SkinMedica®’s GRASS regimen was developed to help your skin look healthier, younger and more vibrant. These five product types – which represent the acronym “GRASS” – take the guesswork out of choosing essential ingredients to slow down the signs of aging.
Combining products containing key ingredients from each category creates your personal skin care regimen:
G for Growth Factors
- Help support skin rejuvenation and improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, skin tone & texture
- Growth factors are naturally-occurring proteins in your skin that deplete with age but are critical for skin repair and remodeling, preventing collagen breakdown
- Recommended product: TNS Essential Serum, an all-in-one anti-aging product featuring peptides and seven antioxidants
R for Retinols
- Enhances skin texture and renewal through exfoliation
- Aging causes skin cell turnover to slow down, and the skin needs assistance in shedding dead skin cells
- Retinols help unclog pores, boost collagen and speed cell turnover to even out discolouration, smooth the skin and create a more youthful glow
- Recommended product: Retinol Complex (0.25, 0.5 or 1.0) promotes skin exfoliation; improves tone, texture, firmness and the appearance of fine lines; and reduces age spots
A for Antioxidants
- Protect against free radical damage from environmental stressors
- Antioxidants are nutrients and enzymes that help prevent and repair damage caused by free radicals
- Recommended product: Vitamin C + E Complex delivers vitamins to the skin throughout the day, fighting free radicals while improving the texture of the skin
S for Sun Protection
- Protect against ultra-violet (UV) damage with broad spectrum coverage
- Recommended products: TNS Environmental Defense Sunscreen SPF 50 or TNS Daily Physical Defense SPF 30+
S for Specialty Products
- Customize your skin care regimen with a product to help your individual concerns, such as melasma, dry skin, acne, etc.
- Recommended products in this group: Lytera Skin Brightening Complex, TNS Eye Repair or AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser
Proven Results with GRASS
SkinMedica performed a 24-week clinical study in 2014, including 72 women and men aged 30 years and older. All participants had moderate to severe sun damage and skin discolouration.
At the end of the study, 100% of participants showed positive results including smoother skin and reductions in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while 97% also experienced improvements in the appearance of dark spots and patches on their face.
