QUESTION: Does Panoxyl 5 acne gel work? I have mild acne and need to know if this is a valid product or do I have other options?

Tara Daniele
I have never heard of Panoxyl 5 but that's not to say it doesn't exist or doesn't work...I just personally haven't heard of it.

Its mild foaming 12% alpha and beta hydroxy acid cleanser and it helps to clean the pores, reduce pore size, control excess sebum, prevent acne breakouts, and provide overall healthier looking skin. The tonic is highly effective at keeping pores clean and removing excess oil and debris. It helps fight acne causing bacteria, and minimizes the appearance of pores. It leaves your skin feeling fresh and clean, without that "stripped" feeling and it has an anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti fungal benefits.You can find them at www.SkinRxClinic.com.

QUESTION: What kind of pimples are these? I've been getting dry skin and the break outs are big pimples. Some are tiny white heads and deep black heads, when I pick them, the stuff comes out green! Is this normal?

Tara Daniele
Ok so here's the deal...sounds like you have some serious bacteria growing under the surface layer of skin and this is clogging your pores. I use the word bacteria because you say its green in color and that is usually what causes that! The little white bumps are called Millia and they are hard and not extractable (wont pop) The blackheads are clogged pores that have been oxidized. I strongly recommend trying the Microdermabrasion Peel from www.SkinRxClinic.com. Just go to the website type "micro" in the search box and check it out. It contains glycolic acid and has perfectly symmetrical micro crystal to help remove some of the dead built up surface skin! Once the dead skin is gone the product can penetrate deeper and help clear up the bacteria causing the breakouts! NO picking, you don't want scars! There is actually a tool called an extractor that is specifically designed for those stuborn pimples. www.SkinRxClinic.com offers two options: Double Loop Extractor & Wire Extractor.

QUESTION: What are peptides and what are the benefits of peptides in Skin Care products?

Tara Daniele
Lets start with "What are Peptides" - Peptides are short chains of amino acids. Amino acids are the basic building blocks of proteins and many other different types of organic molecules. Peptides function as messengers in the skin, allowing the epidermis and dermis to communicate more efficiently. - Peptides works by stimulating the deeper layers of the skin and increase overall collagen production, one of the strongest Bio-Peptide chains is palmitoyl pentapeptide-3. To answer your next question "What are the benefits of Peptides in Skin Care Products" - Skin Care products containing Peptides are reported to reduce the signs of aging by increasing collagen production, and as a result making the skin thicker and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Many skin care products contain several different peptides, such as Bio-peptides or  Poly-peptides. SkinRxClinic's Botanical Bio-Peptide Concentrate is the perfect product to intrgrade peptides into your everyday regime. Bio-Peptide Concentrate contains Palmitoyl pentapeptide-3. This breakthrough peptide ingredient stimulates collagen production in the skin and helps to counteract this natural part of the aging process. And as one of the most powerful peptide molecules found in the latest generation of high-end Anti-Wrinkle Skin Care products also helps the skin to heal wounds faster so it is great to use after a Peel, laser or Microdermabrasion treatment.

QUESTION: I just ordered a 30% Glycolic Peel from SkinRxClinic. What should I expect and how long before I will notice improvements?

Tara Daniele

First I want to say thank you for your business! Now to answer your question...Everyone skin is different and because of that results may vary from person to person. You can expect the texture of the skin to start improving within the first few weeks. Skin tone should start evening out after about a month. Collagen and elastin improvement will begin after your first two to three months. Small scar reduction takes around six months to a year.

Every human body improves at a different rate so have patience with yourself and the results will come! The good thing about glycolic acid is you will always keep improving over a period of time.

QUESTION: How exactlly does a Chemical Acid Peel work?

Tara Daniele
Your skin is made up of protein, water and other minor chemicals. Proteins are very complex chains of amino acids and they are very sensitive to the level of pH surrounding them. When the skin's proteins react with an acid in a low pH coagulation occurs. This is a non-reversible reaction where the proteins are basically destroyed (frosting is what you see when this process is happening). This is the actual goal of chemical peeling the skin. The acid destroys the existing tissues so that they can be replaced with new structures. Go to www.SkinRxClinic.com to learn more and check out all the different Acids offered.

QUESTION: How often should you replace your sunscreen?

Tara Daniele
Don't save your sunblock from one summer to the next. Buy the size that will be adequate for the time you need it and then discard. Sunblock that is over a year old has started to deteriorate so the benefits will be diminished. When purchasing sunscreen make sure you check the active ingredients...if  Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide are not listed you wont get the maximum benefits. Try Skin Rx Clinics Advanced Protection SPF 30 Sunblock with Zinc Oxide. This physical sunblock provides full-spectrum protection and has vitamins & anti-oxidants. There are two kinds of sun protection: Physical & Chemical. Physical sunblock does not have the ability to be absorbed into the skin and as a result sits on the surface and reflects the damaging rays away from the skin. Physical sunscreens will always have Zinc and/or Titanium Dioxide. Chemical sunblock has the ability to be absorbed into the skin and as a result must be reapplyed to keep its effectivness. Hope this helps!
