- Stimulates exfoliation
of dull looking epidermal cells by accelerating skin cell turnover time from
the standard 30 to 35 day cycle to 5 to 6 days causing the skin to appear
smoother and brighter looking.
- Repairs cellular structure
damage gradually in the epidermal cells as well as in the dermal collagen
and small blood vessels.
- Helps shrink oil glands
which in turn reduces pore size and diminishes scars. Builds an "infrastructure"
by stimulating new collagen and a new thicker, plumper epidermis.
Using
Green Cream...
If you have never used a
retinoid or your skin is sensitive to topical treatments, you should test a
small area of your face and then, wait 24 hours for any kind of reaction. If
no reaction, you should apply a small amount to your face once a week for 2
to 3 weeks. Next, apply Green Cream� 3 times a week for a month. Ultimately,
your goal should be to work up to applying Green Cream� every other night. Be
patient as your skin adapts to a retinol treatment. Even with infrequent applications,
you should see some results. Also, it is best
that you start with Level 6 Green Cream�.
How
to use....
After gentle cleansing with
a mild cleanser, apply a small amount to the entire face, initially avoiding
the eye and neck areas. Start using Green Cream� every other night for 1 to
2 weeks and gradually increase to once or twice daily as tolerated. For maximum
benefit, use Green Cream in the evenings when possible as this product can easily
be inactivated by light. Occasionally, a burning or stinging sensation may be
felt during the first few weeks of use. Redness or a mild rash can also develop.
Discontinue use of the product for a few days...CP Serum or other SRCP should
help to reduce irritation associated with active retinol.
Flaking may occur since
dull sun-damaged cells are being shed and new, younger cells are being stimulated.
As needed, using a mild exfoliant followed by a moisturizer can help shed the
peeling skin.
