Omega Peel
Omega Peel Based on a dynamically new principle of engineering technology, Omega Peel is the first and only skin care product to exfoliate with the mechanism of a static electric charge instead of through an active, chemical agent. This charge is released when the formula changes its physical composition from a gel into a fine, penetrating liquid state. The charge itself is the active agent. It neutralizes the weakened electromagnetic bonds that lock living and dead skin cells together. By following the strategy of nature's own renewal process, Omega Peel is able to accelerate this process without inflicting trauma or stress onto the living and developing skin tissue.

Once the bonds of dead cells are unlocked, these cells (along with any micro-impurities trapped in the skin) become suspended in the liquid. As they float free, the liquid adheres to these unattached cells, beginning its final stage and transformation. When the area is massaged, the dead cells collide and are bound together by the liquid which is now starting to solidify, rolling up into soft clumps, then sloughing away. Some areas of skin will clump together more heavily than other areas. This process will identify where there are thicker densities of dead cell accumulation.

When Omega Peel is used once a week in conjunction with glycolic acid, the Omega Peel not only prevents cell build-up and thickening from acid irritation, but it also enhances the positive effects of glycolic acid. It primes the skin for far better absorption of other nutrients by keeping the skin pruned and fresh. (.67 oz)

SkinCeuticals
C + AHA This two-in-one antioxidant treatment works by two different mechanisms to help improve the appearance of aging skin both inside and out. Below the surface, a 15% concentration of pure L-ascorbic acid helps protect against damaging UVA/UVB rays, prevents premature signs of aging, and stimulates collagen production. Above the surface, a 10% concentration of hydroxy acids exfoliates to smooth the skin and create a more youthful appearance. Both glycolic acid and lactic acid slough off the rough outer layer of the skin, revealing newer, youthful skin under the surface. (1 oz) 125.00

Active ingredients are delivered in a hyaluronic acid base to hydrate as they help heal, calm, and improve the appearance of the skin. Phyto+ can also be used to help reduce erythema and to maintain results following invasive cosmetic procedures. (1 oz) 72.00
