Skin care products are intended to achieve optimum skin health, extend the skin care treatment and enhance results. Effective, results-oriented skin care does not have to be overly complicated, time-consuming, or expensive. It is the philosophy at Plaza Skin Care, that skin care regimens should be focused, effective, and consist of three basic steps:

• Cleansing
• Treating
• Protecting

Scientific and medical literature supports claims that the skin benefits from the use of peptides, hydroxy acids, and Vitamins A and C. These essential ingredients form the basis for Plaza Skin Care's "Essentials" brand of private label skin care products, and are formulated with extracts and ingredients that have demonstrated true efficacy. No artificial dyes, fragrances, comedogenic ingredients, harsh alcohols or other known sensitizers are used.

Every effort will be made to ensure your satisfaction. Due to personal preferences, I recognize that scent, texture, ingredients and packaging play an important part in your acceptance of a product. Therefore, you will find various formulations of active ingredients - choose from gels, serums, lotions and creams. Some products are available by special order.

Many "Essentials" brand products are available in sample sizes. If you would like to try any, feel free to call me and we can discuss your skin care needs in order to choose the most appropriate products.

TREATMENT PRODUCTS

PEPTIDES
Some antiaging treatment technologies focus on compounds called peptides, small groups of long-chain amino acids that function as chemical messengers in the body, regulating cellular activity, and are important in collagen production. Collagen is the support structure that gives our skin its resiliency and firm texture. When levels remain plentiful, our skin looks young and fresh. When levels decline, we lose that support and skin becomes lax. For that reason, peptides are one of the four essential ingredients in the "Essentials" line of products at Plaza Skin Care.

Lemon Gel Cream
Is a highly-concentrated, anti-aging, moisture-binding, and skin-repairing gel cream-to-serum that makes the skin feel soft, light, hydrated, and velvety. It absorbs quickly and leaves a smooth, non-greasy finish. When used before applying makeup, this product helps achieve an even application. It contains Hyaluronic Acid micro-spheres to help re-plump and "fill in" wrinkles, resulting in a smoother skin appearance.

HYDROXY ACIDS
Hydroxy acid products contain natural acids derived from sugar cane, maple, milk, orange, lemon, and willowbark that have been clinically proven to gently exfoliate, enhance skin tone, and improve overall skin quality. Hydroxys also aid in normalizing both oily and dry skin! At Plaza Skin Care, various formulas and concentrations are available, so you are sure to find one that is just right for you.

VITAMIN A
 Over-the-counter Vitamin A (retinol) is an excellent ingredient if your skin is too sensitive for Rx Retin-A. The reason why skin responds to skin care products with retinol is that Vitamin A has a molecular structure that's tiny enough to get into the lower layers of skin. Retinol is proven to improve mottled pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, skin texture, skin tone and color, as well as skin hydration levels.

VITAMIN C
With age and sun exposure, collagen synthesis in the skin decreases, leading to wrinkles.
