Rather than claim the Holy Grail on barely-there volumes, O Cosmedics is formulated with potent, concentrated active ingredients. Each formulation is based on ‘functional actives’, where we use the active ingredient to the dose or percentage that the scientist recommends will actually make a difference to the skin.
The Moral If you’re just starting your O Cosmedics skin health journey, here’s three things that may happen: The Story
1. Your skin immediately loves it: and you become an instant O lover! Perfect outcome.
2. Your skin may purge: You may experience one of the following: warmth as the actives enter your skin, your skin may flush, tingle, breakout, feel dry or flaky. Don’t panic. Simply stop using everything and allow your skin to return to normal. Reintroduce the products one at a time giving your skin time to adapt to a new level of skin care. Purging means your cells are annoyed with you for making them “get back to work” and are resisting acclimatising. Be patient and they will soon understand who’s boss!
3. Your skin may look older: Ok, fair to say not the look we were going for yet a good sign just the same. This can happen if you are not used to using an active skin care, so when you do it pushes the underlying redundant cells to the skin’s surface and your skin can look dull, devitalised and yes, older. The good news is this is a sign your products are working, and the redundant cells are turning over! The best option is to visit an approved O Cosmedics professional clinic who will perform an enzyme peel to reveal fresh, radiant, youthful skin.
No matter what happens, remember that even options 2 and 3 will bring you back to 1, making you too a life-long member of the O Cosmedics family!
When it comes to your skin, knowledge is power. Understanding your unique skin type and current skin condition is the first step toward long-term skin health and the difference between treating symptoms and transforming your skin from within.
When it comes to truly healthy skin there are three vitamins that form the backbone of almost every effective skincare routine. In professional skincare circles they’re widely known as the ABCs of skincare: Vitamin A, Vitamin B and Vitamin C.
These vitamins aren’t trending ingredients or passing fads, they are fundamental to how the skin functions, repairs and protects itself on a daily basis. Each plays a distinct and powerful role within the skin working both independently and synergistically to maintain balance, resilience and long-term skin health.
Together they support everything from cellular renewal and barrier strength to collagen production, pigment regulation and protection from environmental stress. When these vitamins are present in the skin in the right forms and delivered correctly they help create the conditions for skin to behave optimally.
Understanding what each vitamin does allows you to see why they are considered the ultimate foundation of corrective skincare.
