Purity Clean is exfoliating cleanser that gently lifts away dirt, oil and impurities whilst balancing and clarifying the skin for a softer complexion, full of radiance. Opti Crystal is the brand’s #1 bestselling liquid crystal eye serum that is said to reduce the look of dark circles and improve the look of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging around the eyes. Cosmedix Opti Crystal can be used both day and night. Cosmedix ingredients: The Five A’s All CosMedix cleansers are designed to restore and balance the skin's pH and as a result, help maintain a healthy microbiome CosMedix Define contains trans-retinol and fruit acids, ingredients that increase skin cell turnover for a smoother, brighter complexion. At the same time, trans-retinol boosts collagen and elastin production to help restructure skin's deeper layers for better support and resistance to wrinkling.

To achieve advanced results and real changes in skin health, you need to use an advanced skincare system. I am proud to use CosMedix in my treatments and home care program. I have always been passionate about botanical-based skincare and CosMedix supports my belief that plant is best, combined with scientific and evidence-based ingredients, making it the purest medical skincare system on the market. See below for more information about what makes CosMedix so unique. Cleansers made with detergents and soap have an alkaline pH which causes disruption to the barrier and results in irritationAfter cleansing, the level of tightness you feel helps to indicate how healthy the barrier function is. If you feel a tight sensation, all is not lost! Start using a regimen made with active ingredients that will help restore a healthy acid mantle and barrier. Uses: As a cleanser, or a second treatment cleanse if you’re wearing makeup. It also functions as a mild exfoliant. Acne is caused when oil, hair and dead skin cells clog pores. Ingredients such as Salicylic Acid and AGP Complex help stimulate cell turnover to curb breakouts. Given you use it properly—that is, massage it in for at least 30 seconds, ideally a minute—you’ll get a really gentle cleanse, clearer pores, and a more refined skin texture. It definitely doesn’t have the same impact as a dedicated chemical exfoliant or clarifying serum, but it’s a great option for rough, uneven or congested skin. Since 1999, CosMedix’s mission has been to use the science of nature to deliver maximum results with minimum irritation, using the finest ingredients from all over the world. Incorporating Nobel Prize-winning chemistry and blending them with pure botanical ingredients to create skincare that affects real change. This intersection of science and nature is what makes CosMedix a leader in the industry and trusted by physicians, aestheticians and consumers all over the world.

Purity Solution Nourishing Deep Cleansing Oil is a two-in-one makeup remover and cleanser with a nutrient-rich blend of radiance-boosting oils that gently melt away dirt, oil, makeup and impurities for a hydrated, healthy-looking glow. Shake well before use. Moisten hands and face. Dispense a dime-sized amount and work into lather to cleanse skin. Rinse with warm water. Follow with Shineless Oil-Free Moisturizer for oily, acne-prone or combination skin, or Emulsion Intense Hydrator for normal to dry skin. One product we recommend is Formulyst’s Anti-Dark Circle Eye Cream. This lightweight, fast-acting formula contains a rich blend of vitamins, amino acids, and minerals to help visibly brighten and smooth the delicate skin in the eye area. Key ingredients in this Formulyst eye cream include quinoa seed extract, caffeine, and butcher’s broom extract. Quinoa seed extract is rich in essential fatty acids. These essential fatty acids help to restore the skin’s barrier function, which keeps the skin hydrated and soft. Caffeine helps to reduce the amount of blood that accumulates under the eyes (dark circles) while also reducing puffiness. Butcher’s broom extract has astringent and soothing properties. Together, these ingredients help to brighten and smooth the under eye area.ELITE Rx Clean 11% l-lactic acid, 13% Shea - introduce after using Purity Clean for period of time usually a minimum of 8 weeks. Personally I like this as a second cleanse, because A) I wear a lot of sunscreen, so I always double-up, and B) it’s expensive, so I’d rather remove makeup with something cheaper (like Bioderma Sensibio Micellar Water). But in terms of use, it’s really simple. I just work it into damp skin for a good minute, concentrating on my nose and chin, before rinsing. You can use it both morning and night, too. Vitamin A (aka retinol) is one of the best anti-aging skin care ingredients because it has the ability to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve uneven skin tone, restore skin firmness, and shrink the appearance of enlarged pores. You can find retinol in several Cosmedix skin care products, such as Cosmedix Serum 16 and Cosmedix Define Age-Defying Treatment. Another pro is that lavender oil has some nice antimicrobial and antibacterial properties. It also has some localpain relieving and muscle relaxing magical powers. Lavender oil is also often claimed to have anti-inflammatory properties. We have found a study confirming this but it was the essential oil of the leaves and not the much more commonly used flowers and the two differ in their main chemical compounds very much. (The main components of the flower essential oil are linalyl acetate and linalool [around 80% the two together] while it is 1,8-Cineole [around 65%] in the essential oil of the leaves.)
