302 Skincare Pro Hya + – 1 oz.

302 Skincare Pro Hya + is an active moisturizer that is best used as a stand-alone product (not layered with other products) at time of application.  3-4x weekly use on alternating days or nights is recommended so as not to fatigue the skin. Works well in conjunction with regimens containing other active products.

Additional Details/ Introduction:

This product contains a high content of sodium hyaluronate with added skin surface smoothing peptide. Thus, best used as a companion active, excellent in combination with primary actives. It can be a standalone for those new to active products.

One thing to note with Pro Hya + (and any skincare product with sodium hyaluronate), is that it can be an inflammatory ingredient for some people. This especially when over applied. Our experience is that about 30% of regular  daily users of sodium hyaluronate will develop a clinical or subclinical (as in not visible) inflammatory response that accumulates over time and sensitizes the skin. Such subclinical sensitivity can lead to a very visible rosacea-like condition when the skin becomes further stressed by exposure to elevated histamine levels from pollen, fragrances, exfoliants. This can often generate confusion as to what may be the cause, while the culprit can likely be too steady a skin-diet of sodium hyaluronate. Worse, same can occur with too high of concentration in a formula.

Pro Hya + Ingredients:

Organic green tea, organic hydrosol of chamomile, sodium hyaluronate, rice peptides, kosher glycerine, organic jojoba oil, medium chain triglycerides, pre-polymer 2, squalane, cellulose polymer, polyquat 81, ammonium lactate, camphor and herbal extracts, C12-15 ammonium alkyl esters, phenoxyethanol, sodium benzoate, disodium EDTA

How to Use; Basic:

Apply evenings up to three times 3x per week (for the reasons noted in above Introduction). If combined with a primary active such as Retinol or Vitamin C, both should be limited to twice (2x) per week. That frequency of use generally will keep more than 90% of users in a skin-happy zone.

An excellent companion to 302 Skincare Pro Hya + is 302 Skincare Ceramide Serum. These actives can be used/ rotated in a simple yet effective regimen twice (2x) per week of each. Add an Eye Serum  and you have a complete regimen for reversing the visible signs of aging.

How to use; Additional Moisturizing and Surface Smoothing:

Apply Pro Hya + three times per week. Evening use is best.

Have at least two (and preferably three) cleansers to rotate with: 302 Skincare Face & Body Bar, 302 Cleanser and Revive (skin treatment/ cleanser) will provide excellent skin tone along with efficient cleansing.

Limit use of moisturizers to daytime use, and limit overall use when possible. In other words, if you don’t feel dry and you are not in harsh weather conditions, you might not need to moisturize.

After about 2 weeks introduce 302 Skincare Ceramide Serum and apply it three times per week on alternate evenings.

Use of ANY other 302 active, such as 302 Drops, A 0.5 Drops or C 12.5 DROPS also works well. Choose only one to rotate in combination with Pro Hya + 2x per week each. We recommend

If Pro Hya+ is your only active, then use of  non-active moisturizers during the day should be fine. Be aware that overuse of most moisturizers can weaken the skin and subtract the natural systemic moisturizing (that declines as we age) or that gained by using actives like Pro Hya +.
