Product feature: C3 PM, gentle, consistent exfoliation, but beware!

April 29, 2021

C3 PM is the last step of the cleansing ritual. It’s a micro acid peel treatment that is gentle enough to use every day. Much like other worthwhile endeavours in life (exercise, healthy habits, learning new skills), I much prefer progressing in small steps every day, rather than undergoing an intensive treatment every once in a while.

While consistent, gentle exfoliation gives skin a healthy glow and radiance, over-exfoliation leads to skin damage characterized by swelling, redness and shininess followed by rough, dry patches. Micro exfoliating treatments make cumulative improvements to the skin over time and greatly reduces risk of injury and inflammation which subsequently leads to increased pigmentation and subsequent oxidative stress which damages collagen and elastin in the skin.

C3 PM toner, like ANY exfoliating and acid treatment, increases sensitivity to sun damage, which is why it is IMPERATIVE to use adequate sun protection.

C3 PM contains:

  • probiotics from organic kombucha and apple cider vinegar,

  • enzymatic exfoliation from bromelain in pineapple extract, (Do NOT use if you have pineapple or kiwi allergy).

  • alpha- and beta- hydroxy acids: lactic, citric, malic, acetic acids, salicylic acid.

The formulation for S2021’s C3 PM is more potent than previous iterations due to increased concentration of kombucha and pineapple extract. Use diluted with water at first, and increase potency as tolerated.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, be diligent with your use of sunscreen. Here is a video tutorial on proper ways to apply. Sunscreen is the most effective “anti-aging” treatment that you can buy and apply. PLEASE watch this video, especially if you’re considering using C3 PM.
