     What Each Product Does

1. SkinMedica AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser

A cleanser that gently exfoliates dead skin cells and clears pores using a blend of alpha- and beta-hydroxy acids. It helps improve skin texture, tone, and radiance while cleansing.

Purpose: Removes surface buildup, helps smooth texture, and preps skin for treatments.

2. ZO Skin Health Oil Control Pads

Pads soaked with salicylic acid plus other acids that help control excess oil, unclog pores, reduce breakouts, and refine texture.

Purpose: A leave-on exfoliating step to help keep pores clear and skin smoother.

3. SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.25

A lower-strength retinol anti-aging treatment that gently speeds up cell turnover to improve fine lines, texture, tone, and clarity over time. Retinol can make skin more sensitive initially.

Purpose: Enhances renewal, smooths lines, refines tone & texture.

4. SkinMedica HA5 Hydra Collagen Water Burst Moisturizer

Lightweight hydrating moisturizer that uses multiple hyaluronic acids and vegan collagen to lock in moisture, support the skin barrier, and make skin feel dewy and hydrated.

Purpose: Hydrates and seals in treatment products to prevent dryness and irritation.

5. Colorescience Total Protection No‑Show Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50

A mineral sunscreen with zinc oxide that provides broad-spectrum protection against UVA/UVB, blue light, pollution, and more — with a sheer, invisible finish. Use daily in the morning.

Purpose: Protects skin from sun damage — critical when using acids and retinol.
