Workshop:   I will be giving an Aromatherapy, Tea, and Facial workshop in November (exact date not set) at Spark of Divine, 1789 Old dixie Hiwy, Vero Beach, Fl 32960.  It will last 2 - 3 hours and will be a hands on Workshop for Licensed Esthetician.  Lay people will also be in attendance.  Cost to be determined but I will keep it very affordable (probably $25)  Professionals should bring their portable tables.  More on this later.  Please note:  Cleanser we will be using Ormedic Facial Cleanser - If you do not have this product it will be provided during the workshop

I apologize to you Jackie as I did not make myself clear this is totally my fault.  I was talking about the Vital-C cleanser.  However,  By using the L-Ascorbic Acid Image Skin Care is using the cheapest (which is understantable they need to maintain a profit), as well as the LEAST stable form of Vitamin C.  The more stable and less irritating form is Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate (of course it is from 25 to 30 times more expensive).   It is no wonder your client has had a reaction - unfortunately many do (be very careful this leads to sensitization).  It is my personal feeling that Image Skin care may be more than aware of this problem and will be steadfast and quick to correct it.

@ Chere, so the Vital C Hydrating Anti Aging Serum 15% L-ascorbic Acid  is not really what it says it is.  I did call Image about this and they told me she was having a reaction to the L-Ascorbic Acid. I went to the Image training and they listed this as an ingredient along with BVOSC so not sure what your are referring to here.

Jackie the culprit in the Vita C is two fold,  1.is the Isohexadecane, and the other is Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (orange Oil).  There is no L-absorbic acid in the Vita C.   You need to remember that ISC is a large company they need to keep cost down (thats why you have Citrus Aurantium Dulcis) and not the Geniune and Authentic (it would be cost prohibitive)  but the mass manufactured oil  (this is the bitter orange oil from the peel and gosh knows the provanance).  The correct C would be Tetrahexyldecyl  Ascorbate.  Please be sure and tell Image about the problem you have had.   Believe me you are not the ONLY one seeing this problem.  Ladies please remember to READ the ingredients!  Just because someone tells you something is in a product DOES NOT mean it is!!!

Found out the client I was having issues with is sensitive to L-absorbic acid. All my clients that have rosacea and sensitive skin can't use the Vital C line. Which is what I thought that line was for her type of skin. The Ormedic line is working great for her now. I added a new product into my line called Nerium Ad, it's replacing all the glycolic acids and retinols from Image. I've seen faster results in 10 days then I did with the Eye lift cream on myself. Does anyone know of a skin scanner that can read the depth of wrinkles. Not like a woods lamp but one I can take before and after photos to show the percentage of skin corrections. Thanks everyone..

Hello, I just open my private skincare practice in Weston,Fl  I have 25 years of experience and I have worked with several product lines before, I am using Image in my office, I work with this line in the past and a I choose them because the ingredients narrow down the best ingredients available to quality skincare technology, I love them!!!!!

Question - Did she first experience red Blotching that spread? Did the blotching turn to dry flaking and itch?  Did she have any type of breakout in the red area?  Most importantly have you seen her to examine this problem?

The spf products actually also have vita-c in it... wonder if that is aggravating? What a mystery!

I will be seeing her tomorrow night for a mini facial to check out her improvement. Image said that lightening serum is so calming that they use it after chemical peels. She said the rash is not red anymore but she is still very dry.  My rep was jessical oulton. She was always their to answer my texts very quickly. So really I have no one helping me now. (Except everyone here and I thank you all so very  much) So After investing 2grand in start up, I don't really want to change lines again but If I don't have any customer support I will.

@Gina, She was only using the Ormedic cleanser, anti aging serum and spf. By the 2nd day she rashed out. I took her off the serum and image told me to put her on the lightening serum, 2days later I gave her a sample of the ormedic serum to put over the lightening serum is what image told me to do. She was still very dry and flaky and had to use the spf at night. So this has taken place over the last 2 weeks. I was going to see if the biotin cream would help.  I guess we will see, this line just may not be for her. Some people can't handle the active ingredients I guess.

The lightening serum also contains Vit. C. Who was your rep?
