			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Product Launch ~ January 2010</p>
<p>– Clarisonic introduces the <strong>Opal Sonic Infusion System</strong>, which combines sonic micro-massage with a proprietary Anti-Aging Serum for immediately noticeable and long-lasting reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.</p>
<p>You will be thrilled with the instantly noticeable reduction in the fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes. Opal is going to change the way women combat aging. Our clients love the way it feels and the results are very impressive.</p>
<p>Opal’s soothing, gentle vibrations infuse Anti-Aging Serums and other treatment products into the epidermis where they can begin to work immediately.</p>
<p>The Clarisonic infuser combines a soft applicator tip, precision tuned sonic frequency, and a proprietary gentle kneading motion to maximize transfer of serum into the epidermis.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Why Clarisonic infusion?</strong></span></p>
<p>• Skin hydration and serum absorption are important for skin health</p>
<p>• sonic infusion is more effective than fingertip application</p>
<p>• sonic micro-massage GLIDES ACROSS SKIN AND gently infuses serum into</p>
<p>epidermis</p>
<p>• immediately noticeable results</p>
<p>• results in firmer, brighter, more hydrated skin</p>

<p><strong>Exceptional New Product on the Market for Facial Redness, Accutane Redness, and post-procedure, while treating skin aging and wrinkles!</strong></p>
<p><a title="Pyratine-6 Link" href="http://www.radiantskinclinic.com/products/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=87">Pyratine-6</a> is a new product that is a derivative of Kinetin.

<p>It calms sensitive, compromised skin.  It reduces redness in association with acne and  Our Accutane users have found it soothes their red, dry skin. Improves skin texture by 45% in two weeks.</p>
<p>Our Aestheticians are asked all the time if there is a product that is good for sensitive skin, acne prone skin and helps with wrinkles at the same time? Finally, we have Pyratine-6 to recommend for both.   It&#8217;s pricey but worth every penny!</p>

<p>As professionals, we are constantly striving to improve the quality and outcome of our procedures. One of the simplest ways to do so is to focus on effective skin preparation. Now our pretreatment protocols nearly always include the <a title="Clarisonic Skin Care Brush" href="http://www.radiantskinclinic.com/products/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=18">Clarisonic Skin Care Brush</a>. We have found that sonic cleansing technology provides a tremendous advantage over surface cleansing. After cleansing with the <a title="Clarisonic" href="http://www.radiantskinclinic.com/products/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=18">Clarisonic</a>, the skin is noticeably more receptive to professional procedures and treatments, as as as to the patient&#8217;s home care regimen.</p>
<p>The central benefit of sonic pretreatment cleansing is evidence of increased absorption. One of our nurses was the first to observe that topical cosmeceutical products appeared to deliver increased benefit when preceded by use of the <a title="Clarisonic" href="http://www.radiantskinclinic.com/products/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=18">Clarisonic</a>.</p>
<h4>Benefits:</h4>
<ul class="bulletList">
<li>6 times more makeup removal</li>
<li>Leaves skin feeling and looking younger and smoother</li>
<li>Cleanses so well that products absorb better</li>
<li>Gentle enough for twice daily use</li>
<li>Helps reduce oily areas, dry skin patches and blemishes</li>
<li>Helps reduce the appearance of visible pores</li>
<li>Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles</li>
</ul>
<p><strong> Testimonial from Users:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>“Want proof that it cleans? I wash off my makeup first with (“name of brand”) soap, and the washcloth is dirty. Then I use <span class="caps">Clarisonic</span> and the head is gray—clearly the soap and scrub are not getting all the dirt, but <span class="caps">Clarisonic</span> is.” —Stephanie M., Seattle, <abbr title="Washington">WA</abbr></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Steven F. told us, “I have adult acne, large pores and fine lines. I have been using my <span class="caps">Clarisonic</span> for three weeks and my skin looks great. What is amazing is that something so gentle to your skin can actually make dramatic improvements.”</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>“It deep cleans my pores, reduces the appearance of fine lines and makes my skin baby-soft. It has my gray-looking skin appearing healthier and smooth. Shaving is no longer drudgery; I can get a close shave.” – Steven F.