    The 4-Step System: Treat

    The second step in your 4-Step System regimen, TREAT, allows you to target specific skin concerns and conditions with potent, and active ingredients. Products under Treat include but are not limited to toners, corrective serums, masques, spot treatments & eye cream.

    Active Toners

    AHA & BHA toners dissolve the glue that holds dead skin together and allow serums to penetrate. Active Ingredients within an acid toner are salicylic, mandelic, glycolic, lactic acid, etc.

    Pro Tip: Use a cotton pad and saturate it with the solution. Apply on forehead, cheeks, chin & nose .**avoid eye area**

    Nurse Grace’s Recommendations: Luminous Toning Mist, Glycolic Pads, Salicylic Toner, Active Peel Pads

    Hydrating Toners

    Hydrating Toners hydrate the skin and increase the absorption of serums. Ingredients in hydrating toners are Cucumber, CBD, Aloe, Allantoin, Hylauronic acid, etc.

    Pro Tip: Mist the face and neck with toner (2-4 sprays) and apply serums immediately.

    Nurse Grace’s Recommendations: Quench Luminous Mist, Cucumber Toner, Calming Toner

    Corrective Serums

    Serums treat skin-specific concerns such as acne, hyperpigmentation, dehydration, texture, etc.

    Pro Tip: Apply to palm, use fingers or palm and gently press serum into face. Apply from thinnest to thickest. Do not apply active serums around the eyes & neck.

    **Do not let dropper touch face**.

    Grace’s Recommendations: Luminous Trio Serum, Luminous Advanced Serum, GF Serum + Accelerator, MD Brightener, Poly Vitamin Serum, Pro-Health Serum, Super Serum.

    Eye Serums & Creams

    The purpose of an eye serum or cream is to hydrate, plump, moisturize and revitalize the delicate skin around the eyes. Key ingredients in Eye treatments are Caffeine, CBD, Hylauronic acid, Peptides, etc.

    Pro Tip: control product application by pouring the product to be used into the palm of the hand, and gently tapping into the skin surrounding the eyes. Be gentle with your application and ensure the product does not go into the eyes.

    Grace’s Recommendations: Luminous Peptide Eye Gel, C-Eye Serum

    Pigmentation spot treatments contain brightening ingredients such as kojic acid, alpha arbutin, etc.
