1. Barrier Support: A semi-occlusive silicone blend provides optimal skin barrier protection during recovery from in-office treatments. Limiting the healing time and inflammatory skin responses to the injury created.
2. Anti-inflammatory: Indian Gooseberry has hydrocortisone-like benefits to calm excessive skin inflammation.
3. Soothe irritation: Bisabolol and ginger extract suppress skin itch and discomfort during the re-growth of the stratum corneum.
4. Pigment inhibition: Curcumin and a Resorcinol derivative provide equivalent activity to 4% hydroquinone treatment without the risks of permanent skin de-pigmentation. Limiting the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
5. Soothe stinging skin: a synthetic Avenanthramide provides anti-inflammatory, anti-itch and anti-sting benefits. Providing comfort in the healing phase.
6. Increased skin turnover: Lamelle retinoic acid ester is used to increase cell turnover without the potential for sun sensitivity, dryness and irritation generally associated with retinol or prescription retinoid use.

• Cleanse, using your fingertips, treated skin and pat it dry with a clean towel.
• Apply your Skin Essence product
• Apply Correctives or supporting serums as suggested for the treatment protocol – no additional pigment inhibition is required though
• Apply an adequate amount of Pigment Repair Balm to cover and protect the treatment area.
• The product can be slathered on, especially at night.
• Massage the balm lightly to spread it over the skin and even out the application
• Combine with a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day.

If the Pigment Repair Balm causes any sensitivity, move to Restorative Balm for a few days.
