POST TREATMENT RECOVERY by Cosmedix

Updated: Oct 24, 2023

Congratulations on taking the first step to a new skin care regimen.


The Post Treatment After Care Kit by COSMEDIX Skin Care is the perfect choice to help soothe post treatment skin.



MORNING ROUTINE ☀️



Step 1: Cleanse with Benefit Clean Gentle Cleanser 🌿 Wet your face with lukewarm water. Apply a small amount of Benefit Cleanser to your fingertips and gently massage it onto your skin in circular motions. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat your face dry. You can use morning and night without stripping the skin.


FYI: Cosmedix cleansing products offer effective cleansing without the traditional foaming or bubbly experience often associated with other cleansers (More bubbles does not mean cleaner). Instead, it operates through an emulsifying and lathering action, which means it creates a creamy texture allowing the cleanser to surround and trap oil and debris, making it easier to rinse away with water without stripping the skin of it's natural oils or leaving residue on the skin.



Step 2: Benefit Toner 🌱 (NOT included in Kit, Available for purchase a la carte) Apply Benefit Antioxidant Toner to balance your skin's pH levels and tighten pores. Use after cleansing. Moisten a cotton pad with the product and swipe it over your face and neck. Avoid the eye area. Allow it to dry before applying the next product! This step can help balance your skin's pH and enhance the absorption your serum application.



Step 3: Apply CPR Skin Recovery Serum 💦 (Water Based) Dispense a small (pea sized) amount of the serum onto your fingertips. Gently massage the serum into your skin using upwards and outwards motions. Allow serum to fully absorb into your skin before applying any other products. This may take a minute or two.



Step 4: Apply Hydrate+ SPF

Highly Recommended: If you are leaving out the house during daylight hours you will need environmental protection from pollution and sun exposure. Sunscreen helps protect your skin from further damage. Hydrate+ SPF is the perfect moisturizer + SPF combination designed to offer sun protection while providing hydration to the skin. We also recommend leveling up to Peptide Rich SPF 50 by Cosmedix




EVENING ROUTINE 🌙

The skin goes through a natural repair and regeneration process at night, know as the circadian rhythm. This is when cell turnover and collagen production tend to be more active. Using deeper more penetrating active ingredients at night can leverage this natural process and maximize their effectiveness.




Step 1: Cleanse with Benefit Clean Gentle Cleanser🌿 Wet your face with lukewarm water. Apply a small amount of Purity Cleanser to your fingertips and gently massage it onto your skin in circular motions. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat your face dry. Active cleansers are great for evening cleansing to gently exfoliate, unclog pores, remove make up, remove oil build up and help revealing a smoother complexion. For next steps, we recommend adding active cleanser in the evening. Ask your esthetician for recommendations at your next skin care consultation! Step 2: Benefit Toner 🌱 (This product is NOT included in Kit, Available for purchase a la carte) Apply Benefit Balance Antioxidant Toner to balance your skin's pH levels and tighten pores. Use after cleansing. Moisten a cotton pad with the product and swipe it over your face and neck. Avoid the eye area. Allow it to dry before applying the next product! This step can help balance your skin's pH and enhance the absorption your serum application.



Step 3: Apply CPR Skin Recovery Serum 💦 (Water Based)

Dispense a small (pea sized) amount of the serum onto your fingertips. Gently massage the serum into your skin using upwards and outwards motions. Allow serum to fully absorb into your skin. This may take a minute or two. (We Recommended layering multiple serums for deeper penetration.) Allow each layer to full absorb before applying the next.



Step 4: Apply Cell ID Nutritive Defense Serum (Water Based Serum) 💦


Deliver targeted nutrients and antioxidants to your skin with a lightweight serum. Apply a few drops and gently pat and spread onto your face including neck. Massage it into your face and neck using upward motions to promote circulation and a healthy glow.

Take your time building your skin care supply. Remember, skin care doesn't have to be overly complicated or expense. This starter kit will help you learn the basic fundamental steps and your esthetician will help you build from this baseline at your pace and budget.


Every month get excited about replenishing your favorite products and introducing additional skin care into the routine.


Remember, skincare results can vary person to person, so be patient and give the product time to work. It may take several weeks to see noticeable results from a new routine. Consistency is KEY. Execute your Morning & Evening Regime every day to achieve best results.


If you experience any irritation or adverse reaction, discontinue use and contact your esthetician. We may need to introduce serums gradually as we rebuild the skin barrier and avoid overloading the skin.
