For Physicians Only
An AHA peel so gentle, all you’ll notice is the result.
Our peel is not buffered or neutralized.
REFINITY™ Skin Solutions offers
the only 70% (pH 0.6) glycolic acid peel with little-to-no irritation.
Doctors have always known the benefits of Alpha Hydroxy Acids
(AHAs); however, they've faced problems maintaining a high acid-
low pH balance without causing irritation. REFINITY™ Skin
Solutions with Cosmederm-7™ is our alternative to the harsh,
irritating effects caused by most peels. Our patented Cosmederm-7™
is the only patented technology clinically proven as an anti-irritant.
It works with AHAs to provide comfort while delivering medical
strength results. The REFINITY™ Skin Solutions peel can be
left on for much longer periods of time than its competitors without
irritation. This allows the glycolic acids to penetrate deeper
and longer for maximum cell renewal. With REFINITY™ Skin Solutions,
you may achieve the skin enhancing benefits of a high performance
peel starting at your first treatment – even if you have sensitive
skin. This advanced technology increases the production of collagen
and elastin fibers, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and
wrinkles, thus improving skin tone, texture, color and elasticity.
You should be able to resume your normal activities immediately
after the treatment. This peel can be successfully used on the
face, neck, hands and chest.
Our simple regimen for the
skin.
REFINITY™ Skin Solutions products let you experience
the benefits of medical strength Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) without
the irritation commonly associated with anti-aging homecare products.
Purifying Cleanser:
A mild, soap-free cleanser designed to cleanse the skin thoroughly
but gently from impurities such as make-up, dirt and oil. Using
glycerin to draw and hold moisture, this cleanser will leave your
face looking and feeling hydrated and smooth. The surfactant
base of lactic acid exfoliates skin cells in preparation for skin
renewal. Our patented anti-irritant, Cosmederm-7™, makes this
cleanser safe enough for even the most sensitive skin.
Protective Toner:
This unique formula with Cosmederm-7™ not only helps to tighten
pores, but also provides all day protection from the irritating
chemicals in the environment. Our research on Cosmederm-7™
demonstrates its powerful effect of reducing irritation by almost
80% from any and all high strength acid products. You will find
our toner to be a soothing and effective pre-conditioner for various
active ingredient products.
Our three exfoliating REFINITY™ Skin Solutions moisturizers
are all formulated with the highest level of AHA (15%),
recommended for physicians only, as well as the anti-irritant
Cosmederm-7™. These high-level lactic acid products penetrate
at the cellular level to stimulate skin’s turnover— which
increases collagen and elastin fibers— resulting in refined
color tone and texture for the ultimate in younger looking skin.
Additionally, Cosmederm-7™ provides you with the following to
achieve a more comfortable way to get the results you desire:
-
Rejuvenating
Lotion (for normal skin): This light,
yet emollient, lotion gently exfoliates and moisturizes normal
skin.
-
Rejuvenating
Hydrogel (for oily skin): This oil-free moisturizer
is ideal for the oily T-zone and blemish-prone skin.
-
Rejuvenating Cream (for dry
skin): This non-greasy moisturizing cream provides
intense moisture and exfoliation. When used on dry skin,
our formula helps to trap natural moisture in the skin to
provide a dewy, even complexion for day or night use.

Q: What is the REFINITY™
Skin Solutions system?
A: REFINITY™ Skin Solutions is a high performance Alpha Hydroxy
Acid (AHA) cosmetic skin care system formulated with a patented
anti-irritant, COSMEDERM-7™, and available only through physicians.
It includes both in-office peel and homecare regimens. Treatment
may begin with the peel to accelerate exfoliation, and continue
with REFINITY™ Skin Solutions homecare products and subsequent
peels for optimal results.
Q: What is the REFINITY™
Skin Solutions peel?
A: The REFINITY™ Skin Solutions in-office peel is a 70% (pH
0.6) glycolic acid peel that works to diminish the appearance
of fine lines and wrinkles. It also improves skin texture and
tone with little-or-no irritation unlike that normally associated
with cosmetic chemical peels.
Q: What distinguishes the REFINITY™
Skin Solutions peel from other peels?
A: REFINITY™ Skin Solutions is the only AHA peel formulated
with COSMEDERM-7™, a clinically proven anti-irritant that minimizes
discomfort while delivering medical strength results. With REFINITY™
Skin Solutions products, consumers may begin to achieve the skin-enhancing
benefits of a high-performance peel with their first
treatment.
Other peels often begin with a mild solution
and slowly increase the AHA concentration until the desired strength
can be tolerated. REFINITY™ Skin Solutions offers a faster,
more comfortable way to get a 70% peel.
Q: What is COSMEDERM-7™?
A: COSMEDERM-7™ is the trade name for strontium salt compounds
that have been shown to minimize or eliminate sensory irritation
(stinging, burning and itching).
