Hooray For Vitamin A

Dead cells are complexion enemy number one because they clog pores and give skin an ashy appearance. By using a Vitamin A topical such as retinol on a regular basis one can speed up the rate at which the body sheds dead skin. (After about age 28 the process of cell turnover slows down dramatically)
Retinol benefits don't stop there. Vitamin A also stimulates collagen production (making skin look plumper and fine lines look smoother) and normalizes cells exposed to UV rays, effectively undoing sun damage.
There could be a downside to retinols if you don't have expert instruction on how to correctly use them. They can be irritating if overused or if you choose the wrong strength or formula for your specific skin type. It is not one size fits all and Skin Care Developer, Rhonda Allison, took this into consideration when she formulated her different Vitamin A topicals. She has created 4 serums to address different skins and conditions. Each of these formulas can be used alone or added to your moisturizer to make it a little more gentle until the skin becomes accustom to it.
Vitamin A serums should be administered by a Skin Care Professional and not bought over the counter. Allow your Aesthetician to evaluate your skin and then fit you with the proper serum and regimen specifically designed for you and you will not be disappointed.
Rhonda Allison's Arsenal Of "A's":
Organic A Complex: A unique blend of Organic Veggies and Herbs, Retinol and Lactic Acid. A gentle, yet potent approach to healthy skin. A good starting point for new comers.
Beta A Conditioner: Active are Retinal and Salicylic Acid. This is the perfect formula for sensitive and problematic skin such as Rosacea and Acne.
Retinol Supreme: A combination of Lactic Acid, Retinol and Algae Extract make up this super charged serum that works deep into the skin for maximum skin regeneration. A good bump up after using a bottle of Organic "A" Complex.
Therapy A Serum: Retinol, Retinol/Glycolic Acid Polymer Complex, D-Beta-Glucosamine and Aminoguanidine. A powerful grouping of ingredients to help regulate collagen synthesis and improve the skin's water barrier. It also stimulates new growth of tiny blood vessels...WOW!
