Beauty solutions for everyone

The signs below identify dry skin:

• flaking of the skin is common
• skin feels tight (especially after washing), looks dull, and is rough
• the skin may have red patches
• in more severe cases, this skin problem will cause cracks in and bleeding of the skin
• fine lines and wrinkles are evident
• skin has fine pores
• few acne blemishes are present
• the skin is often itchy

Moisture-deficient skin often poses a care problem. Its requirements are clear: Lots of moisture! But without additional oils or lipids. Moisture-deficient skin is not only thirsty, it also requires support to hold the moisture within the skin. Aquatense Moisture Gel offers all the benefits of a cream but is much lighter in texture and provides an immediate soothing, refreshing effect. The active ingredients also increase the skin's capacity to absorb and retain moisture.

Collastin Lotion contains active agents such as phytocollagen, lecithin and yeast extract that help the skin retain moisture and nourishment.

Moisture deficiency is frequently accompanied by a sensation of tension on the skin and the application or cream or lotion is unable to quench the skin's "thirst". Increased moisture loss occurs in heated or climate-controlled rooms and on airplanes where the air contains just around 10% moisture. Hydro Chitosan ampoules form a protective film on the skin to keep it constantly moisturized with the content of just one ampoule, making them an ideal companion on flights.

Rosactive's Moisturizing Cream is rich in natural active agents for dehydrated skin and has a sun filter. The formulation is suitable for day or night use and for both mature and young skin to prevent premature ageing.

An individual with oily skin may have the following skin features:

• shiny or slippery skin appearance, especially on the forehead, nose, and chin (the T-zone)
• skin is coarse and thicker than normal skin
• pores are large and visible
• pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and other acne blemishes are present or frequently appear
• after washing, skin gets an oily build-up after only a couple of hours
• oily film on face is present after sleeping
• for women, make-up foundation only lasts a couple of hours
• flakiness around the nose area may exist due to dried excess oils
• oily skin is slow to develop discolorations such as freckles, fine lines, and wrinkles as the skin ages

Excessive sebum gland activity not only leads to an undesired sheen on the skin, but also to disturbed skin flora. In the skin profile, which has become imbalanced, the growth of certain pathogens leads to inflamed skin. The result can be seen in the form of unattractive papules and pustules, accompanied by extended pores. Follicular hyperkeratosis simultaneously promotes the occurrence of blackheads. This is precisely where A-Controle takes effect. Regular application leads to the normalization of sebum gland activity and therefore the visible and perceptible improvement of the affected skin profile. 

Normalizing Face Balm is a non-oily cream developed for skin that is highly oily or prone to acne. Its unique ingredients help reduce the sebum flow and control over-active glands, normalizing sebum production while soothing irritation and clarifying the skin.

Rosactive's Pure Med line is specifically formulated to thoroughly cleanse oily and impure skin, removing sebaceous matter without irritation. The active agents combat tissue infections, oxygenating and protecting the cells of affected tissues.

Bio-complex Cleansing Lotion completely removes impurities and excess oils accumulated in the sebaceous glands duct, namely blackheads. It allows skin to breathe and provides a safe and effective way to purify it.

Purify Lotion is a concentrated lotion specifically designed for the care of oily skin with dilated pores.

Combination skin is a mixture of both oily and dry skin. There is a greasy center panel consisting of nose, forehead and chin and a dry panel consisting of cheeks, mouth and the areas around the eyes.

You know you have combination skin when:

• In some areas of your face it can feel tight after washing; it can be flaky, look dull or feel rough
• In other areas, typically the T-zone, your skin looks shiny, feels greasy and is prone to pimples and blackheads
  

Perfect Balancing Cream is a unique cream created specifically to re-hydrate and balance the dry areas of combination skin, drawing moisture to the skin and protecting against dehydration.