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Tania B. in Redmond, <abbr title="Washington">WA</abbr>, “I was curious to try the <span class="caps">Clarisonic</span> as I had read such excellent reviews about it. I was ‘in love’ straightaway! I have also noticed that I don’t need as much foundation coverage as I did before. My skin feels noticeably softer, smoother and appears more toned.”</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Wei L. in New York, “I just bought the <span class="caps">Clarisonic</span> skin cleaning brush and have been using it for about 2 weeks. I’m thrilled with the device and already recommended it to all my friends. I’m also a freelance make-up artist and will be recommending this to my clients as well.”</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>“In the 20+ years I’ve been in the cosmetic industry, there is nothing that I have ever come across that I have been so astounded by than my <span class="caps">Clarisonic</span> brush.” — Martin K.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>“My <span class="caps">Clarisonic</span>, what can I say? To be without it would be like being without a toothbrush! It is definitely a must have for anyone with skin, so, that means, everyone must have one! I mean, who wouldn’t want clearer, firmer, younger, healthier, radiant looking skin? It’s really a no-brainer.” — Martin K.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Anita R. in Tigard, <abbr title="Oregon">OR</abbr> told us, “I am now 48 and I can honestly say that my skin looks better than it did when I was in my early twenties. And it’s all because of <span class="caps">Clarisonic</span>!”</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>“Now I can see how much better my anti-aging skin care is working. I get compliments every day on my skin, and I seldom wear foundation now. I will never go without <span class="caps">Clarisonic</span>. It’s a vital part of my every day skin care routine.” — Anita R., Tigard, <abbr title="Oregon">OR</abbr></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>“I notice that my moisturizing products work better, using less.…I really rave to everyone about how the <span class="caps">Clarisonic</span> works to keep my throat and neck looking smoother and ’taut-er’. I use mineral makeup and find the <span class="caps">Clarisonic</span> really gets the residue out of my skin so much better than some abrasive cleansers I’ve tried. All in all, a great product that does what it says it will do and then some. I wish I had had this 30 years ago!” — Carol V.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This article was featured in the Aesthetic Buyers Guide Jan/Feb 2007 Issue:</p>
<p><strong>“By enhancing cell repair, the aging<br />
process is slowed down and damage to<br />
the skin is reduced.”</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/7589/nia24onlinelogoxv9.png" alt="nia24 image" /></p>
<p>The Pro-Niacin molecule is the backbone of the NIA 24 skincare<br />
product line manufactured by Niadyne, Inc. (Research<br />
Triangle Park, N.C. and Tucson, Ariz.), and distributed exclusively<br />
through Mentor Corporation (Santa Barbara, Calif.).</p>
<p>“I truly believe that the Pro-Niacin molecule is one of the best<br />
breakthroughs we have seen in anti-aging skincare since retinoic<br />
acid,” said Julie Salmon, M.D., a dermatologist and partner at<br />
Southwest Skin Specialists in Phoenix and Scottsdale, Ariz. “This<br />
molecule is the most active form of niacin. Niacin has fantastic<br />
effects on the skin. It is really the energy vitamin. In this active<br />
form, niacin fuels cell repair. Although our body has a natural<br />
repair system in place, it is not always at its optimum. Niacin actually<br />
helps to energize this cell repair system at the DNA level.”<br />
Dr. Salmon noted that many competing skincare products focus<br />
on collagen or surface changes in the skin. <strong>“But repairing DNA<br />
is a direct key to potentially reducing the risk of skin cancer and<br />
slowing the aging process.”</strong></p>
<p>All four <strong>NIA 24 skincare products</strong>: a <a href="http://www.radiantskinclinic.com/products/product.php?productid=16770&amp;cat=0&amp;page=1">Gentle Cleansing Cream</a>,<br />
a <a href="http://www.radiantskinclinic.com/products/product.php?productid=16771&amp;cat=0&amp;page=1">Physical Cleansing Scrub</a>, a <a href="http://www.radiantskinclinic.com/products/product.php?productid=16772&amp;cat=0&amp;page=1">Skin Strengthening Complex<br />
repair cream</a> and a <a href="http://www.radiantskinclinic.com/products/product.php?productid=16773&amp;cat=0&amp;page=1">Sun Damage Prevention 100% Mineral<br />
Sunscreen SPF 30</a>, contain the Pro-Niacin molecule.<br />
Dr. Salmon strongly recommends the <a href="http://www.radiantskinclinic.com/products/product.php?productid=16772&amp;cat=0&amp;page=1">repair cream</a>. “It is non-irritating<br />
and very cosmetically elegant. It also provides outstanding<br />
hydration by reducing transepidermal water loss.” Patients apply<br />
