What are the Products for the Sensitive Around-the-Eye Area?
This particular area of the skin, because of its tendency to become easily irritated, should be cared for very cautiously. It where the thinnest skin in the body lies and years of color cosmetics and makeup removers can produce extensive skin damage and sagging.
Any and all products introduced to this area of the skin should be applied in a small amount and tested to make sure your individual skin can handle the product being applied. Skin Biology has produced Super GHK-Copper Cream, CP Night Eyes Regular, and CP Night Eyes Premier with the aim of helping the skin's regenerative process around the eye area. These are anti-wrinkle creams that contain Copper-Peptides, retinol, and protective lipids such as Squalane and Octyl Palmitate. Emu Oil-S Lipid Replenisher and our Squalane Oil have both proved effective for many of our clients dealing with the under eye area.
Start use of the creams very slowly because often the area is already irritated. Do not apply products to already irritated skin. Wait until the irritation subsides (perhaps only using Emu Oil-S) and then slowly start with the Copper-Peptides. If any irritation is experienced, try diluting the Copper-Peptide formula with water. Or apply the products while the skin is already slightly wet after cleansing. Such skin can be abnormally sensitive and immediate heavy usage of creams or products may cause additional irritation. But as you continue to use the Copper-Peptides, the skin barrier will repair itself and slowly the amount may be increased if desired. Especially with this area “Less is More”. If you experience any long-term irritation or problems, discontinue use until your skin shows no signs of redness or irritation.

How to Improve the Appearance of Pores
For many of our clientele have commented that the products have helped in producing smoother skin and an overall reduction in the appearance of pores. CP Serum or Super CP Serum and LacSal Serum may be used to possibly produce this effect. But what may work for one person, may not necessarily work for all. Copper-Peptides may attach to fats in the pores and if you notice a slight tint from the products you can wash off the color effect with warm water. But make sure to leave the product on and only wash off after they've had time to work.
The first stage of scar reduction and skin remodeling may leave the pores temporarily looking enlarged. This should pass. Routinely visiting a steam bath or sauna may help reduce the appearance of pores while the skin's natural process is helped to repair and remodel itself.

What are the Products Recommended for Active Acne?
Skin Remodeling Copper-Peptides, originally designed for skin remodeling with the background of wound healing, have been shown to be effective for reducing the appearance of acne scars. However, these products do not serve as a treatment for acne.

A dermatologist should be consulted if you have questions regarding how to cope with cystic acne or other severe acne problems. But the combination of hydroxy acids along with strong Copper-Peptides have produced surprising results in effectively removing the appearance of various scars and blemishes.
Where acne breakouts are still occurring, Super CP Serum may be used along with LacSal Serum (to help exfoliate, or remove, damaged skin proteins), CP Serum (which is milder than Super CP Serum) can also be used. Some clients have had good results spot treating with Super Cop 2X - Extra Strength to prevent post-acne scarring.

What Products are Best for Lips?
Many have inquired on how to deal with dry, chapped lips. Skin Biology's SRCP Creams can work very well in this area.
Some female long distance runners, whose lips get very dry, have used TriReduction Cream. Models have been trying this as well. It is safe to use these products on the lip area. Although our creams may not have the same 'taste' or smell as other lip glosses they have many beneficial properties for aiding in skin repair.

What is the Suggestions for Those Considering Chemical Hair Straightening?
Skin Biology is dedicated to providing science based products that aid in skin remodeling and scalp conditioning. But since our main focus is scalp and skin health, we would strongly recommend that one consult a skilled hair care professional with a history of successfully working with chemical hair relaxers to see if that is an option for them personally and to recommend specific brands, treatments, and styles.
A skilled hair care professional will be able to actually take a look at your hair (and scalp) and suggest a product for you. For this procedure we recommend consulting with a professional rather than trying to perform it yourself.
If you do decide to have a chemical relaxer applied we suggest, for keeping chemically treated hair in the best condition as possible, the following: No Heat (try to air dry hair at all times if possible - Or at least use Less Heat). Also be careful of harsh Shampoos and Conditioners (when used more than needed these can actually damage hair). As far as internal supplements, MSM and Flaxseed Oil have been found to be beneficial to healthy hair follicles which is the root of healthy hair.
Folligen Lotion can help improve hair health, reduce hair loss, promote hair growth, and improve scalp health. This product is based on the Skin Remodeling Copper-Peptides (SRCPs) invented by biochemist Dr. Loren Pickart. The hair can be parted and Folligen Lotion or Folligen Cream can then be applied directly to the scalp. Emu Oil-S for Hair can also be applied afterward and works as a penetrating agent to help the SRCPs further penetrate and increase effectiveness. But again since we are not hair care professionals, Skin Biology is not able to give any recommendations on specific brands of relaxers or treatments to use and does not recommend the use of one specific treatment over the other.
