Dear MONO-vator,

 

Our serum may cause a feeling of tightness and tingling during the first uses.

The tightness is a lifting effect. Moment 1: the treatment is placed on the skin, including at the bottom of wrinkles & fine lines, Moment 2: the treatment contracts, and raises the depths of wrinkles & fine lines.

 

There is no irritation in the strict sense, but there might be slight tingling or even a slight redness. This phenomenon indicates the presence of skin that is not intact, because it is too dry or has a pH that is too high [which can be due to irritation, eczema, fungal infections, etc.]. Non-intact skin loses its watertightness [which explains why it is often dry] and the MONO pH5.0 cosmetic penetrates too quickly, encountering the lower layer at pH7.4. Hence the tingling. In two to three days of use, the skin is repaired and the redness or tingling will disappear unless there is a significant pathology.

 

Make no mistake, the hydration is well underway, the formulas act deep within the dermis to repair from the inside and in one week the skin is plumped.

This is a treatment to be used for at least 28 days in a row for optimal results. Here is the recommended protocol:

 

• Clean your skin thoroughly with a mild soap (MONO Cleanser #1) before application. The product could “lint” if the skin is dirty or if too much is applied.
• Use only half a pump of serum and 2 pumps of moisturizing lotion per application, no need to use more: these cosmetics are 10-20 times more concentrated in active ingredients than conventional cosmetics! We therefore reduce 10 times for an equivalent or better result.
• Do not massage when applying the product. Simply spread and let it absorb naturally.
• During the first week, apply the serum in the evening and the moisturizing lotion in the morning. Then at your convenience up to twice a day.

 

Please follow these instructions carefully to maximize the benefits of our products.
