I am starting to see fine lines just around my eyes, what should I do to take care of them and prevent more lines from forming?
A
The skin surrounding the eyes is much thinner and produces less oil than the rest of the face. For this reason, this area loses moisture faster and starts to line faster. Depending on which AMOREPACIFIC eye treatment is right for you, each is formulated to effectively prevent future lines and to restore the appearance of youthful, healthy skin around the eyes.
Q
How can I tell the difference between summer freckles and sun spots/age spots? What do I need to do to take care of the problem?
A
Summer freckles, sun spots and age spots develop due to excess sun exposure, hormonal imbalances and chronological aging. Specialized AMOREPACIFIC treatments address all of these concerns by balancing melanin production and / or releasing trapped melanin, revealing clearer, brighter-looking skin. Spots that appear suddenly or are unusual in color and shape should be looked at by a medical professional.
Q
At what age should one start using a skin care regimen? My daughter is 14 is she too young?
A
Creating early skincare habits by creating a simple daily regimen may help to prevent future skin concerns, such as common breakout, blackheads and large pores. An excellent time to start a simple skincare regimen would be at the beginning of puberty for both boys and girls.
Q
Why do I see dark circles around my eyes? The skin on the rest of my face is a lot brighter. What do you recommend to lighten the skin around my eyes?
A
The area surrounding the eyes is slightly cooler than the rest of the face. For this reason, circulation in the eye area is poor. AMOREPACIFIC's MOISTURE BOUND Rejuvenating Eye Creme delivers a hydrating bamboo sap formula to dramatically improve the circulation in the eye area, diminishing dark circles and puffiness for a rested look.
Q
I understand that your line is based on green tea. What is so special about this ingredient?
A
Green Tea is an excellent antioxidant. Antioxidants are one of the major causes of all skin concerns that eventually lead to the aging process. EGCG, an exclusive, globally patented ingredient, used throughout the entire TIME RESPONSE range, is the most powerful botanical antioxidant in the world (200 times more effective than vitamin C). In combination with 12 more exceptional Green Tea antioxidants that are patented and exclusive to AMOREPACIFIC , skin aging caused by antioxidants is almost irrelevant.
Q
I see enlarged pores on my face. What is this caused by and what can I do to minimize the look of my pores?
A
Enlarged pores are often caused by excess debris that is not regularly removed. Over time, with proper cleansing, exfoliation and specialized treatments, such as Bio-Enzyme Refining Complex and Clarifying Masque, pore-clogging debris is purged and pores return to their normal size.
Q
I am in my 20's and have oily skin and monthly breakouts. I also have patches of some very dry flaky skin. It seems like I need a ton of products to take care of my skin. If you can recommend a simple regimen what would it be?
A
Breakouts are not always the result, as commonly thought, from oily skin. The flaky skin sometimes associated is many times caused by harsh cleansers and astringents. AMOREPACIFIC treatments, suggested for breakout and flaky skin are formulated without harsh detergents, balancing the skin surface for smoother, clearer skin. A simple regimen might consist of Treatment Cleansing Foam, Treatment Toner, Treatment Enzyme Peel and Moisture Bound Hydra-gel.
Q
I see deep set wrinkles on my forehead and around the eyes. Can a skin care product really change the way they look or am I wasting my time and money and should just get a medical procedure?
A
The area surrounding the eyes and forehead are extremely thin, and require specific care. AMOREPACIFIC's TIME RESPONSE Eye Renewal Creme delivers powerful anti-aging results to the deepest layers of the skin, reducing lines, wrinkles and improving skin density to decrease sagging and increase firmness. The results reveal a brighter, more rejuvenated appearance.
Q
I don't exactly understand what a toner does. I thought it was a product that is no longer used in cosmetics. Can you please explain the benefits?
A
An essential part of any skincare regimen, Toners remove the harsh residue that remains from the common tap water, used to rinse away cleansers, than often causes skin sensitivity, dryness and breakout, balancing skin pH levels and preparing skin for moisture.
Q
Can you explain what is so special about the Time Response Ampoules? What makes them so efficacious? I want to make sure it's worth the investment.
A
Using the TIME RESPONSE Ampoule for one day is equal to using TIME RESPONSE treatments for 2 months, as the ingredients are 60 times more potent. Visible results start to appear after a few days and with followed use of TIME RESPONSE treatments continue to get better and better over time.
