blemish
Some of us develop breakouts or pimples from time to time and this can be related to an incorrect skin regime and to hormonal or dietary changes. How often do you get breakouts?
do you suffer from blemishes?*
- never
- sometimes
- often
- all the time
Breakouts, acne or pimples can be minimised and treated by adding a combination of Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (sk.in flash) and salicylic acid (sk.in pure) to your skin regime. Combine sk.in pure as your spot treatment on blemishes and visible pores & sk.in flash as your topical skin serum to target and to help prevent blemishes from appearing.

how often does your skin feel dry?
The winter months can cause havoc with our skins, leaving us with a dry and tight feeling skin.
does your skin feel dry or dehydrated?*
- never
- sometimes/Seasonal
- often
The best way to combat dry or dehydrated skin is to use a daytime and night-time antioxidant with skin barrier repair ingredients. By combining sk.in gloss & sk.in marvel in the mornings and sk.in flash & sk.in marvel in the evenings, your antioxidant and repair shot will provide effective correction. Antioxidants prevent free radical damage and help to protect the skin barrier. Hyaluronic acid and ceramides in sk.in marvel repair and rejuvenate the vital outer skin barrier and will improve its health and function.

do you suffer from any of the following?
The thinnest skin we have is found around the eye and eyelid areas, making it vital to treat ageing changes early.
beauty is in the eye of the beholder:*
- fine lines & wrinkles
- deep wrinkles
- dark circles
The best way to treat fine lines and wrinkles or deep lines topically is to use a combination of high strength lipid soluble Vitamin C (Ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate) and Granactive retinol (Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate - HPR). Both ingredients have demonstrated in clinical studies their efficacy and effectiveness in stimulating collagen and elastin and smoothing fine lines and deep wrinkles. By combining sk.in gloss in the mornings and sk.in flash in the evenings your antiageing and repair shot will provide visible improvement of lines and wrinkles with continued use. Care needs to be taken when treating the delicate eye and eyelid skin. Please follow this regime carefully when applying sk.in gloss in the mornings and sk.in flash in the evenings: use one small pump for both eyes weekly for 2 weeks, then twice weekly for two weeks, then three times weekly for 2 weeks, and so on until daily and nightly applications are tolerated by the eyelid skin.
Dark circles are caused by three main reasons: tear trough that results in a shadow effect, increased vascularity (veins) and hyperpigmentation. Excess pigment deposition can be lightened by using sk.in’s lipid soluble Vitamin C (Ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate) and Granactive retinol (Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate - HPR). Ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate works as a skin lightening agent by inhibiting tyrosine activity that will prevent further pigment deposition while HPR will lighten existing pigmentation. Please follow this regime carefully when applying sk.in gloss in the mornings and sk.in flash in the evenings: use one small pump for both eyes weekly for 2 weeks, then twice weekly for two weeks, then three times weekly for 2 weeks, and so on until daily and nightly applications are tolerated by the eyelid skin.

your lifestyle
The environment plays a key role in our ageing process: damage through free radicals, UV exposure, the diet we follow, and a regular exercise regime will all contribute to how our skin will age.
tell us a little more about your lifestyle:*
- I feel stressed often or have a stressful work environment
- I live in the city
- I am a smoker
- I eat fatty or carbohydrate rich foods
- none of the above
Studies have increasingly demonstrated the negative ageing effects that stress and free radical damage from environmental factors (such as pollution and smoking) have on our skin. The best way to combat this is to eat a healthy diet high in vitamins and minerals, to work out regularly, and to use a topical regime that contains a daily and nightly antioxidant. sk.in gloss combines the power of Vitamin C and Vitamin E with Ferulic acid ester to combat free radical damage and reduce inflammatory reactions in the skin. sk.in flash uses a combination of HPR, Vitamin C and E, and skin barrier repair ingredients to enhance the protective and repairing effect while you sleep.

do any of the following apply to you?
are you pregnant/breastfeeding or planning on becoming pregnant in the next 6 months?*
- yes
- no
Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate and Salicylic Acid – HPR and Salicylic acid are contraindicated if you are pregnant, breast feeding or planning to fall pregnant. Please do not order or use sk.in flash, sk.in avenge, sk.in bounce and sk.in pure as high concentrations of HPR and Salicylic acid are found in these products.
are you taking oral vitamin A medication (roaccutane or oratane) for acne/oily skin?*
- yes
- no
Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate – HPR is contraindicated if you are using oral vitamin A medications such as Roaccutane or Oratane. Please do not order or use sk.in flash sk.in avenge or sk.in bounce as high concentrations of HPR are found in these products and they can increase skin side effects such as sensitivity reactions, dryness, flaking of skin and increased sun sensitivity.
do you currently suffer from active eczema on the face and/or neck?*

yes

no
Active ingredients can aggravate or flare up eczema, so caution must be taken when ordering and using sk.in products. Dr Alek’s advice is to either try samples or if a full-size product has been ordered, to only apply on a small area so that you perform a patch test over several days before applying to the whole face, neck and chest areas.
how much time do you spend in the sun?*

never

sometimes

often
Sun exposure and UV damage is the main cause of skin ageing. It is vital to use a good SPF 30 or higher that contains zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide daily. When using the active ingredients found in sk.in products it is extremely important to use a SPF 30 or higher daily.