the cream at night or twice a day. Another option is for patients<br />
to use the <a href="http://www.radiantskinclinic.com/products/product.php?productid=16773&amp;cat=0&amp;page=1">NIA 24 sunscreen</a> during the day and the repair cream<br />
at night.</p>
<p>According to Dr. Salmon, the <a href="http://www.radiantskinclinic.com/products/product.php?productid=16771&amp;cat=0&amp;page=1">cleansing scrub</a> provides “a nice<br />
amount of gentle exfoliation with jojoba beads, which houses the<br />
active ingredient. The beads provide gentle physical exfoliation,<br />
so it is a great product to use in the shower, for instance.” People<br />
can use the cleansing scrub on the face, neck, chest and even<br />
hands and arms, two to three times a week.</p>
<p>For daily usage, the <a href="http://www.radiantskinclinic.com/products/product.php?productid=16773&amp;cat=0&amp;page=1">SPF 30 mineral sunscreen</a> “is excellent.<br />
For daily facial sunscreens, once the SPF is above 30, you tend<br />
to compromise the cosmetic elegance, which decreases patient<br />
compliance,” Dr. Salmon noted. Mineral sunscreens are less irritating<br />
than chemical sunscreens and offer broad-spectrum protection.<br />
The mineral sunscreen can also act as adjunct protective<br />
therapy after a light chemical peel or a laser procedure for<br />
optimum full broad-spectrum ultraviolet A and B coverage.<br />
“Mineral sunscreens reduce the potential for irritation,” Dr.<br />
Salmon pointed out.</p>
<p>Typically, within the first month of using a combination of the<br />
<a href="http://www.radiantskinclinic.com/products/product.php?productid=16774&amp;cat=0&amp;page=1">NIA 24 skincare products</a>, “patients will notice that their skin is<br />
much smoother,” Dr. Salmon observed. “It is usually the textural<br />
changes that people will notice first. Skin is also better hydrated.”<br />
<strong>At about three months, “skin tone has improved considerably. In<br />
addition, the general redness of the skin tends to be diminished<br />
and much more even in its pigmentation. Brown pigment often<br />
becomes softened.”</strong></p>
<p>Dr. Salmon recommends that patients begin a skincare regimen<br />
with the <a href="http://www.radiantskinclinic.com/products/product.php?productid=16774&amp;cat=0&amp;page=1">NIA 24 line</a> because it is extremely non-irritating and<br />
enhances hydration. “The skin barrier also becomes stronger and<br />
patients notice immediate results,” she said. Later, patients can<br />
comfortably start using a retinoid because “their skin has been<br />
prepared to receive more irritating agents.”</p>
<p>Tess Mauricio, M.D., a dermatologist and owner of Scripps<br />
Ranch Dermatology and Cosmetic Center in San Diego, Calif.,<br />
has been dispensing the niacin-based product line for about five years. “I think there is very good science behind it, so it is not your<br />
ordinary cosmeceutical,” she noted. “Patients are able to tolerate<br />
the products well and they are efficacious. Patients are very, very<br />
happy with the results. I recall only two people over the past five<br />
years who were unable to tolerate the products because of slight<br />
irritation. Every other person has told me they love the products.”<br />
Besides being easy to apply, the <a href="http://www.radiantskinclinic.com/products/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=60">NIA 24 product line</a> acts as<br />
an anti-inflammatory agent, “so it is great for patients with chronic<br />
sun damage or those who have very sensitive skin from<br />
rosacea, for example,” Dr. Mauricio said.<br />
Furthermore, the Pro-Niacin molecule “has good science to show that it prevents the<br />
transfer of pigment to the top layer of the skin, so it sort of acts as<br />
a lightening agent, but without being a hydroquinone product.”</p>
<p>Hence, the <a href="http://www.radiantskinclinic.com/products/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=60">NIA 24 line</a> is “great for maintenance, especially for<br />
patients who undergo laser treatments. <strong>There is also a decrease in<br />
the recurrence of brown spots, broken capillaries and rosacea.”</strong><br />
Patients may also reap the medical benefit of potentially reducing<br />
sun damage.</p>
<p>Dr. Mauricio encourages most of her patients to invest in all four<br />
NIA 24 products if they are financially able. “I love every single<br />
one of these products.” The <a href="http://www.radiantskinclinic.com/products/product.php?productid=16774&amp;cat=0&amp;page=1">complete package</a> costs the patient a<br />
little more than $200 for a two to three month supply. “This is not<br />
very expensive compared to other physician-dispensed products,”<br />
Dr. Mauricio noted.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.radiantskinclinic.com/products/product.php?productid=16771&amp;cat=0&amp;page=1">Physical Cleansing Scrub</a> should be used two to three times<br />
