Frequently Asked Questions



How do I apply the Creams?

     Before applying the creams, rinse your face preferably using only warm water, or a cleanser; then apply Cream to clean dry skin.

     Apply Radiance Skin Restorer Cream (Day Cream) twice daily (or more often on first use) to your face, hands and arms and other skin areas that are exposed to sunlight frequently. This cream helps restore and hold moisture that has been destroyed by the sun, wind, or reflection of water from the sun.

     Use Radiance Overnight Conditioning Cream (Night Cream) before bed as your overnight conditioner. As with your morning preparation, it is advisable to wash or cleanse your face as described above. Apply Radiance Overnight Conditioning Cream to your face smoothing it around your eyes, forehead, cheeks and neck. Finish up with application to the front and back of your hands and forearms.

     Many people have dry, cracking skin on the heel and sole area of their feet. Applying a light coating of the Night Cream at bedtime will soften and repair them in a few days.

     Radiance Premier Eye Gel (Eye Gel) has been especially developed to relieve the dryness above and below the eyes and the deep lines that sometimes occur at the sides of the eyes. Smooth the eye cream into the eyelids and the close area under the eye, and massage gently into the lines at the side of the eyes. If some of the gel gets into your eyes, it will not harm the eye, but can cause a mild irritation. Simply wash the eye with water and pat it dry with an absorbent towel.

What amount and frequency is recommended?

     The recommended daily usage of the Day Cream is a small amount applied twice daily- on arising, and early evening. For women in the mid-thirties and on, apply the Day Cream Skin Restorer in the morning and early evening; and the Night Conditioning Cream before bed.

     When you begin use of the Day Cream, the frequency of use depends on the condition of your skin. If your skin needs special attention because you live in a dry area or your occupation exposes your skin to sun damage, or weather, apply one-quarter to one-half teaspoon on the affected areas as often as your skin requires to restore softness and smoothness. To accelerate rapid recovery, it is suggested that you use the Day Cream every two hours for a week or more. You will note that the Cream begins to restore moisture from first application, and in a matter of a few days, your skin will be visibly softer and smoother.

     After your skin has attained the desired softness and smoothness, you can use one-quarter teaspoon of the Day Cream daily to maintain the effects. The amount of Night Cream to be used is also one-quarter teaspoon applied at bedtime on the face, hands and an additional quarter-teaspoon on other body areas, such as calloused heels and soles of the feet, as necessary to keep them soft.

     Using the Night Cream along with the Day Cream can accelerate the softening of dry skin.

     The signal to begin application of the Eye Gel is when lines start to appear at the temples and the skin above and below the eyes have lost some of their elasticity. To soften the lines around eyes, use a small amount of the Eye Gel massaged gently into skin areas above, beneath and temple sides of your eyes.

     The first jar of Skin Restorer Cream may be used in two weeks to one month. The second and succeeding jars may last from one month to two or three months, again depending on the condition of your skin and how fast it recovers. When your skin has the suppleness you desire, once a day application may be sufficient.

     Because the Overnight Conditioning Cream is generally used less frequently, the jar may last from two to three months after skin softness is restored.

     Instructions for the application of Radiance Premier Eye Gel call for it to be used sparingly. The one-ounce container should last from one to three months, again depending on the condition of your skin. Using an adequate amount when first applied will hasten the softening of lines and dryness, allowing you to apply the cream in lesser amounts and less frequently over time.

What will Radiance Skin Restorer Moisturizing Cream do for "lines" around my neck, throat and upper chest area, caused by exposure to the sun and weather?

     You should notice rapid improvement in the softening of lines by applying the Skin Restorer Day Cream at least once daily, and several times per day if your skin evidences severe dryness. When your skin has reached the vibrancy and "glow" you desire, once daily or even every other day may be sufficient maintenance.

     For especially dry areas around the eyes, it is advisable to apple the Eye Gel in the morning before make-up and again at bedtime on the skin around the eyes if it is unusually damaged.

Will the Day and Night Creams help alleviate blemishes and acne type eruptions?

