Condition: Chemically Peeled Skin
Treatments using chemical peels such as alpha hydroxy acids are quite popular. The danger lies not in the chemical applied but in the exposure to the environment. Make sure you take a Total Oxidation Management approach and careful precautions in the days and weeks following the peel.
The Wellness Solution
It is imperative that following the procedure Total Oxidation Management should come into play. The vulnerability of the skin after such a procedure is dangerous. Sun exposure, cigarettes, pollution, and chemical oxidizers are all dangerous to that recently peeled skin and will lead to free radical damage that will become more visible in months or years. Putting your recently treated skin “In the Mode” is crucial, yet very simple with just two steps.
The first step uses the original nature-identical, fresh-dried, preservative-free 15% L-ascorbic acid form of vitamin C. Because this vitamin C is freshly activated you receive 100% of its benefits and are assured of the proper form and concentration of the vitamin.
When followed by the second step; an application of wellness moisturizer formulated with 5% pure vitamin E this process will make a significant difference in the appearance and the discomfort of the condition as well as help prevent scar tissue from forming.
Reports of healing following this application of Esthetician Cosmeceuticals to the treated area have been very positive and the results have been dramatic. This application might tingle or sting, but with continued use, it will lessen as the affected area heals.
Remain "In the Mode" protected at all times with Esthetician Cosmeceuticals following a peel. If a doctor has recommended an ointment to prevent infection, use the Vitamin C under the ointment and the Wellness Moisturizer on top of the ointment. Once the ointment is no longer used, continue to use the Vitamin C Serum and Wellness Moisturizer at all times, even when you feel the skin is fully healed. Additionally, a sunscreen indicating an SPF 15 such as Wrinkle-Less Plus Sunscreen should be used on top of the vitamins anytime the skin is exposed to the sun.

At the age of 37, years of chemical peels had left Elaine, from Phoenix, Ariz., with hypersensitive skin. After using most products, she would have breakouts followed by scarring. “I have religiously followed a good skin care regimen, at times sparing no expense,” says Elaine. As a result of excessive exposure to the outdoors while she was growing up, the damage to her skin as she got older became more apparent.
“I have worked in the beauty industry most of my life and have had many corrective options available to me,” says Elaine. To cover up the damage, “I began using makeup with more and more coverage. Eventually, I felt I had no choice but to seek out more aggressive alternatives.
She was told a polyglycolic peel would work, “which I did numerous times, with unsatisfactory results. At the time, Microdermabrasion seemed to be the most likely next step since I felt I had to take aggressive steps to improve my skin. While my skin texture began to show some signs of improvement, these series of skin resurfacing procedures seemed to make my face more sensitive and did not help normalize my occasional blemishes and scarring.”
Then Elaine met Tom Porter. “I listened to his approach to normalizing the skin using Vitamin C and Vitamin E. It made me realize how simple the answer was. By normalizing my skin with the right form, percentages and delivery system of Vitamin C and Vitamin E, I could prevent breakouts that inevitably led to scarring and protect my skin from the environment.”
Elaine began using the EC Mode® Vitamin C Serum and EC Mode® Hydro-Driver Moisturizer and within thirty days or so, “I could visibly see an improvement in my skin. Seeing these changes in my skin in such a short period of time, I am confident that continuing to use the EC Mode® Vitamin C Serum and EC Mode® Hydro-Driver Moisturizer morning and night will correct abnormalities of my skin and begin reversing cellular damage. This philosophy and approach not only makes sense but it is the answer and the results I have been looking for.”

Carol is a nail technician in Pacific Palisades, Calif. who heard about Total Oxidation Management and fresh-dried vitamins from one of her clients. Carol has beautiful skin and is just approaching 30 years old. However, Carol developed a large hyper-pigmentation spot under her right eye that looked like a birthmark, which everyone was telling her was an age spot.
“This spot appeared when I had an AHA peel a few years ago. I was told this power peel of my skin would make my skin look even younger. First, the procedure made my skin very red and tender. But when it healed, it looked good. Then months later, I started to notice a small dark spot under my right eye. I went to my skin care specialist and was told I needed another peel. So, I had another glycolic peel.”
Carol goes on to explain that after the second peel, the spot initially went away, only to reappear bigger. So, she was advised to have another peel. “I had another peel believing that the peel was removing my dark spot, not realizing that the peel was actually the cause of the dark spot. Months later the spot was as big as the size of a dime.
“I finally went to a dermatologist. I had never spent much time in the sun as a child, but I was being told the spot was caused by sun exposure from when I was young.” The doctor prescribed “hydroquinone” to lighten or bleach the spot. And it worked. The spot was much lighter and Carol was satisfied until she was advised that hydroquinone is not a lifestyle product and it was only for a treatment of the spot. As soon as she discontinued the hydroquinone, the spot reappeared as dark as it had been before.
Make-up was Carol’s only answer until a client suggested she try EC Mode® Vitamin C Serum. Carol’s client suggested that it might take up to six months to see the spot fade, but that once it faded, she could remain on the product the rest of her life without concern.
Carol purchased the EC Mode® Vitamin C Serum and the 5% Vitamin E EC Mode® Hydro-Driver Moisturizer and began using the products. “I saw results the first day, and by the end of the first week, the dark spot was barely visible. I had clients commenting on my skin and I couldn’t believe that in one week, the dark spot was not visible to my clients.”
Now, Carol says “I’m ‘In the Mode’ everyday. It is clear that oxidation just in the air contributed to the appearance of the dark spot which was a result of the glycolic AHA peel.” Carol advises her friends and her clients of what happened to her and does not recommend a “skin peel” to anyone.
Carol is “In the Mode” after every time she cleanses her face, which is morning and night. Her complexion is that of an 18 year old and she looks radiant. She continues to follow the trends and new technologies for skin. However, Carol knows when something works, and Total Oxidation Management on her face works…all day and all night long. Carol says she will never have another chemical peel in her life.
