Topical C & Benzoyl Peroxide...

Topical Vitamin C (10% L-Ascorbic Acid) is available through 916 Acne, Skin & Wellness Clinic. Topical C can be ordered over the phone and shipped out the same day - free of charge.

While benzoyl peroxide is often a necessity for clearing acne topically, it also has its draw backs. Benzoyl peroxide causes free radical damage, the very same thing we try to prevent in the aging process. Topical L-Ascorbic Acid, not only stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin for firm and resilient skin, but it also neutralizes free radicals caused from such things as benzoyl peroxide and sun exposure. Topical L-Ascorbic Acid also works synergistically with sunscreen to reduce the formation of sunburned cells.

Topical L-Ascorbic Acid is a must have for keeping skin tight and right! I apply 10% L-ascorbic acid every day and every night - rain or shine. When researching topical L-Ascorbic Acid, look for the following: a product that is in the form of a serum, lists L-ascorbic acid as one of the first ingredients, is water based, contains no alcohol or witch hazel, and has hydrating ingredients such as sodium PCA, glycerin, or sodium hyaluronate.

Clarisonic vs. Revlon Facial Brush...

916 Acne, Skin & Wellness Clinic carries Clarisonic Classic, Clarisonic Plus, Clarisonic Pro, as well as the Clarisonic Mia. Purchases can be made at the clinic, by phone, or by visiting our on-line store. Clarisonic ships FREE of charge!

In short, Clarisonic oscillates at 300 times per second using sonic frequency to gently loosen grit and grime from the day.  With the Revlon Facial Brush, the entire brush head rotates pulling and tugging at your skin. It may feel fine when you're using using it, but anything that pulls at your skin, day after day, will eventually breakdown the elastic fibers that keep you looking young. Do your skin a favor and invest in a Clarisonic!
