GRASS is an acronym to help identify key ingredients that we should all be using DAILY for an effective, comprehensive skin care routine that will really have you glowing! We can help you choose the right products that contain these key ingredients to transform your skin while promoting optimal skin health.
G: Growth Factors
Growth factors rejuvenate aging skin! Growth factors are naturally-occurring proteins that remodel and repair the skin by stimulating new collagen. Growth factors are essential in any anti-aging skin care routine to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and improve skin texture and tone.

R: Retinols
Retinols repair the skin! Retinols repair and renew the skin by exfoliating the top layers promoting smoother skin texture. Retinols treat multiple skin concerns including fine lines, hyperpigmentation, acne scarring and even rosacea. Since retinols treat so many different skin concerns, they should absolutely be included in your skin care regimen.
