Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is the difference between the Sun Damage Repair for Décolletage and Hands and the Skin Strengthening Complex?
Sun Damage Repair for Décolletage and Hands was specifically formulated for use on areas of the body where you typically found sun damage. Examples include the chest, backs of the hands, shoulders and arms. As a body product, it contains different ingredients than the repair creams for the face. In addition, it contains 2.5% Pro-Niacin™, a lower dosage of the active ingredient to accommodate more compromised areas with a thinner barrier. When you have a compromised skin barrier, penetration of Pro-Niacin™ is enhanced, which can result vasodilation and flushing effects.
Will the 2.5% Pro-Niacin™ in the Sun Damage Repair for Décolletage and Hands produce similar results to the 5% Pro-Niacin™ in the Skin Strengthening Complex and Intensive Recovery Complex?
Yes. The benefits of the Pro-Niacin™ molecule remain the same. However, at a lower percentage, the visible effects of the molecule on sun damage and hyperpigmentation will occur at a slightly slower rate. If faster results are desired, once your skin has become acclimated to the 2.5%, you may substitute the Skin Strengthening Complex, Intensive Recovery Complex or Sun Damage Prevention 100% Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 to these areas.
How long will it take for my sun spots and freckles to fade on my arms and chest?
Improvements in texture, tone and firmness of the skin may appear in as little as 7-14 days. Depending upon the severity, visible improvements in sun damage and hyperpigmentation can take anywhere up to 6 months to appear. Because the Pro-Niacin™ molecule is working from the inside-out, it takes 2-3 cell turnover cycles (each lasting approximately 28 days) to create the visible improvements in the skin that everyone is looking for.
Why is the chest more prone to flushing and redness than the face?
The skin on the décolletage is thinner and more sensitive to the penetration of Niacin and thus, flushing and redness occur more often on this area. As a result, the Sun Damage Repair for Décolletage and Hands product was formulated with 2.5% Pro-Niacin™ rather than the full 5% to decrease the risk of flushing while still providing the benefits of the molecule.