a week to exfoliate skin, while the <a href="http://www.radiantskinclinic.com/products/product.php?productid=16770&amp;cat=0&amp;page=1">Gentle Cleansing Cream</a> should<br />
be used to cleanse on days when the Physical Cleansing Scrub is<br />
not used. The <a href="http://www.radiantskinclinic.com/products/product.php?productid=16772&amp;cat=0&amp;page=1">Skin Strengthening Complex repair cream</a> should be<br />
applied twice a day, and the <a href="http://www.radiantskinclinic.com/products/product.php?productid=16773&amp;cat=0&amp;page=1">Sun Damage Prevention 100%<br />
Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30</a> in the morning, every day.<br />
“Given that the Pro-Niacin molecule can reverse some sun damage<br />
is a big plus for a lot of my patients here in San Diego<br />
because many have been sun worshippers for years,” Dr.<br />
Mauricio said.</p>
<p>In a post-Fraxel laser study, “we found that every single patient<br />
could tolerate treatment when NIA 24 was applied afterwards,”<br />
Dr. Mauricio conveyed. “<a href="http://www.radiantskinclinic.com/products/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=60">NIA 24 products</a> also accelerated healing<br />
and minimized redness.” Healing time was reduced from<br />
around five days to three days.<br />
According to Dr. Salmon, “The Pro-Niacin molecule addresses<br />
top to bottom care for the skin. In the epidermis, water loss is<br />
reduced. The molecule also helps thicken the epidermis. And in<br />
the dermis, the molecule helps the health of the collagen by<br />
reducing some of the glycation and hardening of the collagen,<br />
which occurs with age and contributes to wrinkles. Nearly all my<br />
patients love the <a href="http://www.radiantskinclinic.com/products/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=60">NIA 24 products</a>. Skin looks better because it is<br />
healthier.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi there,</p>
<p>I wanted to order some more products but I needed some clarification first.</p>
<p><strong>Q.</strong> I&#8217;m currently finishing off my Neostrata Plus AHA 15% for the face and I&#8217;m looking to pick up a new AHA, so what is the difference between DCL AHA revitalizing lotion for the face 10% or 20% and the MD Forte Facial Lotion 15%?  There seems to be a large price difference, is the pH level relatively the same, are they equally good manufacturers of AHA?</p>
<p><strong>A.</strong> DCL AHA Revitalizing Lotion for Face 10% is a 10% glycolic acid based lotion whereas the former is a 20% glycolic acid lotion (twice the exfoliating power). If you feel your skin needs a “bump” up in exfoliation – then I would recommended going to the 20% strength not backward to the 10%.  The difference between DCL and MD Forte is the way the glycolic acid in the products are buffered. DCL can cause redness and irritation on the skin and in some cases cannot be tolerated by more compromised skin types (such as sensitive skin or rosacea prone skin). They both contain the active ingredient “Glycolic Acid” but MD Forte is not as harsh on the skin so many customer’s like this product because it causes no skin reaction and they still get clarity and smoothness to the skin. MD Forte is also considered more “cosmetically elegant” meaning the products are formulated with base ingredients that, when applied, glide easily across the skin and absorb quickly and provide increased moisturization in the process.</p>
<p><strong>Q.</strong> Secondly, is it important to use a cleanser with an AHA when using glycolic creams?  A Neostrata rep told me that Neostrata cleansers, Cliniderm cleansers and Spectro Jel cleansers don&#8217;t strip the skin, so they&#8217;re ideal when using AHA products on the face.  Is the MD Forte cleanser 12% too strong, if I&#8217;ve only been using the Neostrata 4% cleanser?</p>
<p><strong>A.</strong> When choosing a cleanser to use with an AHA program, it is important to realize that the cleanser must not only remove dirt, makeup and oil but must also prepare the skin for the next step in the treatment program. I always recommend that you use the cleanser in the same line of exfoliating products you choose to use. Why? Because the cleanser has been formulated to work synergistically with those treatment products and adequately prepares the skin so the treatment products work as effectively as possible. Usually you will choose the cleanser in the line based on your skin type as most manufacturers offer more than one cleanser.  The percentage of glycolic acid in the cleanser basically only prepares the skin, since a cleanser is washed off – the glycolic acid and any other active ingredients in the cleanser do not stay on the skin for long enough to actually exfoliate, but they do reduce the pH of the skin to the point where the treatment product in the line works most effectively.</p>