Balancing Face Lotion is a mild facial lotion specifically formulated for combination skin characterized by facial skin that is too oily around the T-zone and regular to dry on the cheeks and corners of the eyes. This soft lotion works well for the more oily part of the skin because it re-hydrates the skin while balancing the sebum secretion.

Balancing Skin Complex is a high dosage concentrate of active agents artfully blended to regulate the sebum production and normalize combination skin. This particularly intensive and fast-acting skin care product penetrates the skin easily for excellent results and a pleasant overall effect.

As we grow older, our skin experiences certain changes: it becomes drier and more wrinkled, spots may appear. After an injury our skin tends to heal more slowly. Many of these skin problems can be prevented.

As skin ages, collagen and elastin, the fibers that keep the skin firm, weaken. The skin looks loose and lax, becomes thinner, and loses fat, so that it looks less plump and smooth. While all these changes are taking place, gravity is also at work, pulling at the skin and causing it to sag. Exposure to the sun and smoking play an important part and so do genes: the tendency to wrinkle is hereditary. As we age, our skin also becomes drier; this can result in flaky and itchy skin, especially in cold, dry, windy climates.

The good news is: there are numerous treatments for aging skin!

The Three Tool Skin Recovery Set is a unique skin regeneration system for ladies of 40+ from Janssen Cosmeceutical for a smoother and tighter skin, a powerful and highly effective home care line with a lifting effect. The set contains Skin refining enzyme peel, De-age and re-lift lotion and De-age and re-lift concentrate. It is intended for intensive treatment over a 28 day period.

Lines caused by facial expressions such as squinting, frowning or smiling can be treated using dermal fillers such as collagen. The Biomixyl line is is an advanced collagen treatment based on nano proteins.

Over time, frown lines, laughter lines and crow's feet lines appear due to the repeated movements of facial muscles. As the skin looses its elasticity, the wrinkles get deeper. A new natural pentapeptide, that we’ll call “Natural-boto”, has been developed as an efficent alternative to anti-wrinkle injections. This new agent is a topical cosmetic alternative to muscle relaxing injections as well as an innovative way of treating all types of expression wrinkles. Rosactive's B-Like line is based around this revolutionary new agent, derived from from natural Quillaja and Kigelia extracts.

Janssen's Opus Belle product line is specifically formulated for women over 40, using a unique anti-ageing concept that takes into account both internal and external factors that lead to the ageing process.

Dr Sacher's Signature Line features a luxurious combination of active substances consisting of pearl water, caviar and magnolia (known as PCM complex). This formulation fills the skin with energy, stimulating metabolism and leaving the surface of the skin looking smooth and vital again.

Sensitive skin

Sensitive skin is very troublesome for many individuals. People with this skin type experience the following:

• sensitivity to cosmetics (especially those that are heavily scented)
• rashes or red blotchy patches may develop on the skin with exposure to applied pressure, wind, sun, or temperature changes
• certain skin care products may trigger rashes
• broken blood vessels and capillaries are evident under the surface
• this problem skin type usually has a fine texture and fine pores

Immunizing skin complex is a unique skin care concentrate created specifically for skin ranging from sensitive to hypersensitive, designed as a first aid tool.

Calming Sensitive Cream works by building up a barrier that makes the skin stronger and less vulnerable, heals and brings relaxation and comfort to the skin. Also helps to heal rosacea skin condition. 

Occasionally, immediate skin soothing is required due to excessive exposure to the sun, skin irritation caused by temporary stress or a general tendency towards sensitive skin Skin Excel De-Stress is the ideal ampoule concentrate for immediately soothing the skin.

Rosactive's Sensitive Cream is a soft night and day creamy emulsion for normalization of sensitive skin with a soothing and calming effect.

