Kit Medik8 CSA Retinal

1. Surface Radiance Cleanse is infused with both AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) and BHA (beta hydroxy acid) chemical exfoliators, to gently break down impurities and pore blockages across the complexion, deeply cleansing the skin and sloughing away dead skin cells on the surface of the skin. The result? A visibly renewed, purified complexion with a brighter appearance.

2. C-Tetra is carefully formulated with tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, a stabilized, gentle yet effective form of vitamin C. It works in synergy with vitamin E to increase the skin’s antioxidant defense levels, protecting against free radical attack throughout the day and promoting a more radiant appearance. A multi-tasker, C-Tetra can also help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

3. Crystal Retinal 3 contains the next generation form of vitamin A, retinal. Retinal requires only one conversion to retinoic acid, the biologically active vitamin A molecule that any form must be converted to before it can have an effect on the skin. Because it is only one conversion away, it can produce retinoic acid-like results up to 11 times faster than classic forms of retinol. [1] The advanced active is carefully encapsulated in a crystalline structure that is broken down by the skin’s natural enzymes when applied topically. This ensures maximum stability and absorption, while the vitamin A active is gradually released into the skin while you sleep for minimal irritation.

4. Advanced Day Total Protect is a lightweight moisturizer with sun protection. With 360 degrees of environmental protection and modern, advanced sun filters, the invisible sunscreen protects the skin from premature aging caused by the sun and all aspects of the environment. Including a pollution shield and anti-AGE technology, all combined in one hydrating day cream.

HOW TO USE

• Cleaning the appearance of the surface

Start your anti-aging skincare routine by cleansing both morning and night with Surface Radiance Cleanse. Massage into damp face and neck. For sensitive or dry skin, use once daily or whenever a deeper cleanse is needed. Gently remove by splashing with water and pat face dry.

• C-Tetra

After cleansing in the morning, massage 6 drops of C-Tetra over the face, neck and décolleté. Allow to absorb before applying a moisturiser.

• Advanced Day Total Protect

Follow with Advanced Day Total Protect. Apply a generous amount to face, neck and décolleté. Use light, upward strokes and allow to absorb. Reapply throughout the day as needed.

• Crystal Retina 3

Use in the evening. Cleanse first, then apply Crystal Retinal 3 to face and neck. Allow to absorb, then follow with moisturizer. Gently squeeze the tube while activating the pump to ensure every drop is dispensed.

The application of Crystal Retinal 3 should be introduced gradually. Use twice a week for the first 2 weeks, every other night for the next 2 weeks, then every night.

• It is recommended to test the patch before use. Consult  medik8.com.au/patch for a comprehensive guide to testing patches.