<p><strong>Q.</strong> Thirdly, does it make a difference using a Vit. C serum verus a a Vit. C cream?  When is the best time to use my Vit. C if I&#8217;m using a AHA in the morning and my retinol at night?  Can I layer the serum underneath my AHA?  ( I also use an SPF 60 by Ombrelle or La Roche Posay daily on top of my AHA)</p>
<p><strong>A.</strong> You choose the Vitamin C based on your skin type or the skin care regimen you are using. Meaning, if you are using three or four products in the morning and you want to add another treatment product in that program, then you need to evaluate the base of the products you are currently using to determine which base you choose in the Vitamin C.  Vitamin C should be used in the a.m. (as the product is designed to protect the skin from free radical damage which comes from UV exposure). <strong>Proper layering of products is always thinnest to thickest</strong>. So, in your case, say your using an AHA Cream in the morning (because your skin is on the normal/dry side) and you want to add a Vitamin C – you would choose a Vitamin C Serum. Why? Because if you chose the Vitamin C Cream and you are using an AHA Cream – both are thicker bases so the Vitamin C Cream base will not allow the AHA Cream base to penetrate the skin and do it’s job. Serums are almost always a safer bet when layering products.  You would use the Vitamin C Serum (after cleansing) let that absorb into the skin, then apply your AHA Lotion or Cream over that, and then lastly, your sunblock.  Continue to use your retinol at night after cleansing.</p>
<p><strong>Q.</strong> I&#8217;ve been using a Vit. A acid (tretinoic acid?) from my dermatologist in a 0.025 or 0.05% nightly for a few years.  Would the Skinceuticals Retinol 0.5% night cream, or the Retinol Complex, or the Night Complex Level I be a better alternative?  Are the roughly the same thing?  Also, can I apply the retinol sparingly around the eye area?</p>
<p><strong>A.</strong> If you are already using a prescription strength retinol (tretinoin) from your physician you would get little benefit from changing to SkinCeuticals Retinol. They are not comparable. Prescription strength Retin-A is much more effective and always a better choice if you can tolerate it. Most people go to the alternative (non-prescription) strengths because they either do not want to get a rx for a retin-a from their physician or they simply cannot tolerate prescription strength retin-a. Whether or not you can tolerate your Retinol around the eye area remains to be seen.  The only way to know is to try it once and see how the skin of the eye area tolerates it. I would recommend you either start with the lower strength retinol to see how you react to it or mix the retinol with a moisturizer to dilute the potency for less irritation. You may want to touch base with the dermatologist that prescribed the product to see what he/she recommends before trying it.</p>
<p>I hope this information has been helpful to making your product selections.  Please feel free to contact me at any time if you have further questions – I am happy to share my knowledge with you and hopefully, the selections you make will pay off with smooth, beautiful skin (which is what we ultimately strive for). I have used just about every product line out there at one time or another and I am currently embarking on testing out the Obagi Skin System to see how this system differs (in results) to other lines I have used in the past. Up to this point, I have not felt the need to try this system (which is pretty aggressive) but as I get older I see changes in my own skin that warrant changes in my skin care routine. So, if your ever interested in feedback on this system, I will be able to offer my experience with this soon!</p>
<p>Radiant Skin Clinic always strives to bring you up-to-date information on products available through physicians and offer you knowledge and understanding of skin care in general. Please feel free to contact our estheticians ANY TIME with questions or concerns you may have. We promise to give you sound advice and recommendations &#8211; our goal is not to &#8220;sell you products&#8221; but to help you discover the best skin care for your needs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>- Reduces the visible signs of acne in as early as two weeks&#8230; &#8211; - When I first heard this I was like, “yeah, right” every acne system claims faster, better results what makes this one any different or more unique?  As an esthetician, I get quite a few manufacturers boasting about their acne treatments and why we should use theirs in our clinic and believe me, I have tried dozens of different treatment modalities for mild to moderate acne. Some work okay for a while and then start to lose potency; most often, however, compliance is the number one problem with acne treatment.</p>
