In order to achieve the best results


  • In order to achieve the best results you should have one or two facial treatments - pore cleansing. (If you don't live near Stockholm or cannot get to acnespecialisten for some reason can get this treatment at any other authorized skin therapist).
  • Even if you are using our products you should have 3 - 4 pore cleanses a year.
  • If you suffer from severe acne and/or rosacea you should also treat with our ELOS IPL machine.

 

14-day intensive treatment

 

 

  • The most important part about our 14-day intensive treatment is that you remember to anoint your skin 5 - 10 times a day with our Moisture Complex Cream.
  • During winter (if you live in country with colder climates) you also should use Moisture Night Cream at night, if it is very cold use this cream during the day too.
  • If you spend a lot of time outdoors remember to use our sun factor called SunScreen SPF 15 or 30.


Own intensivetreatments with complexion gel

 

  • During some periods you can get more pimples than usual such as when you are under a lot of stress, menstruation, or when you are depressed. During these periods you can treat yourself using our Complexion Gel 5% or 10% for 3-4 in a row. (Don't forget to balance it using Moisture Complex Cream).
  • Anyone who sits a lot infront of the computer should keep in mind it has a dessicating effect, you should therefore anoint yourself regularly using our Moisture Complex Cream or one of our moisturetoners.
  • Anyone that exercises has a higher testosterone level and therefore a higher tallow production which in turn leads to more pimples. We recommend you anoint the affected areas with a thin layer of Complexion Gel 5% or 10% when you exercise (back, chest, face), but watch your eyes because Complexion Gel rinses down with sweat.
  • If you are using Complexion Gel 5% and have done exactly as the instructions tell you to and you still don't feel it working can step up to Complexion Gel 10%.

 
For anyone who has gotten rid of their problems

 

  • If you have gotten rid of your pimples but red marks/acne scars remain, we recommend you try our treatments that use the ELOS IPL-machine, it reduces and removes red marks/acne scars.
  • If you have gotten rid of your acne, seborrhoea, rosacea etc. and have grown beautiful skin must not end the use of our treatments as the acne will come back. Like we said earlier on; acne cannot be cured, only treated.

 

 
Product advice

 

  • It is crucial that you do not sleep with Complexion Gel 5% or 10% during the first 14 days since Complexion Gel activates during the night. The skin has not gotten used to it yet.
  • Complexion Cleanser, Complexion Gel 5% and 10% bleaches textiles.
  • Watch the eyes when you anoint your face using Complexion Gel and Complexion Cleanser.
 
 
The most common questions regarding the 14-day intensive treatment

 

Q: Why is my skin very dry and red?
A: You have most likely been using Moisture Complex Cream too seldom. (Should your skin feel too flushed, dry, tense or scurfy you can stop using Complexion Gel and Complexion Cleanser until your skin has stabilized, then later on pick up where you left off) this can happen if your skin is sensitive and not used to these products.
Q: Why is my skin fat and oily?
A: You have most likely used too little Moisture Complex Cream. The skin reacts by producing more fat when it is too dry. Don't be afraid to anoint your skin with more Moisture Complex Cream.

Q: Help! I'm getting acne in the end of my 14-days intensive treatment?

A: It is normal that a few extra pimples appear in the end of the intensive treatment. This is because you are using the products so intensely the first 14 days. They vanish when your skin is back in balance and you start using the products in a normal routine, in other words, every third, fourth night.
Q: How am I supposed to wear Complexion Gel 5% or 10% on my face during days when the cream is yellow?
A: You do not need to use much cream in order for it to work effectively, work the cream into the skin until it is not visible anymore, this way you can wear it during the days without it showing.
