GYLTONE Skin Care Products

Exclusive to Physicians

GLYTONE is a line of advanced cosmeceuticals designed to manage all skin types for all stages of aging. Whether you are looking for a basic, daily regimen or to revise your lines and wrinkles, GLYTONE has an answer for you. The products contain the highest pharmaceutical-grade ingredients to leave you with the best skin you've ever had.

The Glytone Step-Up System, a physician prescribed skin care system, rapidly accelerates cellular turnover. The system penetrates deep into the layers of the skin to remove damage, increase hydration, and improve skin function. Skin function improves at the cellular level, ensuring the best possible outcome.

The system triggers a therapeutic cascade of actions that pushes fresher cells to the surface faster, reduces mottled pigmentation, and helps prevent the appearance of new pigmentation. It also promotes more uniform cells at the deepest layer for better skin structure and balanced, more even skin tone. Helps increase collagen and elastin for firmer, more resilient looking skin.

What to expect during each phase of your journey to new skin

During your treatment, you can expect different phases of change in your skin.

Out with the Old

Initially, you will find that your skin feels cleaner. You may feel a mild stinging sensation that lasts for only a few days. This can be reduced by applying your creams directly to dry skin. There may be some mild flakiness in some cases, however, it is transient. The skin will feel immediately tighter. The first 5-7 days are the most important days to stay true to your regimen because the glycolic acid will actually draw out the impurities in the skin. You may experience a few light break outs, but you want this to happen. Once your skin purges the excess toxins and build-up, your skin will be able to function better and your complexion will radiate from this alone. The glycolic acid itself will diminish the breakouts, and you will be on your way to your new skin.

In with the New

Once the detox process is complete, your skin will still be transforming. By the second week you will notice a great difference in the tone and texture of your skin. This occurs because the glycolic acid "unglues" the intercellular cement of old skin cells, therefore removing them and leaving behind the layers of fresh skin. One of the symptoms of aging skin is a thickened stratum corneum (top layer). Glytone products reduce the thickness of the stratum corneum, allowing older skin to exhibit the thickness of younger skin. The dead cells cause the skin to appear dry, scaly, and hyperpigmented. Upon removal of them, the overall color and health of the skin will return. You will also see an increase in circulation and hydration. Good circulation is your skins own natural detox, so it is important in keeping a healthy, glowing complexion.

Healthy Glow

By now, your skin will be approaching optimum functionality. Your normal cellular turnover of about 28-30 days in now accelerated, circulation is good, and your actual cellular function has been improved. Since glycolic acid stimulates at the cellular level, your skin is mimicking the function of a 20 year old. Your pores will be smaller and more refined. Your collagen will be stimulated. Fine lines will diminish and deeper lines will soften. Excess build up will go away. The tone and color of your skin will be even. Your hydration levels will drastically increase.

Once you have experienced this beautiful transformation, your skin will eventually get accustomed to the percentage of acid that you were using. Once this plateau has been reached, your esthetician will "step you up" to the next highest percentage of available glycolic acid. With continued use of this product, you will have the skin that everyone else wants!

The use of GLYTONE for Dermatological Conditions

Hyperpigmentation and sun-damaged skin

Glytone has a clarifying kit that combines 3 of the powerhouse ingredients of the industry to remove sun-damage, sunspots, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven texture, skin laxity, and skin thickness.

Glytone Clarifying Kit: Contains Retinaldehyde C.T.: This patented ingredient is a vitamin A derivative that functions similarly to Tretinoin, however, it will not make you turn red, flake, or peel. That is why it is among the industry favorites. It is chemically different on one end of the molecule to allow it to penetrate the skin. Once it enters the cell cycle, it chemically becomes Retinoic Acid, which in turn stimulates cell turn over, and collagen and elastin production.

Also contains:

Hydroquinone: This is a great ingredient known for skin lightening and pigment regulation. This ingredient is key to reverse sun damage and hyperpigmentation. It is used widely among dermatologists and other physicians to treat many skin pathologies. Hydroquinone is naturally found in coffee, tea, red wine, wheat germ, pears, berries, and/or exposure to cigarette and wood smoke.