<p>Compliance, for most clients, diminishes with each day of the treatment because either they are not seeing the results they wanted fast enough or they get lazy and don’t want to have to bother with twice daily application of a treatment regimen. I cannot tell you how many times I have heard, “well, I tried Proactive but it dried me out and then stopped working” so now I decided to come in and have my acne treated. I have one hour of your time every six weeks – do you really think I can get your acne under control in that one hour?  Of course not!  If you are serious about treating acne and preventing future breakouts, then you must change your schedule to fit in a treatment regimen. Five (5) minutes in the morning <strong>or</strong> five (5) minutes in the evening, that’s it.</p>
<p>My sister is a typical acne sufferer. She is in her early 30’s and has had acne breakouts on and off since her teens. Her acne has changed over the years to a more cyclical breakout (hormone induced) but she still complains about the way her face looks and has begged me time and time again to help her. I have treated her in the office and sent her on her way with more acne products than I care to count – and every time, she comes back with her standard response “it worked for the first week or two and now my acne is back”. You can’t just treat acne while you have active lesions and expect that they are gone for good… A consistent daily regimen will prevent new breakouts from forming or at least significantly reduce the acne formation. If you can’t get your own sister to comply with a daily regimen, how can you expect clients you only see every few months to stick to a product regimen.</p>
<p>When <a href="http://www.radiantskinclinic.com/products/product.php?productid=16801&amp;cat=0&amp;page=1">CLENZIderm M.D. by Obagi</a> came out in December 2006 during its “soft launch”, our clinic was one of the first to get our hands on the kit.  <strong>The system technology is unique and we were intrigued by the concept – but would it work long-term?</strong> We started two of our clients on it that had suffered with acne breakouts for over a year and both called within two weeks of using the system with positive feedback. Okay – but what about a month later? two months later?&#8230;<br />
Four months later – and still going strong for both clients – one still has minor breakouts each month around her cycle, but overall both clients have been acne free!  They are thrilled with the results and we are surprised that they stuck it out. One of the clients said the reason why she continued to use it is because she saw her face clearing up within the first week and she got so excited that she couldn’t wait to see how she looked at week two and then week three. By six weeks into the program – this particular client had no active pimples on her cheeks and jawline, and it had been over two years since she was 100% blemish-free.</p>
<p>Now, for the real test. I bought one and gave it to my sister. If anyone could sabotage the great feedback we have had – it would be her! On day two of starting the regimen (April 14th, 2007) she called saying that her face smelled funny and was that normal?  Does it smell like menthol, I asked? Yeah – that’s all I can smell on and off all day long I keep getting bursts of menthol smell on my face, she replied. Please, I said, give it two weeks and then if you don’t like it you can stop…the menthol is suppose to soothe the skin and calm down inflammation.</p>
<p>It is now the 11th of May 2007 and she is still using the <a href="http://www.radiantskinclinic.com/products/product.php?productid=16801&amp;cat=0&amp;page=1">CLENZIderm</a>! Why, because by the second week of using it – her face had cleared up and around the time she had her first cycle after starting it – no breakouts. Now – that is a true TEST of a product.</p>
<p>Here’s the kicker &#8211; - you can’t just use one product out of the three-step system, you MUST use all three products systematically for it to work properly. No cheating! With this system, it is all or nothing. Of course, the Foaming Cleanser lasts longer than the Serum Gel so we have taken some of the kits apart to allow our customer’s to purchase each item separately for convenience.</p>
<p>What makes this system unique?  The Benzoyl Peroxide in this system is in liquid form. What does this mean? It means that the Benzoyl Peroxide is one-tenth the size of a regular benzoyl peroxide molecule and this allows it to penetrate into the pore where the p. acne bacteria is thriving and causing inflammation, redness, etc. This particular type of bacteria cannot live in the presence of oxygen. Benzoyl Peroxide emits oxygen into the pore, killing the bacteria on contact disrupting its “reign of terror” on the skin. <a href="http://www.radiantskinclinic.com/products/product.php?productid=16804&amp;cat=0&amp;page=1">Step 1 – Daily Care Foaming Cleanser </a>removes surface debris and oils from the skin with salicylic acid. <a href="http://www.radiantskinclinic.com/products/product.php?productid=16805&amp;cat=0&amp;page=1">Step 2 – Pore Therapy </a>opens the pore and lowers the pH of the skin preparing it for the third step. <a href="http://www.radiantskinclinic.com/products/product.php?productid=16802&amp;cat=0&amp;page=1">Step 3 – Serum Gel</a> penetrates the pore and kills the bacteria. The key is the size of the BPO molecule and <a href="http://www.radiantskinclinic.com/products/product.php?productid=16801&amp;cat=0&amp;page=1">CLENZIderm</a> is the only system on the market that has this technology.</p>