Couperose/rosacea

This is a condition where redness appears due to the presence of small, dilated red blood vessels visible on the face. Couperose occurs due to poor elasticity of the capillary walls. Normally, when there is a sudden rush of blood to the skin, capillaries expand to receive the increase of blood, then contract and return to normalcy. In a weakened state of elasticity, however, capillaries will expand, but do not contract and return to their normal state. This results in dilated capillaries with lingering blood cells, making them appear defined and red on the skin's surface. The symptoms are often caused by certain hereditary factors: skin that is structurally thin and sensitive, and weak capillary walls. Exposure to extreme cold, harsh winds or extreme heat can also contribute to this condition. All skin types can be prone to redness, the only factor they have in common is structural thinness.Often structural changes of aging skin can contribute to couperose skin.

Couperose Cream is an emulsion for the intensive treatment of sensitive skin in presence of couperose. Helps the collagen production and stimulates micro blood circulation, reducing redness.

Anti-Couperose Ampoules is a concentrate for treating rosacea skin, breaking down the venous congestion and exerting a soothing and calming effect on the skin.

Anti-Couperose Complex helps repair broken capillaries and decrease skin redness, reducing the inflammatory effect, unsightly spider veins and increase skin firmness and elasticity. It helps heal rosacea skin condition.

Scars can appear after injury of the skin. Scar tissue is a replacement of connective tissue to close the skin wound. Scar tissue is different in building blocks and texture than the surrounding skin: scar tissue has less elastic fibers (collagen) leading to shrinking and hardening of tissue. The scar can be pulled back inside when a wound does not heal the proper way. Often the development of connective tissue fibers is not enough and a deep lying scar appears, less circulated by blood while containing less tissue fluid.

Scar cream is a pleasant 24 hour aid with a cooling sensation and can be applied as often as necessary to re-texturize the damaged skin tissue.

Skin Resurfacing Balm should be applied after treatments such high percentage peels, light therapy, microdermabrasion and laser resurfacing. The balm provides a pleasant, cooling sensation to the irritated skin.

Stretch marks form when the skin is rapidly stretched and the middle part of the connective tissue, which makes up the structural support of the skin, is torn apart. Scarring occurs when the new collagen bundles begin to form in order to repair the damage. This can happen through sudden weight gain such as in the case of pregnancy or a sudden stretching of the skin when doing physical exercises. Heredity can play a role in some individuals.

Stretch marks are affected in the dermis by preventing the fibroblasts from forming collagen and elastic fibers, necessary to keep rapidly growing skin taut. This creates a lack of supportive material, as the skin is stretched and leads to dermal tearing. The epidermal cells are also affected, so the epidermis becomes thin and flattened, allowing for more visibility of the defects below.

If you were to look at a stretch mark under the microscope, you'd see that the dermis is thinner than normal. The collagen fibers have been pulled apart from each other, and the elastic fibers are broken and lie clumped along the edges of the stretch mark.

Flower Oil is recommended for dry skin prone to stretch marks. The totally natural active agents stimulate the lymphatic and blood micro-circulation, maintaining firmness and elasticity of the tissue and improving the regenerating processes of the skin.

Stretch Mark Cream will rebuild the collagen matrix by a more regular tissue renewal process (inhibition of collagenase). The skin will recover its elasticity.

For decades, there have been products on the market promising to lighten the skin. Some of them contain ingredients so harmful that have even been related to cancer formation (Hydroquinone, Arbutin, Kojic Acid)!

JANSSEN Cosmeceutical has developed a complete treatment for safe skin lightening with a complete set of active ingredients in a single 6 week treatment. 2-Phase Visible Fading Out represents an important advance in the rapidly expanding product category of skin-lightening agents. A study on 42 participants with dark and very dark complexion showed significant de-pigmentation after eight weeks of treatment.

Janssen has developed a Skin Lightening/Pigmentation Mini Kit consisting of six products for intensive skin lightening/pigmentation treatment. Using the products together is more effective and will produce faster results. Due to the nature of skin lightening and pigmentation treatments, the longer you stay on the treatment the better the results.

These lightening products are part of the White Secrets skin brightening line.