Q: What is strontium nitrate?
A: Strontium nitrate is a naturally occurring salt that has been
shown to have anti-irritant properties. COSMEDERM-7™ is the
trade name for the compound strontium nitrate and was developed
by Cosmederm Technologies.
Q: What does COSMEDERM-7™
do?
A: This clinically proven anti-irritant minimizes the discomfort
(itching, burning and stinging) that usually accompanies high-acid
level facial peels. However, COSMEDERM-7™ is not a topical
anesthetic and does not work by “numbing” a patient’s skin
during treatment.
Clinical studies show that COSMEDERM-7™ in
the REFINITY™ Skin Solutions 70% glycolic acid peel reduces
sensory irritation (stinging, burning and itching) by an average
of 77%.
Q: How does COSMEDERM-7™ improve
the efficacy of products?
A: COSMEDERM-7™ allows products to be formulated with the highest
concentrations of active ingredients that would otherwise be too
irritating for consumer use. Alpha Hydroxy Acids, for example,
produce the most substantial "anti-aging" effects when
they have both a high concentration and low pH (high acidity)
— a combination that can be highly irritating. COSMEDERM-7™
allows AHA products to have such optimal conditions, thus producing
the highest level of efficacy and extraordinary comfort.
Q: How quickly does COSMEDERM-7™
work?
A: The anti-irritant effects of COSMEDERM-7™ begin immediately
upon application.
Q: How long does it take to perform
the REFINITY™ Skin Solutions peel?
A: The REFINITY™ Skin Solutions in-office peel procedure, consisting
of four simple steps, generally takes no more than 30 minutes.
Following treatment, most patients immediately resume their normal
activities.
Q: What can patients expect following
their REFINITY™ Skin Solutions peel treatment?
A: Following treatment, most patients immediately resume their
normal activities. Most patients report that their skin feels
softer and smoother. Most post-peel redness is slight and can
be covered with makeup. Some patients may experience slight
skin flaking in the few days following the peel treatment, but
it is not necessary to see flaking skin for the peel to be effective.
Q: Who is a candidate for REFINITY™
Skin Solutions?
A: REFINITY™ Skin Solutions can be applied to the face, neck,
hands and chest, and provides a treatment option for a wide range
of consumers who:
-
are just beginning AHA treatments
-
are currently using lower strength AHA
products and have reached the “efficacy plateau” and wish
to “step up” to a higher free acid level
-
would like the benefits of higher-strength
products with little or no irritation
-
have normal to sensitive skin
-
want smoother and clearer skin
-
have photo-damaged skin
As with any cosmetic procedure, it is important
to consult your physician on the risks and benefits of the procedure
prior to receiving treatment.
Q: How do patients maintain optimal
results following the REFINITY™ Skin Solutions
peel?
A: The REFINITY™ Skin Solutions in-office peel is part of an
effective AHA system that includes REFINITY™ Skin Solutions
homecare products. Treatment may begin with the in-office peel
to accelerate exfoliation or skin renewal, and then continues
with REFINITY™ Skin Solutions homecare products and subsequent
peels for optimal results.
Q: What can the REFINITY™ Skin Solutions
system do for appearance?
A: REFINITY™ Skin Solutions diminishes the appearance of fine
lines and wrinkles, while visibly improving skin color, tone and
texture. Treatment may begin with the peel to accelerate exfoliation
and then continue with homecare products and subsequent peels
for optimal results.
Q: How much does REFINITY™ Skin Solutions
cost?
A: Cost for both the REFINITY™ Skin Solutions peel and homecare
products will vary depending on the physician and region of the
country.
Q: What is the advantage of using lactic
acid in the REFINITY™ Skin Solutions homecare products?
A: Lactic acid is the preferred AHA for REFINITY™ Skin Solutions
homecare products because it has been utilized as an effective
medical skin moisturizer for decades. Lactic acid was the first
AHA cleared by the FDA for use in an over-the-counter (OTC) drug
product. Clinical studies have shown that lactic acid is equal
to glycolic acid in its ability to penetrate the outer layer of
the epidermis to stimulate skin renewal.
Q: What pH levels are found in REFINITY™
Skin Solutions?
A: The REFINITY™ Skin Solutions homecare products are formulated
with an effective concentration of lactic acid (15%), low pH (3.2)
and COSMEDERM-7™, which collectively help to continue the effects
of the peel over time. This formulation enables REFINITY™
Skin Solutions products to offer a stronger free acid level than
most other AHA homecare products.
Q: Can sunscreen be used with REFINITY™
Skin Solutions products?
A: Yes. Daily sunscreen protection is recommended by the American
Academy of Dermatology. Patients should consult their physician
for brand recommendations that will best complement REFINITY™
Skin Solutions products.