<p>I recommend that ANYONE who has acne breakouts that are mild to moderately severe should try this system. Teens under 12 years of age should be cleared by a physician to use this system prior to starting it.</p>
<p>The cost for this kit is $70 and it lasts about two months (8 weeks) – that is a little over a $1.00 per day for the treatment. Is your skin worth it?</p>
<p>** Note: Benzoyl Peroxide may bleach hair or dyed fabrics**</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>Here&#8217;s what our customers are saying about RevitaLash™:</em></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;This is my second month and this is unbelievable &#8211; my lashes have doubled!&#8221;</p>
<p>— Lori, Texas</p>
<p>&#8220;I didn`t know it was so easy to get what I wanted! No more extensions or false eyelashes. Now it`s my own natural lashes!&#8221;</p>
<p>— Samantha T., Los Angeles, CA</p>
<p>&#8220;As a mother of small children, I`m often rushed and busy. However, it`s nice to know that I can rush out of the door without wearing mascara.&#8221;</p>
<p>— Debbie S., Santa Barbara, CA</p>
<p>“I&#8217;ve been using your product for only two weeks and I really notice the difference in my lashes. The results are dramatic. I&#8217;m very impressed!”</p>
<p>— Marian, California</p>
<p>“I&#8217;ve just been using Revitalash for about a week and a half and I&#8217;ve noticed some results already. At first, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me when I looked at my lashes in the mirror, but I was not mistaken when I saw longer, fuller, and darker lashes. I hope to have even longer lashes in the next few upcoming weeks!”</p>
<p>— Joyce, IL</p>
<p>“I purchased this product as a last resort. I had started trying to wear false eyelashes due to my own were becoming thin and barely noticible. In the process of removing the false lashes, I managed to pull out half of what little eyelashes that I had to begin with. Frustrated and desperate, I went looking on the internet to find a way to replace my lashes and came across Revitalash. It has been around 4 weeks since I began using your product and what a difference!!! You not only cannot tell where I pulled most of my lashes out, but my lashes are thicker and fuller than before!! I love your product!! Thanks for giving my lashes back!!”</p>
<p>— Angela, VA</p>
<p>“I had just finished chemo, lost all my hair and lashes, and within days the last of my brows had completely come off. The product says that you can see results as early as three weeks, but I actually started to see results within three DAYS! With each day that has passed, my eyebrows have become more defined and much fuller and thicker than what I originally had before chemo. Within five days, my lashes began to peek out from their roots. It is amazing to think that this is only eleven days later and I have brows that no longer need a pencil and lashes that will soon be able to wear mascara! I now wake up excited every morning eager to look in the mirror and see what amazing growth has taken place overnight!”</p>
<p>— Julie, CA</p>
<p>“I started using this product about three weeks ago and my lashes have definitely gotten longer. Now I`m starting to see new lashes growing in between the old ones. I no longer need to mess with false lashes. Yeah!”</p>
<p>— Karen J</p>
<p>“I am a cancer patient who lost all hair, lashes and brows, and started using this product 11 days ago. I am still in complete awe that my brows started growing back within 3 days and lashes within 5 days. I am hooked on this product!”</p>
<p>— Julie</p>
<p>“I originally wanted the Jan Marini Eyelash product but it is very hard to get. When I called, the esthetician recommended Revitalash and I have to say, it is great! I have only been using it three weeks but have started to notice a difference already. I am a lifer&#8230;”</p>
<p>— Kelli Giraldi</p>
<p>“This product is awesome! I noticed results in 3 weeks and after 9 weeks I had to cut my eyelashes because they were getting too obnoxious! I love this product!”</p>
<p>— Heather Felix</p>
<p>“I cannot believe the results of Revitalash. I&#8217;ve only been using it for a week and I already notice my lashes are longer and thicker. I was really skeptical of it, even after I read the information and testimonials on your website, but I am amazed!&#8221;</p>
<p>—Amee</p>
