| When beginning a new skin
care regime one often has questions. In this section you will find
some of the more frequent questions we get asked. If your question
is not listed, don’t hesitate to call our corporate office.
We are open Monday through Friday 7am to 5pm (CT).
What
is my skin type?
To keep it simple we have established 4 skin type classifications:
oily, sensitive, normal and dry.
Oily skin types often find that the skin is shiny within
hours of cleansing the face, regardless of the climate or environment.
Sensitive skin types often have reactions to different
skin treatments or products. Irritation is a common occurrence for
those with sensitive skin.
Normal skin types do not fall into any extreme categories.
Usually this skin type is partially dry or oily, better known as
combination skin; this can fluctuate with climate changes.
Dry skin types are often flaky and need to be moisturized
several times a day regardless of the climate or environment.
Will your products only work if
I have bad skin?
Absolutely not! Rx Systems PF is designed to promote
healthy skin for all skin types. Even the most porcelain of complexions
will benefit from our system. Daily use of our products will improve
the skin and give it a healthy glow and smooth texture.
How do I get started?
Most importantly, remember less is more. Our products are formulated
with quality ingredients and designed to give you the results you
desire one small application at a time. The Starter Kit is a great
way to begin. It comes complete with all the essential products
and an instruction card to simplify your skin care treatment.
How soon will I see results?
Subtle changes in how the skin feels and looks will be noticed immediately.
More prominent results will begin to appear within the first six
weeks of consistent use.
How do I know when my skin is ready
to step-up?
The rate at which skin will acclimate to glycolic acid is different
for every individual, ranging from 3 months to 3 years. If the tingling
sensation no longer occurs when applying our Facial Cream or Lotion
to the skin, it's usually a good indication that it's time to step-up
to the next level.
How does my routine change when
I step-up?
To avoid causing irritation on the skin it is best to alternate
levels with every application. For example, if you're currently
applying Facial Cream with Glycolic 5 to the skin and are ready
to move up to level 10, apply Facial Cream with Glycolic 5 on Monday,
Facial Cream with Glycolic 10 on Tuesday, Facial Cream with Glycolic
5 on Wednesday and so on for about 2 weeks. At the end of two weeks
you may stop alternating applications and use level 10 consistently.
I have aging skin. Should I still
use glycolic acid?
Definitely. Both glycolic acid and retinol will help to give aging
skin a more youthful appearance. Remember that retinol products
should only be applied at night, so when you are using both retinol
and glycolic acid you have two options. The first is to apply Facial
Cream or Lotion to the skin in the morning and Retinol Cream or
Lotion at night. Or you can apply Retinol Cream or Lotion to the
skin at night after the application of Facial Cream or Lotion.
I really like the retinol products
I’m using now. Do I have to change?
No. Our product line is pH balance to provide your skin with the
best results. However, the quality ingredients in all of our products
will work to prepare you skin to achieve the maximum benefits from
any additional products you use from other lines.
