Uncontrollable factors such as genetics and hormonal changes, in addition to daily, long-term exposure to environmental factors such as ultraviolet radiation and environmental pollution, lead to changes in the skin’s structure, function, tolerance and appearance – further contributing to the visible signs of photoaged, unhealthy skin.
Despite the effects of aging, it is possible to keep the skin functioning properly throughout life so that it overcomes damage from the environment and remains in a healthy state.
The Challenge – Restoring skin function
Evidence of photoaged, unhealthy skin:
Getting Skin Ready™ (GSR™) is a system of cleanse, exfoliate and tone that works synergistically to normalize skin function and restore overall skin health.
The essential first step in every skincare routine, Getting Skin Ready™ prepares the skin to effectively respond to solutions for the prevention and correction of skincare concerns such as acne, enlarged pores, redness, pigmentation and rough texture.
GSR™: Skin Normalizing Process:
In an 8-week clinical study, Getting Skin Ready™ improved the appearance, texture and quality of photoaged skin.
The Getting Skin Ready™ protocol comprises a three-step system that restores skin vitality and function. It features Gentle Cleanser, Exfoliating Polish and the Oil Control Pads.
A gentle cleanser for all skin types, designed to remove impurities and surface debris, and to deep-clean pores (lauroyl oat amino acids, glycerin and a blend of botanical extracts)
An exfoliating scrub that helps to promote exfoliation and remove dead skin cells and excess sebum (ultra-fine magnesium oxide crystals, tea tree oil and glycerin)
Pre-moistened pads to remove sebum, normalize pore size and help smooth skin texture (2% salicylic and glycolic acid)
GSR™ induced a statistically significant reduction in sebum presence at the 4-week interval.
Sebum presence assessment was based on grease spot photometry provided by the Sebumeter® tool. A higher score indicated a higher amount of sebum on the surface of the measurement area.
PROTOCOL: An 8-week clinical study on 35 subjects. Subjects cleansed both AM/PM with Gentle Cleanser, exfoliated in the AM with Exfoliating Polish and toned skin both AM/PM with the Oil Control Pads. Subjects used their own self-selected SPF 30+ sunscreen as needed throughout the course of the study.
GSR™ induced a statistically significant reduction in sebum presence at the 4-week interval.
Dirt presence assessment was based on the amount of skin scale adherent to the tape circle provided by the D-Squame® tool. A higher score indicated more skin scale on the tape, representing less exfoliation.
PROTOCOL: An 8-week clinical study on 35 subjects. Subjects cleansed both AM/PM with Gentle Cleanser, exfoliated in the AM with Exfoliating Polish and toned skin both AM/PM with the Oil Control Pads. Subjects used their own self-selected SPF 30+ sunscreen as needed throughout the course of the study.
At the 8-week interval, GSR™ induced a statistically significant reduction in pores.
Pore count/size assessment was provided by the Visia-CR imaging system, with 6 different lighting modalities used for the analysis.

Subjects used their own self-selected SPF 30+ sunscreen as needed throughout the course of the study.
At the 8-week interval, GSR™ induced a statistically significant improvement in skin texture.
Skin texture assessment was provided by the Visia-CR imaging system, with the standard 2 lighting modalities used for the analysis.
PROTOCOL: An 8-week clinical study on 35 subjects. Subjects cleansed both AM/PM with Gentle Cleanser, exfoliated in the AM with Exfoliating Polish and toned skin both AM/PM with the Oil Control Pads. Subjects used their own self-selected SPF 30+ sunscreen as needed throughout the course of the study.
Beginning at the 2-week interval, the investigator efficacy assessments statistically demonstrated highly significant results.
