The Ultimate AHA Serum
M2 is a remarkable 20% alpha-hydroxy acid gel that is perfect for anyone who wants to improve the clarity , texture, and over all appearance of their skin. M2 helps combat common skin problems such as fine lines, wrinkles, freckles, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, acne blemishes, large pores, melasma, ingrown hairs, and rough scaley skin.
In the past, the benefits of higher AHA concentrations have been outweighed by the negatives. The risk of irrititation, redness, and hyperpigmentation made highly concentrated AHA formulations too risky for use on most skin types, particularly sensitive and darker skin. M2 lotion's unique combination of non-irritating AHA's and marine-derived anti-inflammatory ingredients ensure maximum results with minimal irritation and peeling, making it possible for everyone to enjoy the incredible difference a high concentration AHA product can make in their skin.
About Mandelic Acid and Malic Acid
Mandelic Acid and Malic Acid are alpha hydroxy acids that were chosen for their unique properties.
Mandelic Acid is naturally antibacterial, which is essential for preventing and healing breakouts. It absorbs and controls oil production, which reduces shine in combination-oily skin.
Malic Acid is a humectant, which provides the skin with essential, non greasy, hydration.
Malic Acid is an antioxidant that works to protect the skin from free-radicals and premature aging.
Malic Acid and Mandelic Acid have a slow, even penetration, resulting considerably less irritation than glycolic or lactic acids.
The combination of these properties makes M2 so much more effective than other alpha hydroxy acid products.
M2 HP Skin Refinish For Aging Skin
As you use M2, your sking will become noticeably smoother and brighter, and the appearance of uneven pigmentation and sun damage (rough skin, sun spots, enlarged pores) will dramatically improve-possibly eliminating the need for foundation or cover up. Over time, M2 also helps rebuild collagen levels, firming the skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
MaMa Lotion can also be easily incorporated into your current anti-aging routine in order to speed results. M2 removes dry, dead skin cells from the surface of your skin that intefere with the penetration of additional skin treatments. Incorporation of M2 HP Skin Refinish into your current routine will result in deeper delivery and increased effectiveness of your existing skin care regimen.
M2 HP Skin Refinish For Uneven Pigmentation, Acne Scarring, and Melasma
M2 is particularly effective at reducing pigmentation problems in the skin. Acne, sun exposure, melasma (pregnancy mask) and many other skin conditions can result in brown and red marks on your skin. The combination of two gentle AHAs and potent anti-inflammatory marine exracts maked M2 effective at reducing existing hyperpigmentation while preventing new hyperpigmenaation.
Directions For Use:
Test M2 HP Skin Refinish on a small area of your cheek to determine sensitivity and check for an allergic reaction. If there are no signs of irritation (redness and/or burning and itching) within 24 hours, M2 may be applied conservatively to the face, neck and chest every other day for the first two weeks. If excessice peeling or irritation occurs, discontinue use for one week then resume application - aplying only once or twice a week avoiding eyelids and lips.
Flaking is normal for the first few weeks. After application, it is normal to experience an active tingling sensation. This should dissipate within 30 seconds. Allow M2 to penetrate for 5-15 minutes before following with your favorite moisturizer or sunscreen. Anti-aging treatments may be applied the following morning or on alternate days. M2 can also be used on your arms, legs, back, feet, stomach, or anywhere smoother skin is desired.
Note:
M2 HP Skin Refinish should never be applied over or under a retinol, benoyl peroxide, or other AHA products. These products should be used on alternate days.
Special Instructions for Dark Skin Tones:
Darker skin tones are more prone to hyperpigmentation, it is important to take special note of these instructions. More is not always better!
1. When using M2 on dark skin it is very important to start slow and gradually increase the usage to obtain optimal results.
2. For most individualls who have never used the active ingredients on the skin it is recommended to use M2 HP Skin Refinish no more that twice a week for the first few weeks for up to one month.
3. Gradually increase usage to every other day as tolerated. Some individuals may be able to use M2 every day eventually, some may not.
4. Mild peeling is normal, but if the skin becomes irritated, red, or inflamed this may cause darkening of the skin (post inflammatory hyperpigmentation). If your pimples heal with brown color that lasts for weeks or months, you are at risk of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
5. More is not always better. If the skin does become irritated, a) Stop using the product for a few days. b) Use only a gentle moisturizer for a few days. Protect the skin from any direct sunlight with a strong sunscreen containing titanium and zinc. Use this moisturizer daily while treating hyperpigmented skin and for ongoing maintenance because hyperpigmentation can always come back. d) Within a few days the M2 may be started again.
6. Everyone will be able to find the right schedule to use without causing hyperpigmentation.
7. If the skin is ultra sensitive, we would recommend applying the moisturizer first to seal the skin and then apply the M2 over the top of the Moisturizer (reverse order).
8. Remember the key to success is to use enough M2 to lighten the skin or clear up the acne but not so much that the skin is irritated and at risk of hyperpigmentation.
9. A wide brimmed hat is also important to give maximum protection to the face from the sun.
10. Non facial areas of skin will do best if irritations and abrasions are avoided and the areas are kept well moisturized and protected from the sun.
Notice the significant fading of the melasma patches on the cheeks and forehead.
