What is the importance of a skincare regime versus just using one product?
All of our products are formulated to work well individually, but they perform even better when used with each other throughout the day and night as part of an anti-aging skincare program. The skin can become "used to” some ingredients in skincare products when they are constantly being applied multiple times a day with no break. To break this cycle the skin responds very well to using a product (or group of products) during the day then using a different product (or group of products) at night. This switching between morning and night therapies gives the skin a diversity of ingredients to work with as well as keep it from becoming “used to” any one ingredient. Please see our application guide to view recommended product regimes and combinations.

Why do you recommend using some formulas at opposite times of the day?
Many of our products are meant to be used at opposite times of the day from each other for two main reasons.  First, because we use high concentrations of active ingredients we could not combine the night and day products into just one product without having to lower the concentration of each active compound (or take some out entirely), which would reduce overall effectiveness. Second, some ingredients are less stable in the presence of others. For instance, copper peptides can become less effective when combined in the same treatment as hydroxy acids. Both are extremely effective for anti-aging so we split them between the night and day formulas so that your skin can receive their full effectiveness at different times of the day without risking interaction.

Why are there separate treatments for the eye area and face areas treatments?
The eyes have the most tell-tale signs of aging of the entire body. The undereye area has not only the most pronounced wrinkles of the face but also has issues specific to only that skin region (e.g. dark circles, bags, puffiness, etc). So we include special ingredient complexes in undereye products to target these specific concerns. There are also certain ingredients that work very well on the face but would produce possibly undesired effects if used around the eye area. For example, hydroxy acids are very effective when used on the face but because the skin around the eyes is so much thinner they can often be too strong for the delicate undereye region.
