It’s all about ingredients

To create high-quality, effective formulas, Arcona sidesteps the cheap fillers, dyes and preservatives that only bring short-term benefits. For lasting results, Arcona embraces cosmeceutical-grade ingredients that transform the structure of the skin, including:

• Enzymes
• Amino acids
• Antioxidants
• Lipids
• Essential oils
• Vitamins and minerals

Their commitment to quality doesn’t end with ingredients. Arcona approaches skin care as a science — emphasizing the synergistic combinations of ingredients that yield the most effective results. And, unlike other manufacturers, Arcona’s formulations are created in small batches using state of the art, cold-processing technology to preserve the quality and integrity of every ingredient.

Build a basic routine

Arcona believes that the basic routine should be simple, sophisticated and most of all — effective. To achieve this, Arcona developed the Basic Five program — a daily skin care system that’s built around your particular skin concerns.

Based on your skin type, take a look at the Basic Five formulas and build your daily routine:

• In the morning. Arcona’s Basic Five program begins with a cleanser and moisturizer duo that nourishes, strengthens and protects all day long:

• Normal, dry, sensitive or aging skin: Begin your routine with the exfoliating action of ARCONA Golden Grain Gommage. Boasting a unique blend of enzymes, this gentle cleanser lifts away dead cells, allowing ingredients to better penetrate skin for improved action. Next, add an all-day protective barrier against pollution by applying ARCONA Desert Mist — a multitasking hydrator that repairs and strengthens skin from morning until night.

• Problem skin: If you have acne-prone skin, start your daily regimen with ARCONA Cranberry Gommage. This gentle exfoliant features cranberry and raspberry extracts to cleanse and tone while minimizing the appearance of pores. Follow up with ARCONA AM Acne Lotion to arm your complexion against acne-causing bacteria while unclogging pores with salicylic and lactic acids.

• Oily skin: Dissolve away unwanted oil with ARCONA Cranberry Gommage, leaving skin clearer, smoother and more refined. Then, infuse your freshly cleansed pores with ARCONA Desert Mist to hydrate.

• Evening. Your daily regimen ends with a cleanser and nighttime treatment formulated to heal, repair and regenerate skin as you sleep:

• Normal skin: Each evening, wash your face with ARCONA Toner Tea Bar to arm skin with calming antioxidants. Then, top off your routine with ARCONA Gentle Solution. Its gentle-acting Glycolactolymer complex works hard as you sleep to resurface skin and stimulate cell renewal.

• Problem skin: Reverse any damage from the day with ARCONA Raspberry Acne Bar. This antibacterial cleansing bar treats breakouts while calming inflamed, irritated skin with soothing raspberry extracts. Then, apply ARCONA The Solution — an intense night treatment with advanced Glycolymer complex to repair sun damage and stimulate cellular reproduction as you sleep.

• Oily or aging skin: Begin your nighttime routine with ARCONA Toner Tea Bar to calm skin and neutralize free radicals. Follow up with ARCONA The Solution to restore and balance for a brighter complexion.

• Sensitive skin: For skin that’s easily irritated, ARCONA Berry Fruit Bar brings deep, soothing cleansing with rich raspberry and cranberry extracts to fight free radicals. Last, apply ARCONA Gentle Solution for vital skin resurfacing and cell renewal all night long.

• Dry skin: Quench skin as you cleanse with the hydrating complex of coconut milk, kiwi extract and black currant oil in ARCONA Kiwi Cream Bar each night before bed. Finally, kiss your complexion good night with the renewing effects of the Glycolactolymer complex in ARCONA Gentle Solution night cream.

• Morning, evening or as needed. Every skin care regimen demands specialized treatments to address the special concerns of your skin type. For the last product in your Basic Five program, pick from the following:

• Normal, oily, sensitive or dry skin: ARCONA Magic White Ice delivers essential moisture deep within your pores. White cranberry complex, hyaluronic acid and mucopolysaccharides protect and condition your complexion.

• Problem skin: For on-the-spot blemish treatment use ARCONA Tabula Rasa as needed to minimize and unclog pores, soothe irritation, exfoliate dead skin and kill blemish causing bacteria.

• Aging skin: For advanced anti-aging, reach for ARCONA Magic Green Ice. This hydrating serum repairs skin at the cellular level with pentapeptides to reduce wrinkles and strengthen skin.

Other essentials

Arcona doesn’t stop at basic skin care. Go above and beyond with specialized products for the entire body:

• Body: While many anti-aging skin care routines focus on the face, Arcona addresses these issues from head to toe. Lather on ARCONA Pumpkin Body Lotion 10 Percent for the tightening, toning effects of glycolic acid and pumpkin extracts.

• Eyes: Strengthen and rebuild the delicate skin around your eyes as you sleep with ARCONA The Eyes Have It. Featuring the unique blend of Glycolymer complex and glycolic acid, this nighttime treatment boosts the production of collagen and elastin for youthful eyes.

• Hair: Give color treated hair the special care it demands with ARCONA Primo Amino Shampoo. The expert blend of amino acids, cranberry extract and shea butter preserves color, conditions hair and protects every strand from root to tip. Follow up with ARCONA Essential Nutrients Silk Leave-In Conditioner to infuse your locks with restorative silk proteins and panthenol for improved manageability.

And finally, add a little luxe

No routine is complete without at least a few products that pamper. With Arcona, you’ll find luxurious formulas that improve your skin while restoring your spirit.

• Moisturizing mask: While a daily glass of wine is said to improve health, a weekly wine mask can transform your skin. ARCONA Wine Hydrating Mask is a delicious cocktail of borage and macadamia nut oils to lock in hydration and hyaluronic acid to repair and refine.

• All-over exfoliating scrub: To experience the exfoliating effects of a body scrub, there’s no need to visit the spa — simply add ARCONA Fruit Enzyme Body Scrub to your beauty arsenal. Volcanic minerals, salicylic acid and natural fruit enzymes work together to cleanse, tone and revitalize for skin that glows from head to toe.

• Soothing spritz: A simple mist of ARCONA Lavender Hydrasol instantly hydrates while lifting away any unwanted stress or tension. Toss in your purse or store in your desk to rejuvenate your skin and restore your spirit at any time of day.

• Body bronzer: Achieve an attractive, healthy glow without the damaging effects of the sun with ARCONA Bronzer - Self Tanner. Unlike other formulas, this lightweight, oil-free tanning lotion includes shea butter to hydrate and antioxidants to fight off free radicals for healthy skin that glows.
