Bright Cleansing Bar -  this is the closest formula we have to the discontinued Skin Brightening Cocktail Bar Covalence made.  It's not only for issues of discolorations but for dry, lackluster complexions needing some "enlightenment"!  Imparts a softness and smoother texture without harmful or over stripping ingredients.  Enlivens the complexion with safe, plant based extracts that are good for the skin. Not for fragile or sensitive skin types or those with Rosacea.  Use in cases of acne discolorations, razor bumps, Chloasma and actinic keratosis.  For face and body.

Formulation: coconut oil, palm kernel oil, glycerin, soybean oil, witch hazel water, black tea leaf extract, tannic extract, azelaic acid, kojic acid, niacinamide, calcium ascorbate, glucosamine HCL.

Bright Cleansing Gel - a refreshing new cleanser that will not dry out or over strip the skin while it purifies the pores and diminishes color flaws in sun damaged skin. No Sodium Laurel or Lauryl Sulfate, no parabens added!

Formulation: sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, water, sodium lauroamphoacetate, sodium cocoyl hydrolyzed amaranth protein, sodium decylglucosides hydroxypropylsulfonate, phenethyl alcohol, caprylyl glycol, kojic acid, aminobutyric acid (GABA), amia fruit extract, calcium pantothenate, lysine HCI, cranberry fruit extract (vaccinium macrocarpon).

Make Up Cleansing Cloth -  high tech new fabric removes all traces of make up and mascara with just lukewarm water!  Especially great for sensitive skins and those with  Eczema, Rosacea or Melasma. Promotes the health of the skin by not disturbing the acid mantle.  Make Up Cloth is made from a new generation of specially knitted micro-fibers many times thinner than a human hair. When wet they create a hydro- mechanical process that breaks the surface tension of the oils that bond makeup to the skin. This emulsion is then easily wiped off the skin. It will even remove mascara! Gently exfoliates while it works.  Pack one of these in your carry on bag  for honeymoon travel!  No need to  apply cleanser to the face or cloth.  Although this fabric does not replace the therapeutic properties of a good face wash, it is a wonderful alternative for times when skin is inflamed or sensitive, nights when you're too tired to wash your face and when you've been out partying too late!

Lucent Refining Scrub - gentle exfoliating scrub for face and neck.  Does not replace a regular facial cleansing product for everyday use.  For a complete natural treatment of hyper-pigmentation, use Scrub 2-3 times a week before applying serums or creams to reduce unwanted melasma. The chemistry of the product is sufficient to fulfill its exfoliation tasks without strong massage so be gentle!  Wait a minute or so after drying the skin before applying any products after scrubbing or masking the face.  Melasma does not respond well to aggressive manipulation of the skin, as many women have found out in using harsh products or rubbing too excessively.  

Do not use the scrub and mask the same day.

Contains distilled water, witch hazel extract, vegetable glycerine, caprylic/capric triglyceride, cetyl alcohol, kojic acid dipalmitate, L-ascorbic acid, GABA (gamma amino butyric acid), titanium dioxide, dimethicone, glycol distearate, jojoba beads, polyethylene beads, xanthan gum, vitamin E, allantoin, benzyl alcohol, essential oils. The pH is 7.4.

 Bright Mask - a weekly treatment to enhance the skin renewal program for those treating issues like melasma, menopausal skin problems, sun damage and monthly facial for lack-luster dry skin.  Environment friendly formula with no parabens, no artificial fragrance or color added.  We don't use the word bleaching when it comes to restoring the natural color of the skin (too many people actually have used household cleaning products thinking it's the same thing!).  Instead, the terms "brighten, brightening" were coined by the industry in effort to avoid confusion and injury!  For deeply lined, aging skin types, this can be used more than once a week but test it out first and just see how your own face responds to frequent use.  Can be used on face, neck, hands and decolletages for up to 30 minutes before bathing or showering to remove.  For more sensitive, thinning complexions, leave on 15 minutes and remove with warm, damp towel - gently wiping and rinsing til all traces of mask are off and then follow quickly with your other Bright products before the moisture evaporates.

Bright Serum - This serum is loaded with natural brighteners and offers an alternative to Hydroquinone, a controversial ingredient the FDA was supposed to ban 3 years ago!

