7 The Comodex solution is based on three core processes, each featuring highly effective active ingredients that together prevent, treat and repair oily and combination skin, acne and acne damage. The advanced treatment balances and purifies oily skin while minimizing open pores for a smoother, clearer, healthier complexion. Disinfecting Antibacterial ingredients eradicate infection Sebum Regulating Sebum regulators minimize formation & secretion of sebum & development of acne 1. Disinfecting Antibacterial ingredients decrease the amount of contamination in infected comedones while simultaneously balancing oily skin. Key antibacterial ingredients include Kojic Acid, Bisabolol, Camphor, Capryloyglycine, Sarcosine, Triclosan, Lactic Acid, tomato extract, lemon extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) extract and clove leaf oil. Drying & Exfoliating Keratolytics dry & exfoliate outer skin layer to reduce existing & new scarring while reforming healthy normal epidermal layers 2. Regulating sebum secretion A unique combination of highly active ingredients including Kaolin and cinnamon extract minimizes the formation of sebum which clogs pores and leads to acne development. Simultaneously, antioxidants in the green tea extracts, ascorbic acid, and grape seed oil decrease sebum oxidation and the subsequent release of fatty acids which feed bacteria. 3. Drying and exfoliating Keratolytic ingredients including Salicylic Acid and Sulfur dry and exfoliate the outer layer of skin to open clogged pores, release excess sebum and remove bacteria. They simultaneously smooth the upper dermal layer, decreasing the potential for infection. Astringents including Lavender oil, SD Alcohol 40 and Witch Hazel extract remove excess oil and close pores. In addition, Comodex: Cleans... Powerful cleansing agents including Saponaria Officinalis leaf extract and Quillaja extract remove excess sebum from the skin. Corrects... Alpha-hydroxyl acids including Glycolic acid, Lactic acid and Malic acid exfoliate skin and dissolve sebum, aiding in the healing of sebaceous glands. Heals... Gentle antibacterial agents including Triclosan, Salicylic acid, Sulfur and tomato extract begin the healing process by boosting skin s immunity. Lightens... Decreases melanin formation on old comedone sites and lightens skin with Kojic acid, Vitamin A and Bearberry extract, rich in arbutin to suppress melanin-producing Tyrosine in the basal cell layer. Calms... Calming and anti-reddening agents including Allantoin, Bisabolol, Camphor, lavender oil and cucumber extract soothe skin and decrease erythema (skin redness).

11 Effective salon and home treatment program for optimal results The Comodex 8-step in-salon program to detoxify and disinfect the skin can be implemented as a stand-alone treatment session lasting approximately 45 minutes, or may be customized for more complex cases. It may also be incorporated into a longer facial treatment session addressing additional conditions. Sessions may run up to 75 minutes. We generally recommend a 6-12 session series for most skin conditions, depending on the severity, responsiveness to treatments and the extent to which clients supplement in-salon treatments with ongoing home product use. Frequency depends on the client's individual skin condition and progress towards healthier skin. Biweekly or monthly treatments are generally recommended. The 4-step home treatment kit works hand-in-hand with the in-salon treatment for enhanced and accelerated results. Complementary products may be recommended depending on individual skin needs.

24 Christina s Tips for Clear, Healthy Skin Hands off! Avoid touching your face with your hands because it can spread bacteria that clog and irritate pores. Before applying makeup or cleansers to your face, wash your hands with soap and water to reduce bacteria. Don t be a chicken. Protein has been proven to fight acne breakouts. Balance your diet with healthy doses of protein found in fish, poultry and eggs. Keep it clean. Regular facial cleansing is important. Pollution and oils cling to the skin and clog pores, producing toxins that leave the body through perspiration. If skin is not thoroughly cleaned, it will look and feel tired and the chances of irritation and breakouts are increased. Less is more. Makeup can clog pores and irritate skin. Try not to overdo it and make sure to use hypoallergenic products when you can. Clean your cosmetic tools regularly. Cosmetic brushes get dirty, carry bacteria and germs and may cause skin irritations and break outs. It is recommended that you clean or replace your tools twice a month.
