Key Features & Benefits of Perfecting Essence
- Exclusive Dermal Surface Renewal (DSR) Technology gently firms, refines, and smoothes the skin, minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Bearberry, licorice, and mulberry extracts improve skin clarity by inhibiting melanin production.
- Mild, hydroxy acid-free formula contains a clinically proven, patent pending water-soluble ionic complex responsible for wrinkle reduction, skin smoothness, firming, brightening, and cell renewal.
- Perfect for sensitive skin; does not increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun's ultraviolet rays.
Key Features & Benefits of Serum Intensive
- Formulated with a synergistic complex of Alpha and Beta Hydroxy acids.
- Refines and retexturizes the skin, minimizing wrinkles and evening skin tone.
- Serum formulation applies effortlessly and leaves the skin feeling firm and smooth.
- Enriched with Ginkgo biloba and licorice extracts.
Key Contrasts
- Serum Intensive contains alpha-hydroxy acids which are effective exfoliators - but they can also be irritating, especially to sensitive skin. Perfecting Essence is non-acid, non-irritating, and can actually help calm irritated skin. Perfecting Essence is recommended over Serum Intensive for sensitive skin types.
- Perfecting Essence contains a trio of whitening ingredients: bearberry, mulberry, and licorice. Skin may become noticeably brighter by the inhibition of melanin production. Serum Intensive does not contain any specific whitening ingredients.
- Perfecting Essence increases the firmness of the skin in both deep and surface layers. Serum Intensive does not contain any specific firming ingredients.
- Both products are effective at minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Both products contain active amounts of Proflavanol-T and Proteo-C complexes.
Product Use
Normally, customers would choose either Serum or Perfecting Essence for their Sense regimen, not both. However, some research suggests a plateau effect occurs with alpha-hydroxy acid products, meaning primary benefits occur in the first two months of use (with less additional benefit over time). Many customers have experienced excellent results by alternating Perfecting Essence and Serum Intensive every 2-3 months. |
