surface skin build-up.

cleanser without stripping the skin’s natural oils. Daily use will help

Lactic acid, willow bark
extract, cucumber, and clover extracts.
Skin
Types / Conditions:
Normal, oily and combination.
When to use:
Morning and night.
Features:
- Betaplex Gentle Foaming Cleanser contains a gentle combination of
alpha and beta hydroxy acids in an oil-free, lightly foaming gel
designed to remove oils, grime and surface dead skin build-up. The alpha
hydroxy acids help stimulate new skin cells to the surface by
encouraging dry, lifeless old cells to fall away. This peeling and
stimulating process helps restore youthful looking translucency,
smoothness and color to the skin.
- Contains 1% alpha and beta hydroxy acids.
- Contains lactic acid. A naturally occurring alpha hydroxy acid found
sour milk and fermented products.
- Contains cucumber extract. Reputedly used by Cleopatra to preserve
her skin, the cucumber’s potency in worldwide, traditional skin-care
preparations is extraordinary. It’s juices have been used for over a
thousand years against wrinkles, lines, freckles, blemishes, sunburn and
dry skin. Cucumber is a natural astringent and helps tighten pores.
Beneficial skin smoothing constituents include glycine, glutamic acid,
linoleic acid, lysine, polyunsaturated fatty acids, squalene, tyrosine
and zinc.
- Contains red clover extract. The deep pink flowers have
traditionally been used as a cleansing herb for skin complaints due to
their anti-inflammatory activity.
- Contains skin benefitting phenolic glycosides, flavonoids and beta
hydroxy acid.
Benefits:
- Healthy, young looking skin has a texture that reflects light like
the surface of a diamond, it is silky smooth to the touch, and has a
healthy, rosy glow. Photo damaged and intrinsically aged skin no longer
sheds dead skin cells at the same frequency as young skin. The result is
a build-up of opaque skin cells creating the dry, devitalized, flat
complexion -- typical of old looking skin -- which hides the fresh, new
layer of skin beneath. It is this new surface that is revealed with
regular use of Betaplex.
- Regular use will help reveal a clearer, brighter complexion to
dramatically reduce the visible signs of aging -- fine lines, rough,
devitalized, dull looking skin.
- Non-greasy, lightly foaming, gel formulation helps restore a
smoother texture and healthy looking glow to the face, while leaving
skin thoroughly cleansed and refreshed.
- The gently lathering foam, rich in hydroxy acids, helps promote a
healthy looking glow to the face.
- Thoroughly cleanses and unclogs pores while helping to remove the
dry, thickened, outer layer of your skin.
- Can be used by women and men with all skin types except those with
very dry skin.
- Generally, improvement in the overall appearance of the skin can be
seen within 5 - 8 weeks of daily use.
Directions:
- Pour an amount the size of a thumbnail onto the palm of your hand.
- Drizzle water over the gel and whisk into a lather with the
fingertips of your other hand.
- Apply the foam to your face, massaging for about ten seconds. Avoid
eye area.
- Rinse with warm or cool water and washcloth.
- Apply toner of choice. We recommend Fresh Complexion Mist.
Note:
Within two minutes
after application, a slight tingling sensation may be felt due to the
higher concentration of hydroxy acid in the lathering cleanser. This will
subside momentarily. If discomfort occurs, rinse again with cool water and
discontinue use. To enhance the exfoliation process, use an exfoliating
mask once a week.
