Directions for Use
Revive Day Cream
General Directions: AM: Apply after gently washing
face and/or applying toner. Follow with SPF 30 or higher.
Reapply as needed throughout the day for extra moisture.
Renewal Night Cream
General Directions: PM: Apply after gently washing face
and/or applying toner.
MicroScrub
General Directions: AM or PM: Use as a substitute for your face wash, or afterwards, 1-3 times per week for more advanced cleaning, exfoliation, and dead skin cell removal. With mild to moderate pressure, rub in a circular motion for 5-10 seconds per area. Rinse with tepid water and pat face to dry.
Advanced Healing Cream
General Directions: AM and PM: This product is intended to be used after facial procedures such as PCA chemical peels, light TCA chemical peels, Glycolic Acid peels, Salicylic Acid peels, Jessner's Solution peels, post-sun exposure, microdermabrasion, dermaplane treatments, and post wind-exposed skin.
Apply liberally 2-3 times per day to affected area with a gentle patting motion in order to avoid premature peeling or damage. Continue this regime until you have finished peeling and your new fresh skin is visible (typically 5-14 days), or as directed by your provider.
OBAGI Protocol Directions:**
Initial 18-Week Program: Please, try to avoid VILLANO MD product use on a daily basis.
If you must stop the OBAGI program (i.e., 5 days prior to a chemical peel, 3 days prior to a "big event") use VILLANO MD Advanced Healing Cream after foaming gel/gentle cleanser, toner, Vitamin C serum (if previously using). Follow with OBAGI SPF 30 or 35.
After event, please return to using the OBAGI program. After a chemical peel, follow your physician's or medical aesthetician’s instructions regarding post-peel treatment. VILLANO MD Advanced Healing Cream is highly recommended.
Also, as directed by your prescribing physician, and/or in periods of extreme dryness, the Advanced Healing Cream or Revive Day Cream can be used.
