			<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>

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive treatment for a vast 
range of skin problems including, sun damage, enlarged 
pores, blackheads and comedones, stretch marks, and uneven 
skin. This procedure is slightly more aggressive than 
glycolic peeling, but is still considered a "lunchtime" treatment. 


For better results, many patients alternate or combine 
glycolic peels with microdermabrasion treatments. [...]]]></description>

<td valign="top" align="left" class="text2">
<p class="text">Collagen Induction Therapy is a procedure which                  stimulates the skin to produce new collagen, thereby reducing                  wrinkles and improving skin texture. The principle behind collagen                  channeling using the Collagen Induction Therapy treatment is simple.                  When it is applied to the skin, under topical numbing agents,                  a roller with very fine needles or a special needle is used to                  create many microscopic channels deep into the dermis of the skin,                  which stimulate your own body to produce new collagen. These channels                  also improve the penetration of vitamins A and C creams about                  1000 times. Vitamins A and C stimulate skin renewal, thereby making                  the skin appear fresher and younger.</p>
<p><strong>Collagen Induction Therapy can typically cause the following                  results in your skin:</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p class="text">• Soften fine lines<br />
• Contribute towards skin thickening<br />
• Reduce the appearance of acne scars and other depressed                    scars on the body<br />
• Help improve stretch marks</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="text2"><strong>Advantages of undergoing Collagen Induction Therapy                  are:</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p class="text">• The process stimulates physiological responses<br />
• The treatment is not painful<br />
• A very short healing period &#8211; you may be back in public                    in 24 hours.<br />
• The treatment is cost effective<br />
• It can be used on thin skin<br />
• There is no permanent damage to the skin<br />
• It can safely be repeated for better results<br />
• It can be used on laser resurfaced skin<br />
• It can be used on all areas of the face, neck and body</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="text">Collagen Induction Therapy can be performed using topical numbing agents for most areas of therapy.                  After numbing, a roller with micro-needles or a special needle                  is gently passed over the area to create channels into the deeper                  layers of the skin.</p>
<p class="text">The channels created enable very good penetration                  of topical solution or cream treatments applied after the procedure.                  Subsequent application of appropriate skin care products improves the skin&#8217;s overall result.<br />
<strong>How long is the procedure?</strong>
</p>
<p class="text">Treatment sessions range from 10 minutes to 1 hour,                  depending on the area being treated.</p>
<p><strong>How many treatments are needed?</strong></p>
<p class="text">This will depend on the degree of the problem and                  the patient’s expectations. Sessions are often spaced 2                  – 4 weeks apart.</p>
<p><strong>Is Collagen Induction Therapy painful?</strong></p>
<p class="text">The procedure usually requires anesthetic                  cream in some areas. There is usually                  no pain after the procedure.</p>
<p><strong>What body parts can you have it done on?</strong></p>
<p class="text">Collagen Induction Therapy may be done on any part                  of the face, neck or body.</p>
<p class="text"><strong>What is the recovery or downtime after? What should                  I expect after treatment?</strong></p>
<p class="text">Immediately after the procedure the skin is usually                  turns pink to red and may have areas of pinpoint bleeding. Redness may                  be noted within the first couple of days and may be covered by                  make-up.</p>
<p class="text">Swelling is common for the first few days and may                  last 7-10 days. At the end of 7 – 10 days, most of the reactions                  would have subsided.</p>
<p class="text">Normal cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen can be                  used immediately after the procedure.</p>
<p class="text">High concentration Vitamin A and C or other topical                  cream treatments like the Obagi System should be applied immediately                  after the procedure when the skin’s penetration is greatest.</p>
<p><strong>What changes can be realistically expected with Collagen Induction                  Therapy?</strong></p>
<p class="text">Collagen Induction Therapy will usually make the                  skin smoother, fresher and improve fine lines around the eyes,                  mouth and cheeks. Skin texture and brown marks will also improve                  in most cases.</p>
<p><strong>How long does it take to see improvement in the skin with Collagen                  Induction Therapy?</strong></p>
<p class="text">Collagen remodeling in normal skin takes at least                  90 days, so the effects of this treatment may not be fully appreciated                  for at least 3 months after the procedure. But the effects last                  for years in most people.</p>
<p><strong>How is it possible to get the best results from a treatment?</strong></p>
<p class="text">Evidence suggests that the results from Collagen                  Induction Therapy may be further improved by combining this treatment                  with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy (Quantum SR IPL) and the                  Aurora PhotoFacial. When the skin is red from this treatment,                  pulsed light is also better absorbed into the skin, and can further                  improve brown marks, broken capillaries and fine lines.</p>
<p><strong>How long do the effects of Collagen Induction Therapy last?</strong></p>
<p><span class="text">The new collagen produced by CIT lasts for                  a long time, unless the skin is further damaged by sun exposure,                  smoking or other external factors. As the skin ages some of the                  new collagen will also age. The duration of results vary from                  person to person but should last for some years.</span></p>
<p class="text">
<p class="text"><strong>How much does Collagen Induction Therapy Cost?</strong></p>
<p class="text">Pricing is solely dependent on areas being treated and the number of sessions required for the desired results. Consultation is mandatory before treatment can commence to ensure complete medical history and understanding of the procedure by the potential candidate.</p>

<p><img title="Clarisonic Brush Image" src="http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/6673/cs900bigky7.png" alt="Clarisonic Brush Image" align="top" /></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>

<p><strong>“By enhancing cell repair, the aging<br />
process is slowed down and damage to<br />
the skin is reduced.”</strong></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>
