Here are some tips and answers to frequently asked questions to help you
get the maximum benefit from your Village Facelift products. If you have
any additional questions or concerns about your product, please call or
visit the pharmacy.
What is a Cosmeceutical?
Cosmeceuticals are skin care products that provide added benefits beyond
a simple cosmetic or moisturizer. They are natural, noninvasive, gentle
and safe. The outcome of a healthy lifestyle, combined with a good
cosmeceutical treatment program, is often younger, healthier, more
vibrant and beautiful skin.
Why Does Our Skin Age?
Skin ages due to both internal and external factors. Internal aging
occurs with the passage of time and the natural changes in body
chemicals, such as hormones. External aging factors may include:
sunlight, air pollution, harsh treatments to the skin, detergents,
cosmetics, and human diseases. Some external aging can be prevented by
making healthy lifestyle choices, such as limiting sun exposure and
using good skin care products on a daily basis.
How will my skin improve after using Village Facelift products?
Lines and wrinkles will appear smoother, sunspots may diminish and
overall skin tone and texture will improve.
When will I see results?
Results vary by individual and are not guaranteed. However, improvement
with DMAE products may be seen within 20 minutes of the first
application. Improvement will be seen in lines and wrinkles, overall
skin tone and feel. On the whole, users should wait 90 days minimum to
see any results.
Why do the Village Facelift products require refrigeration?
Not all Village Facelift products require refrigeration—just the cream
formulas and the lip balm. These products should be kept refrigerated to
maximize their effectiveness and shelf life. You may store up to a
week's supply of Village product with your regular make-up products,
without refrigeration.
Village Facelift Cream
Do I need to use additional moisturizer after applying the cream?
No. Additional moisturizer is not necessary.
How long should I wait to apply makeup after applying the cream?
Wait approximately 1-2 minutes before applying any makeup.
Should I avoid the sun while using the cream?
All of our daytime creams have sunscreen, which helps protect your skin
from sun damage. Additional sunscreen may be applied if you have been
sweating or swimming and plan to remain outdoors.

Village C-Serum 10%
Test this serum on a small area of your face before applying to entire

use.