<p>“My lashes were already thining before I had my chemo but they came out after that. They started to grow back but very brittle and very sparce and short. I recently ordered &amp; started using Revitalash faithfully every night for almost 4 weeks and noticed an immediate difference in just 3 weeks. I notice how long and thick and healthy they seem and I can now wear my mascara. I have recommended to all my friends too. Amazing results!”</p>
<p>—Kathleen, Texas</p>
<p>“I&#8217;ve only been using RevitaLash for 6 weeks and already see a dramatic difference! I even skipped a few nights of treatment and it still worked. This is only after 6 weeks so I can&#8217;t imagine how great they will look after a few months. I am definitely a life long for sure!”</p>
<p>—Cici, CA</p>
<p>“Several years ago I started losing my eyebrow hair. I have always hated seeing women with &#8220;drawn on&#8221; crooked eyebrows, and found myself spending up to 30 minutes each morning trying to make my brow look &#8220;real&#8221;. I was considering tattoo when I found out about Revitalash. I decided to give it a try before doing something so permanent. Revitalash is wonderful! Although my brows are sparse, I have hair and can follow the natural shape. I couldn&#8217;t be a happier customer!! If you ever have a potential customer that needs to see proof, I&#8217;m your girl! Thank you so much.”</p>
<p>—Patricia, CO</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_93" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 199px"><a href="http://radiantskinclinic.com/products/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=19"><img class="size-full wp-image-93" title="MD Forte" src="http://radiantskinclinic.com/resources/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/MD-Forte.jpg" alt="M.D. Forte Skin Care Products" width="189" height="131" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Skin rejuvenation for even the most sensitive skin</p></div>
<p>M.D. FORTÉ  is a comprehensive alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) skin care system. Only M.D. FORTÉ  products offer the scientific advantage of combining glycolic acid (an AHA naturally found in sugar cane) with the process of partial neutralization. This allows us to create products with significantly higher concentrations of glycolic acid plus a pH closer to that of normal skin to help minimize irritation.</p>
<p>We also offer several non-AHA products for more sensitive or vulnerable skin. So whatever your skin type, you can enjoy maximum results with less irritation with a personalized regimen to cleanse, renew, hydrate, and protect your skin.</p>
<p>The M.D. FORTÉ  alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) skin care system is based on two decades of glycolic acid research resulting in products with higher AHA levels than similar products, giving you the strength to deliver beautiful results-without irritation.</p>
<p>M.D. FORTÉ  lets you and your physician develop a personalized skin care regimen that&#8217;s just right for you. Combined with your physician&#8217;s expertise, your M.D. FORTÉ  regimen can help you attain:</p>
<p>* Visibly smoother and softer skin<br />
* Diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles<br />
* Increased skin hydration for a softer feel<br />
* Balanced skin tone<br />
* Improvement in oily or acne-prone skin</p>
<p>AHA&#8217; s shed, or exfoliate, dead cells of the dry outer layer of the epidermis, which results in the appearance of younger, healthier-looking skin.</p>
<p>AHA&#8217; s also limit transepidermal water loss, thereby improving the skin&#8217;s moisture-binding ability. Skin that retains more water becomes smoother and younger-looking, and diminishes the effects of sun damage.</p>
<p>Glycolic acid, naturally found in sugar cane and available in M.D. FORTÉ  products, is a particularly effective form of AHA. This is because its small molecular size means more active molecules of glycolic acid are available in a given concentration as compared with lactic acid and polyhydroxy acid (PHA). <strong></strong> <strong>The result?</strong> More activity for faster delivery of unique benefits when and where they&#8217;re needed most.</p>
<p>However, while glycolic acid helps shed dead skin cells and hydrate the skin, it can also cause irritation. In fact, the higher the concentration of glycolic acid, the better the results-but the greater the irritation too.</p>
<p>M.D. FORTÉ  is unique in that it achieves a healthy balance between concentration and comfort, maximizing the advantages of glycolic acid with minimal irritation. It does this through a process called partial neutralization.</p>
<p>Partial neutralization creates a reservoir of glycolic acid molecules that permits both first- and second-phase penetration. Because the glycolic acid is released over an extended period of time, higher concentrations of acid can be used to achieve maximum results. Importantly, partial neutralization also raises the product pH closer to the pH of normal skin, further reducing irritation potential to provide maximum efficacy, minimum irritation, and beautiful results.</p>