Glycolic Acid: This ingredient behaves as a catalyst for the penetration of the above actives, as well as delivers all of the above mentioned benefits into your skin.

Rosacea, Hyper-sensitive skin, and Redness

Eau Thermale Avene, a sister company to Glytone, has produced a line of products that directly deals with difficult skin conditions like sensitivity, redness, and of course, Rosacea.

If you suffer from any of the above disorders, you are well aware that even some products that claim to treat sensitive skin can leave your skin inflamed and irritated. Eau Thermale Avene has answered this call with products that go above and beyond to deliver what is promised.

Extremely Gentle Cleanser for Intolerant Skin: This is a no-rinse, tissue off formula designed to calm the skin while still being able to clean it. It contains 96% Avene spring water, which is clinically proven to help soothe and soften the skin. It is paraben, fragrance, and irritant free.

Redness Relief Soothing Cream with SPF 25: This is a daily moisturizer with sunscreen that contains three ingredients that work synergistically together to reduce the appearance of redness and blotchiness. It has a high concentration of Eau Thermale Avene Spring Water, Titanium Dioxide (dual function as a sunscreen and anti-inflammatory agent), and a slight green tint to help neautralize the redness in the skin tone.

Diroseal: Fight the visible signs of aging and redness in two ways: Retinaldehyde C.T. which helps reduce the appearance of redness and enhances skin radiance. H.M.C. and Dextran Sulfate work together to improve skin tone and minimize recurring redness.

Acne: Teenage AND Adult

Whether you are an adult or a teenager, acne is a plaguing disorder that can leave behind scars, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and take a toll on your self-confidence.

GLYTONE and Eau Thermale Avene have recognized a very significant difference in between adult and teenage acne. Teenage acne can be very sticky, comedonal in nature, and debilitating for a teenager to go through it. Adult acne is quite often inflammatory, hormonal, and cystic.

For Teenage Acne:

Glytone Acne Regimen: The gold standard for teenage acne, this system uses Glycolic Acid, Benzoyl Peroxide 10%, and Salicylic Acid 2% to remove oil from the skin, inhibit the proliferation of P.acnes bacteria, and prevent acne scars from forming.

For Adult Acne:

Eau Thermale Avene Acne Regimen: Named Diacneal, this system was made specifically for adult, hormonal type acne. The Diacneal soap-free cleanser effectively removes all excess sebum and impurities without drying the skin. This cleanser is also good for sensitive skin or skin that has been sensitized by other more aggressive acne treatments. The Diacneal skin treatment lotion uses both Glycolic Acid and a Vitamin A derivative, Retinaldehyde C.T. 0.1%, to treat skin blemishes and acne lesions. These ingredients exfoliate the skin leaving it retexturized without irritation. With regular use, you will see a more pure, smooth complexion, with less risk for inflammation and scarring.

The Overall Result: The New You

You will expect to see a thinner epidermis, a thicker, more hydrated dermis, decrease in surface abnormalities, and a healthy glow. Who could ask for anything better?

As you can see, the use of the products will restore the health and vibrance of your skin.

GLYTONE Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will I be red, flaky, or peeling with the use of Glytone products?

A: You may experience mild flakiness, and in some cases, mild redness. Glytone products were formulated to be used with no downtime, so most people are comfortable from initiation of product use throughout the duration. There have been some reports of mild stinging, but it is transient and only lasts a few days.

Q: How soon will I see results?

A: You will see some results immediately upon use. Your skin will feel cleaner, and the texture will be smoother. You will see optimum results after a few weeks of continued use and regular visits to your aesthetician.

Q: Do I need to use a sunscreen?

A: The answer to this question is always "Yes!". The use of daily sunscreen is recommended, especially with the use of these products. Glycolic Acid and Vitamin A derivatives increase the photosensitivity of the skin, requiring the use of a sunscreen. Remember that you are using these products to reverse the damage of the sun, so you want to protect your face. Also, prolonged exposure can make your damage worse, so you must use protection. Ask your esthetician for an appropriate sunscreen.
