Sara Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 I am contemplating trying Kavi products after reading some reviews. I am 42 years old, blonde with fair, senstitive skin. I suffer from occasional breakouts, maybe one or 2 pimples every few weeks (but they take a long time to disappear), and have some issues with blackheads around my nose and bumps (whiteheads?) on my forehead. I have enlarged pores, and my skin tone and texture is uneven. I would say my skin is "normal" - it may veer more towards dry than oily. I have had some success lately using cleansers with the Olay Pro-X brush on my face in keeping my pores clean (but they are still enlarged). After looking at your site, I thought the Anti Acne System for Normal/Dry Skin might be appropriate, but I certainly do not suffer from severe acne. I was looking at System II but wasn't sure if the E. Retinol would be better than the Salicylic Acid 8 for my skin type. I also wants sure if one of the cleansing bars would be more suitable, or of I should try the Glycolic Cleanser or DermaWash. My goal is better skin texture, and clean, minmized pores. Thank you!

KAVI Support Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 From your description, the Anti-Acne System II for Normal/Dry Skin would be the best system with which to start, however if you are concerned about drying out your skin with the Pearl KAVI cleansing bar, you could build a more customized system to address your treatment goals. Here is one regimen that you may wish to consider: Cleanser Glycolic Cleanser 10 - use twice daily; suitable for anti-aging applications on dry skin. Toner - use once per evening as a final-stage cleanser; suitable for anti-acne applications on normal skin. Repair Enhanced Retinol 0.30% - apply up to twice daily; suitable for anti-aging and anti-acne applications on normal skin. Hydration Hyaluronic Acid 95 - apply up to twice daily; suitable for anti-aging applications on normal skin. On dry skin, consider the Glycolipidic Moisturizer, and on acutely dry skin, consider coupling the serums (Hyaluronic Acid 95 applied first, followed 3-5 minutes thereafter with the Glycolipidic Moisturizer). If you are interested in a more intensive approach to treating inconsistent tone and texture, you may wish to include a glycolic peel in your regimen. Glycolic peels are typically applied once per week, and we would advise reducing your use of Enhanced Retinol 0.30% to once per day should you decide to introduce a peel into the mix (on peel days, you may wish to skip retinol application altogether to avoid irritation). In selecting a peel strength, most find 30% to be a suitable starting concentration (those with sensitive skin should begin with a 20% concentration).
