BENEFITS OF THE DR ALVIN REJUVENATING SET
If you’re struggling to treat pimples, remove stubborn dark spots, or clear away residual pimple marks, then you might have found your solution. This product kit has the following benefits: Brightens and whitens the face. Removes hyperpigmentation. Reduces signs of aging. Keeps the face looking fresh. Protects the face from harmful UV rays. Clears acne marks. Removes pimples.
KOJIC ACID SOAP- Sodium Hydroxide. A cleansing and denaturing agent, this ingredient is essentially what removes all the dirt and dust that gets trapped in your skin. However, it can get irritating when used too often or in high concentrations. Kojic Acid Dipalmitate. This is a derivative of kojic acid that is said to be more effective in whitening the face. Glycerin. A moisturizing component, this ingredient offsets the other drying ingredients found in this product. Fragrance. A controversial ingredient, fragrance keeps the smell pleasant and masks any untoward scents from the other ingredients found in the product. However, it is also a potential irritant that may cause allergic reactions.
REJUVENATING TONER- Ethyl Alcohol. Alcohol is often used as an anti-microbial. But it’s also a penetration enhancer, which is why you’ll find it in many products that have active ingredients, such as this one. But this formula is also incredibly outdated as many toners now do away with alcohol due to its side effects. Alpha Arbutin. This is an ingredient that can brighten the skin significantly over time. But there’s a catch: alpha arbutin is a natural derivative of hydroquinone, which is known to be too harsh when used unsupervised. Over time, alpha arbutin releases hydroquinone. The good thing is, since the skin is exposed to only a small amount of the chemical, it’s not as toxic as in a pure concentration. However, it’s still unsure whether this ingredient is safe for lactating mothers.
REJUVENATING CREAM- Cetyl Alcohol. This ingredient helps soothe dry skin. Glycolic Acid. Glycolic acid is a common exfoliant typically found in anti-aging products. It’s an AHA that helps slough off dead skin cells and reduce skin problems like wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven dark spots. Lactic Acid. Yet another mild exfoliant, lactic acid is great at gently unclogging the pores and removing deep-seated dirt. In return, you get softer, smoother skin that looks like it has smaller pores. Retinol. An anti-aging superstar, retinol is a popular ingredient for a reason: it’s super effective. It promotes collagen growth while also getting rid of nasty dead skin cells. However, since it’s quite strong, dermatologists recommend starting out slow and not using it everyday if it’s your first time. Triethanolamine. This ingredient controls the pH balance of your skin. It also works great with acidic ingredients.
HOW DO YOU USE DR ALVIN REJUVENATING SET?
Before you start daily use of this product, please always remember to do a patch test! Simply apply a small amount of product to the inner arm or behind your ear. Wait 24 hours to see if there is any burning, significant peeling, or redness. Any of these symptoms should be a cause for concern.
That said, if you aren’t experiencing a peel or a sting after testing the product, you can go ahead and start using. Should any of these symptoms occur at any point, immediately discontinue use. If symptoms persist, consult a health professional.
Note: this product is not recommended for lactating women and girls under 18 years of age.
Here’s your routine with this kit:
Kojic Soap — Wash your face and neck then apply the soap until it lathers. This will remove all the deep-seated dirt in your pores. Wash off thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Rejuvenating Toner — The toner is meant to remove pimples and effectively clear away any bacteria that threatens to form into acne. Use it after cleansing. Apply toner using a cotton pad and gently swipe it all over the face and neck. Do not use it for more than 30 days. Afterwards, move on to the maintenance set offered by the same brand.
Sunblock — As with most active ingredients, your skin will become more sensitive. It’s important to reduce exposure to the sun as well as religiously apply sunblock. Take a generous amount and apply it evenly all over the skin 30 minutes before exposure, as per the product’s instructions. Reapply every 2-3 hours if you’re under constant exposure to the sun.
Rejuvenating Night Cream — Do this as the last step of your night routine, right after your toner. Massage the cream evenly all over the face.
