R3 FACTOR SKIN DEFENCE CREME
Whether we like to admit it or not, society places a high 
value on appearance.  So, help your skin to RETAIN its
natural moisture, RESTORE its resilience and RENEW its 
appearance with Forever Skin Defence Creme - a rich
combination of stabilised Aloe Vera Gel, soluble collagen
and Alpha Hydroxy Acids, fortified with vitamins A & E,
each vital to healthy skin.

Alpha Hydroxy Acids come from natural plant sources,
and are sometimes referred to as Fruit Acids.  It's easy 
to see why: Glycolic Acid, a very small and highly
penetrative molecule, is extracted from sugar cane,
Citric Acid derives from citrus fruits, Tartaric Acid is
from grapes and Malic Acid comes from these apples.
Together, these fruit acids are exfoliants that loosen 
dead cells from the skin's surface by dissolving the 
natural glue-like substances that refuse to release the
dead cells when they should.  Dry and flaky as they are,
these cells are unreliable in preventing moisture loss,
yet they create a barrier to moisturising creams.  Getting 
rid of these dead cells evenly means that fresher cells are
exposed in the skin renewal process.  Since it takes 21-28 
days for the skin renewal process to complete a cycle,
a similar amount of time should be allowed to realise the
full benefits of R3 Factor.

Fruit acid creams have been welcomed enthusiastically
by some cosmetic manufacturers and beauticians as the
most important skin care agents of the decade.  Some 
claim they are beneficial for skin problems ranging from
acne to hyper-pigmentation and sun-scarring.  However,
with some creams on the market, there is a risk of 
irritation.  By marrying the AHAs with the soothing 
properties of Stabilised Aloe Vera Gel, Skin Defence has
avoided this problem.
