Green Apple's Concealer Pot :
The BEST concealer for darkness on the eyelids. Creamy and non-drying this product just glides on the skin. Great under the eye as well.

An amazing wrinkle management product that truly delivers results! Formulated with over 26% Argireline! Studies have proven that Argireline reduces wrinkles by 27% after 30 days (when applied twice a day). And those results were based on formulas containing JUST 10% Argireline!!! In addition Control contains a blend of high-performance antioxidants which benefit sun damage correction, cell protection, collagen protection, and skin surface renewal & brightening.

Cellex C's High Potency Serum :

This Vitamin C product contains a complex formulation of ingredients including L-ascorbic acid, tyrosine and zinc to encourage a firm and elastic quality. Used daily under the moisturizer. Feels wonderful after the first application! Those with drier skins - we recommend using Cellex-C's Hydra 5-B Complex on top of the serum as it is extraordinarily high in hyaluronic acid and begins its moisturizing work beneath the surface of the skin. Without the Hydra-B we feel the skin tends to feel slightly dry and tight but after an application of B the skin is moist and just glows! Treat yourself and enjoy!

SkinCeutical's Phyto +:

Hyperpigmention is a condition where areas of the skin become darker in color than surrounding skin. This darkening occurs when an excess of melanin, the brown pigment that produces normal skin color, forms deposits in the skin. For those that are bothered by this skin imperfection, Phyto + is an effective solution to help diminish the discolorations. Ingredients, kojic acid and arbutin inhibit the action of tyrosinase which is responsbile for melanin production. Phyto + is a natural alternative to the chemical skin lightner hyroquinone, therefore less likely to cause irritation. Ideal for all skin types. This product may also be used in conjunction with Retin-A which will speed up results as it helps the inhibitor ingredients penetrate better by removing the dead cells. We have great results with Phtyo + and clients are pleased! And please remember, the most important first line of defense to hyperpigmentation is a full spectrum sunblock. The sun will only intensify darkened areas as well as negate any progress made in any treatment.