Bright Serum is part of a daily program to restore the epidermis to its natural pigmentation color, improve the texture, fight free radicals that damage cells and promote discolorations, add a luminous tone to the skin and impart overall wellness to the complexion!  It is important that you wear complete sun protection daily otherwise just use this at night.

C-MAJOR SERUM: A comprehensive anti-aging serum!   C-Major is a take off of the original C-20 serum, but in addition to the 20% L-ascorbic, it also features 15% Matrixyl™3000 peptides and a unique apple extract-derived MMPI (matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor). You will enjoy “C-Major” results with this superior anti-aging complex! The key to C-Major is its effect on collagen – it helps protect and induce healthy collagen formation at a cellular level (courtesy of the L-ascorbic and MMP inhibitor) and on the surface (firming peptides). Thus, the result is younger looking, firmer, clearer  AND healthier skin. 

WHAT ARE MMP INHIBITORS?

MMP stands for “matrix metalloproteinase”. MMPs are enzymes naturally present in skin – their job is to break down proteins. But, if in excess, they begin over-attacking proteins, including the skin’s extra cellular matrix (which is a collection of tissue molecules including collagen, fibronectins, proteoglycans and elastin). When damaged, the extra cellular matrix becomes weakened and irregular, resulting in the common signs of aging (reduced elasticity, wrinkling, and capillary dilation). MMP inhibitors bind to and disarm MMPs, preventing their damage to healthy proteins. Thus, the structural integrity of the extra cellular matrix is preserved and the youthful state of the skin maintained. The body makes its own MMP inhibitors, called TIMPs (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase), but research is showing that the combination of topical MMP inhibitors with the body’s own TIMPs acts as a superior anti-aging team. There is also additional research going on currently to investigate the potential connection between excessive MMP destruction and skin cancers.

Our Skin Lightening Program may also benefit by the use of the following, depending on your symptoms, triggers and general health issues.  You should email the estheticians for further advice - epidermexperts@yahoo.com

D-20 Spritz -  spray on this instantly moisturizing, hydrating, humectant liquid for a boost of "Heavy Water".  Botanical and Chiromatherapy properties that reduce cellular stress, protect against bacteria, viruses and radiation. 

D2O (Heavy Water - Deuterium Oxide) really is heavier than the water we are used to drinking and bathing with!  Its hydrogen molecule is twice the weight of the molecule in ordinary water, which makes D2O 10% heavier than H2O.  This is why it stays on the skin longer, helping to hydrate and plump the cells of the epidermis.  Our make up artists see that it is beneficial in achieving longer lasting color.  We use it in the facial rooms for superior results.   Research has found that Heavy Water has a higher resistance to vaporization, which helps it stay on the skin for longer periods of time.  It has more viscosity.  This thickness gives it a higher "plumping" effect than regular waters.  It bonds with the skin and other connective tissues more strongly than ordinary water, so the skin does not dry out as quickly or as deeply.  It requires 10 times as much energy to be ionized than regular water, which makes it more protective against ultraviolet radiation.   It inactivates certain acne bacteria, making it an ideal moisturizing agent for blemish-prone skin.

Use to activate products, to balance skin's pH levels to reduce irritation, itching and redness, refresh make up color, as a wetting solution for make up sponges, or carry with you to hydrate the skin in smog, smoke,  bad weather or flying.  For face, scalp and body.

Contains AHA's, distilled water, witch hazel extract, Deuterium Oxide (heavy water) D-20, L-sodium Hyaluronate, L-sodium PCA, vegetable glycerin, D-beta-fructan, D-beta-glucosamine, Citrus Oil, Grapefruit Peel Oil, Raspberry Seed Oil  ( Essential Oils), benzyl alcohol.

Combining the effects of a peel with gentle microdermabrasion, this treatment uses Bamboo Beads to loosen the bonds holding debris and cells to the skin's surface, sweeping it away to reveal youthful-looking skin.  Brightens skin tone and supports healthy collagen production while infusing powerful antioxidant protection.  

This formulation does contain minimal amount of parabens to stabilize it and protect from bacteria and fungi.

To use
After cleansing and toning, gently smooth onto face and neck. Leave on for up to 10 minutes (no longer).  Gently rinse with warm water. For best results, use three times per week, every month. Formula is intense and if you have sensitive skin, you may only be able to leave product on for a minute or two  to start. With continued use, product can be left on for longer increments but 10 max.
