Hi Shelley01 - The Pro-Heal Serum contains retinol and Active Serum contains acids (both which are drying). These products are exfoliants and are thinning/removing the stratum corneum as they work. Even the Super Serum will exfoliate the skin somewhat since it's a Vit.C product (l-ascorbic acid). It may be that waxing on top of this is just too much for your upper lip area. If I were you, I'd avoid using the Active and Proheal in that area for several days before waxing. It may help.
Oddly, the stratum corneum can mask lines and furrows in a way, while at the same time giving the skin a crinkly look when it's dry. Over time however, the Active and Proheal will work their magic and help to diminish those lines, but sometimes in the short run, exfoliants can actually expose certain problems -- scars can sometimes seem more sharply defined, for instance, when the stratum corneum is exfoliated. |
