Skin Care
The lure of glossy ads and enticing packaging wins us over time and time again yet virtually all store-bought cosmetics and skin care products do not deliver what they promise and may actually contain harmful ingredients such as petroleum by products. They can't deliver significant anti-aging benefits either because they lack the ingredients necessary to do so or if active ingredients are present, the concentrations are too low to be effective.
At Live Young we have selected skin treatments to take home; skin care that does work and is the best that science has to offer and in concentrations that can only be sold through a doctor's office. We believe your home care program is important not only for skin protection but because it complements and supports the treatments you receive at the clinic. Our products also work as stand alone treatments.
We offer the following active ingredients through our skin care lines:
- Non-petroleum moisturisers + bases which meld with our skin's natural lipids and oils.
- pH balanced skin cleansers for all skin types; no toner is necessary.
- Barrier sun screens for complete UVA sun protection finishes to suit all skin types and men.
- Glycolic acid (8%, 15% and 30%) for exfoliation and collagen boosting to minimize pour size and fine lines.
- AHA, BHA and benzyl peroxide for acne and hyperkeratosis( dry, bumpy skin).
- Vitamin C in a stable, non-oxidizable formulation with superior skin penetration - Acts as a skin anti-oxidant, pigment modulator and collagen booster.
- Retinol/ Vitamin A - exfoliation and collagen production to reduce fine lines and pour size. The gold standard for wrinkle treatment.
- Peptides such as Argireline, Matrixyl and several other active peptides- the latest in the anti-wrinkle arsenal, they are alternatives to retinol.
All products contain natural, non-petroleum-derived active ingredients, bases and fragrances and are suitable for all skin types.
