Hi Rachel:  I use only the Coconut Enzyme or the Raspberry Peach enzyme on Retin-A users.  You can also use our seasonal Orangeberry enzyme.  Avoid use of acids and mechanical exfoliation.  Remember that Retin-A is going all the exfoliation for them; they just need some extractions and a mild facial.

To answer your question, avoid Lemon, Pomegranate, Blueberry and Pumpkin on Retin-A users.

I was wondering what enzymes I should avoid using on a client that uses Retin-a products?

Hi Amber:

Our 15% vitamin c contains 10% l-ascorbic acid which is sourced from sugar; it also contains 3% Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate and 2% Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate which are synthetic (man made).

Hi Lisa, I just had a newer client in and we were discussing where certain companies source ingredients etc. Anyway the topic came up on Vitamin C and she asked "well do you know where the vitamin c for skin script is sourced from?" I thought that was a great question and I would also like to know if you have that information available.
Thanks as usual :)

Cindy:  Thanks for the great input.  I like your answer about the dehydrated skin.

Katrina:  Sometimes I can't understand why some skin can be more reactive than others.  I just continue to try products until I find something that would work better.   I will put a new mask on the wish list for ultra sensitive skin.   I will also put an enzyme/exfoliant for ultra sensitive skin on the wish list.

Bryndi:  Actual Vitamin C (l-ascorbic acid) can create that tingly feeling, which I love because I know its working.  Some people cannot tolerate ascorbic acid and need a synthetic vitamin c, such as magnesium ascorbate phosphate.

Vanessa:  I use the enzyme or mask as a "slip" for the dermafile so its not so abrasive on the skin.  I use it very gently, with no pressure.  I use it to buff the skin without irritation.

All:  I have heard you loud and clear that we need a few new products.  When I say that something is on the wish list, I am not brushing you off; I really do listen and take your feedback into consideration as we bring out new products or change packaging.  I don't want to have too many products as to make the line overwhelming and confusing, but as we grow, new products can be a possibility for us.

Thanks for all your great info and feedback.

I always apply the Ageless Hydrating serum (mixed with Cucumber Hydrating Mist) first, before the C or Masque after a procedure or if client is very dehydrated.  I believe that when skin is dehydrated it "sucks up" whatever you put on too fast and results in a "stinging" sensation. FWIW - have never had any client experience discomfort...so I gotta believe that what I do is right. :)

I get a lot of stinging from the vit c serum but not the mask by itself. don't know if this is helpful but a few times i've skipped this step after a microderm to save already irritated skin.

Lisa, you don't use the Dermafiles dry, what do you use?