     Women who have had problems with blemishes and eruptive type acne reported that after a month of consistent use of the Day and Night Creams, their skin showed dramatic improvement. A few women reported that the blemishes and acne worsened after using the creams for the first week. These women were encouraged to continue application of the creams for the balance of the month. When they called after the end of the month, these same women reported that their skin had cleared, and had never looked better, or healthier.

     The two Creams and Eye Gel heal from the inside out. The combination of all natural ingredients used in the formulas (herbals, purified water, fat soluble vitamins, minerals, and amino acids) stimulate connective tissue and force the toxins out of the body. Toxins oftentimes are eliminated through the skin (the largest organ of the body) instead of being eliminated through the colon or other organs.

Will these Creams and Gel benefit oily skin?

     Women with oily skin have reported that the Creams and Gel seem to neutralize oily skin and produce the same excellent results as with dry skin.

Back To Top of FAQ

Do the Creams and Eye Gel absorb quickly and do they leave a film on the skin?

     The Creams and Gel absorb rapidly and completely, usually in less than a minute, and leave the skin smooth and soft with a shiny glow, leaving no film or greasy feeling on the skin. Some women report that their hands and face feel warm just seconds after application. The herbal ingredients increase circulation almost immediately resulting in the feeling of warmth.

     The skin will absorb as much as it needs within the first minute or two. If the creams and Eye Gel do not absorb quickly, it is a sign that too much has been applied to a particular area. Spread the extra Cream and Eye Gel to other areas of the skin or expand the local area to permit absorption. As you continue to use the Creams and Gel, you will observe that you can apply less as your skin softness improves.

Are the Creams and Gel a form of Alpha Hydroxylacids (AHA's)?

     The two Creams and Eye Gel have very low AHA levels. Most AHA's will cause the skin to burn and peel because the have a high alkaline ph. The Day and Night Creams and Eye Gel have not more than a 2.4 acid level and are thereby soothing to the skin rather than cause burning or peeling.

What is the purpose of Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate in the Cream and Gel formulations?

     Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is the dermal form of Vitamin C. This means that it is readily absorbable through the skin and aids in collagen formation, retards the formation of melanin and keratin and stays in the skin tissue for a considerable length of time. It is the world's foremost de-pigmenting agent with 88% inhibition of lipofuscin (brown spots) often in only 30 days.

My skin is very sensitive and I have tried many so-called non-allergenic creams. All they do is make my skin break out. Because of my experiences, I am afraid to use something new. Why should I try these new Creams and Eye Gel?

     The two Creams and Eye Gel have been marketed long enough to elicit several hundred responses to questionnaires sent out with purchase of the products. Many women responded that the Radiance Creams and Eye Gel are the first ones that have not caused rashes, blemishes or other side effects. The hypothesis is that the herbal ingredients actually are anti-oxidants and healing agents to the skin. They promote healing from within, thereby forcing toxins to be eliminated through the skin, the major organ of the body. Once the toxins are cleared, the skin becomes healthy and vibrant.

Do these Creams and Eye Gel help other conditions of the skin such as eczema, psoriasis, cuts, bruises, abrasions and scar tissue?

     Reports received from some users of the two Creams and Eye Gel have told us that the redness and skin flakes and irritation causing itching have been relieved after applying one or all of the Creams. Cuts, abrasions and bruises seem to heal faster, and scar tissue lightens in color and dimension; due to not only the herbal ingredients, but also Vitamins A and E, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, (the dermal form of Vitamin C), and Aloe Vera. They all work synergistically to promote rapid healing and to reduce redness and scaly flakes of eczema and psoriasis.

Back To Top of FAQ

Are the Creams and Eye Gel effective for all skin types and textures?

     Men and women of all colors and skin types have told us that Radiance Creams and Gel absorb quickly, soften their skin, smooth calloused skin and promote rapid healing as indicated in the previous paragraph. Many women with various skin tones and textures have reported that most skin care products found on the market today do not absorb well, have ingredients that do not smooth and soften the skin; and in some cases have cause bumps and rashes. For these women, the Radiance formulas contain the correct balance of ingredients that permit all skin types to use them effectively.
