Gly Derm®
|
Gly Derm® is a skin care program that uses glycolic acid to improve skin tone, as well as to smooth fine wrinkles and diminish skin discoloration and blemishes. It has been known for years that glycolic acid - an alpha-hydroxy acid naturally occurring in sugar cane - can improve skin color and texture. Glycolic acid penetrates the skin and loosens thickened surface layers that appear as dry, rough, scaling skin. As the uppermost layers are sloughed away, skin with a smoother texture and healthier appearance is revealed.
Many people find plain glycolic acid, particularly at higher concentrations, to be very irritating when applied to the skin. Gly Derm® glycolic acid is esterified, a process that combines glycolic acid with fruit alcohols. This produces gentle esters that maintain their full strength but are much less irritating to skin.

AFA™ Gels
|
Amino Fruit Acids™ (AFAs™) are a new generation of skin care products that have three times the antioxidant qualities of older technology AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids). AFAs also help the skin retain three times the moisture and can be safely used with all skin types. Greater moisture retention in the skin helps even further reduce the appearance of fine lines. exCel Cosmeceuticals™ produces a line of AFA Gels which - when used on a daily basis - will give skin a healthier, more youthful appearance, and dramatically reduce visible photopigmentation (age spots) and the appearance of visible fine lines.

Kinerase™
|
Kinerase™ is an anti-wrinkle product that - unlike many other anti-wrinkle products - is non-acidic and won't burn or irritate your skin. Kinerase™ provides not only anti-wrinkle properties, but also moisturizing qualities. This enables the skin to retain moisture, leaving it with a softer, smoother feel.
Kinerase™ has shown no interactions with drugs or other products. And because there is virtually no irritation, you can use Kinerase™ in the morning before you apply makeup, sunscreens, or other cosmetics, or with appearance-enhancing products in the evening before bedtime. Also, Kinerase™ is an ideal product for helping reduce wrinkles and discoloration due to photoaging for men as well as women. It's fragrance-free, easy-to-apply, and has shown no interactions with aftershave lotions and colognes.

SOLBAR® Sunscreen
|
SOLBAR® is a family of high sun protection factor (SPF) sunscreen formulations created for dermatologists and their patients by Person & Covey, Inc., the company that pioneered development of products to protect skin from the harmful effects of UVB and UVA radiation. These sunscreens are:
SOLBAR® 50, a rich cream base with an SPF of 50
SOLBAR® 30, a liquid-gel base with an SPF of 30
SOLBAR® AVO, a lotion with Parsol 1789 and an SPF of 32
SOLBAR® Zinc, with an SPF of 38
Each product offers broad-spectrum protection with special appeal and benefits suited to an individual's type of skin and exposure. They were developed in response to dermatologists' requests for therapeutic and cosmetic-quality products to protect patients with light or sun-damaged skin, people who live in sun-intensive areas, people who spend extended time in the sun, and those with photosensitization caused by medical conditions or medication.

GLYQUIN®
|
GLYQUIN® is a Hydroquinone cream that is designed to slowly "bleach" hyperpigmented skin conditions, such as brown spots, freckles, or patches of darkened skin. Hyperpigmentation affects people of all skin colors and is most often seen on those areas of the body that are exposed to the sun. Besides sun exposure, other common causes of hyperpigmentation can be hormonal changes (as a result of pregnancy, oral contraceptives, or hormone replacement therapies) or trauma to the skin caused by acne, burns, or surgical procedures.
The ingredients found in GLYQUIN® work together to even out your skin tone, diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and moisturize and protect your skin against future damage. GLYQUIN can be used on the face, hands, chest, back... wherever there is hyperpigmented skin.
