Minimize multiple imperfections associated with aging, acne-prone and perimenopausal skin with this exclusive blend of surface-clearing, visible age-correcting Beta-Glucan, anti-redness Lichochalcone, ultra-soothing Meadowsweet, deeply hydrating Panthenol and Hyaluronic Acid, pore-clearing Betaine Salicylate and a total of 14% time-released Mandelic and Lactic Acids combined with the next generation in AHAs – the patented AHAminoPlexTM molecule, developed by the pioneers of AHA skin therapy, Drs. Van Scott and Yu.
Leading Clear Skin Ultra Gel’s surface repair processes is immune-enhancing Beta (1-3) Glucan, a highly purified Biological Response Modifier from Baker’s yeast proven in multiple clinical studies to rapidly clear surface imperfections by challenging skin to correct a variety of problems, including surface blemishes, visible redness, signs of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, aging contours, surface lines and deeper
wrinkles, dryness and ongoing sensitivity due to a damaged skin barrier.
Delivering Clear Skin Ultra Gel’s dramatic yet gentle exfoliation benefits are a blend of next generation
AHA’s and BHA:
AHAminoPlex is produced via a unique bonding process that attaches Arginine, a naturally-derived
Amino Acid, to the pure Glycolic Acid molecule, prolonging glycolic delivery into skin over a period
of eight-to-sixteen minutes. This controlled delivery system avoids the severe spike of irritation that occurs within seconds of applying unbound, uncontrolled glycolic acid. Tests comparing the AHAminoPlex molecule to uncontrolled Glycolic Acid show both acids produce the same exfoliation, cell turnover, hydration and other age-fighting benefits. But only AHAminoPlex has a controlled delivery system that allows skin to tolerate the acid with little-to-no sensations of irritation – including stinging, burning and redness – even on the first use (some sensitive skin may experience passive
discomfort during the first few applications).
The AHAminoPlex molecule is accompanied by irritation-free Mandelic and Lactic Acids attached to a dedicated delivery vehicle.
Mandelic Acid is the largest molecule in the AHA family, limiting it to the skin’s surface to prevent irritation, yet clinical studies show its effects go deep to reduce all forms of visible hyperpigmentation
(especially post-breakout and ingrown hair), help clear pores, control surface blemishes, enhance firmness and dissolve unwanted surface cells for an immediately fresher, smoother afterfeel. Mandelic Acid is especially effective to visibly reduce signs of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation seen in Skin of Color. Although Mandelic Acid is derived from bitter almonds, many dermatologists believe
it is safe for use by those with nut allergies due to its lack of penetration and the absence of nut protein - the actual cause of nut allergies. Even so, it is advised to perform a patch or allergy test prior to use by those with nut allergies.
Betaine Salicylate is a 50/50 complex of Betaine, the skin conditioning sugar from Sugar Beets, and the pore-clearing BHA, Salicylic Acid - resulting in a stable, time-released molecule to enhance
prolonged BHA delivery.
Beta-Glucan, Mandelic and Hyaluronic Acids, and Betaine Salicylate are especially effective on skin conditions that occur during peri-menopause: redness, surface blemishes, oily and dry patches, rosacea, deepening lines and wrinkles, loss of firmness and signs of hyperpigmentation.
To further minimize the risk of redness, tingling and stinging, ultra-soothing Lichochalcone from Chinese
Licorice interrupts the biochemical cascade that leads to redness and other discomfort. This yellow molecule also decreases lipase, a lipid-destructive enzyme produced by bacteria on skin’s surface and in pores. Researchers have linked lipase to the heightened inflammation often seen in moderate and severe acne-prone skin.
Working with Lichochalcone is a compound from the fragrant wildflower, Meadowsweet (Spirea Ulmaria).
Dermatologist-tested, this molecule has been found to strengthen an element of the skin’s natural defense system: cathelicidins. These innate natural antibiotics preserve skin’s ecosystem, helping to maintain the balance of healthy flora on skin’s surface and in pores. A reduction in oil production and other imperfections is also seen.
In a four week consumer test, 4 out of 5 people who used Clear Skin Ultra Gel reported clearing of imperfections, decreased redness, increased hydration and an improvement in skin clarity and tone within several days to two weeks.
This remarkable serum is a self-preserving formula that relies on Glycolic and Lactic Acids combined with
two humectants to provide stability and protect from microbial contamination for a year or longer.
Does not contain preservatives, fragrance, colorants, oil or parabens.
