineffective skin care products.

Once you have resolved to rid yourself of the bad habits, you can then take on your new, healthy skin habits which include drinking lots of water, using broad-spectrum sunscreen every day and adopting a new, proven, Advanced Skin Care Program.

About Advanced Skin Care Programs

An Advanced Skin Care Program can reduce the effects of sun damage, as well as wrinkling, dryness and blotchy pigmentation that are often part of the natural aging process. Early treatment can also help eliminate the progression to more destructive skin problems. In addition, advanced skin care is effective in treating teenagers with acne and those with adult-onset complexion problems. Our Advanced Skin Care Programs can revitalize the skin of men, women and teens, with any skin type or color.

Benefits of an Advanced Skin Care Program:

• Improve sun damaged skin and restore skin health
• Decrease appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and "lipstick bleed"
• Diminish pigment changes, such as age spots, sunspots, and red or blotchy patches
• Reduce acne
• Unclog and tighten pores
• Normalize oil production
• Improve skin color and tone

Which Skin Care Program Should You Use?

SkinCare-MD offers professional strength skin care programs from MD Forte, Obagi Nu-Derm, Obagi-C Rx and Kinerase. While each skin care program has unique merits, you should choose a program that meets your own personal needs. On our Web site, we offer a chart: Getting Started with Advanced Skin Care to help our customers decide which skin care program is appropriate for your skin type and skin condition.

How Do I Get Started With Advanced Skin Care?

The easiest and least expensive way to get started with any one of our skin care programs is to purchase a Skin Care Starter Kit. We offer a variety of starter kits from MD Forte, Obagi Nu-Derm, Obagi-C Rx and Kinerase that contain all the products you need to start your advanced skin care program. Skin Care Starter Kits bundle full-sized products at a significant savings over purchasing the products individually. Please read the feature below for more information about our Starter Kits.

Contact Us With Your Questions
As always, we encourage customers with questions to call our office and speak to Lisa Roberge, our licensed Esthetician. Lisa is happy to talk to you about your skin type and condition and make product recommendations based on your conversation. Our MD Forte, Obagi Nu-Derm, Obagi-C Rx and Kinerase Advanced Skin Care Programs are all excellent for skin rejuvenation. Lisa can help you decide which skin care program would be best for you. She is available during office hours Monday through Thursday 9-4, Friday 9-3 EST at 1-800-640-0290 or (603) 669-0290.

Make 2005 a year that you achieve more radiant, healthier skin. We at Skincare-MD.com would like to help you achieve these goals!

Sincerely,

We have a variety of Skin Care Starter Kits available and have listed them below in order from the mildest skin care program to the most aggressive.

Kinerase Starter/Travel Kit
This Kinerase regimen is formulated specifically to help you achieve optimal skin care results. Kinerase contains kinetin (N6-furfuryladenine) to help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also helps improve the appearance of skin texture, tone and blotchiness in sun-damaged skin and gently moisturizes dry and sensitive or post-procedural skin. Kinerase Starter Kits are available for Normal to Dry Skin and Normal to Oily Skin.

MD Forte Starter Kits
The MD Forte Skin Care System is a physician-strength glycolic line which provides total body skin rejuvenation through higher strength glycolic levels than over-the-counter products. Through gentle exfoliation, MD Forte products produce improved skin tone, giving the skin a glowing, healthy appearance. MD Forte products are available in three glycolic strengths: Level I, Level II and Level III (Level III, being the strongest). New users, or those with sensitive skin should begin with Level I before "graduating" to Level II or III.
