Clear skin can be achieved with the proper Exfoliating Moisturizer and Cleanser — Young couple enjoying clear skin as they welcome in the New Year

As a Memphis Dermatologist since 1993, I have spent a fair amount of my career helping patients deal with prior sun damage and patients needing Acne Treatment. I’ve had many patients needing exfoliating moisturizers to complement prescription treatment for Acne, Keratosis Pilaris, Rosacea, and Actinic Keratosis. The AHA that penetrates into the skin the most easily is Glycolic Acid, originally discovered in sugarcane and pineapple. So starting in 2016 I decided to develop products containing Glycolic Acid. Now, a company of which I am President, Big River Silk Skincare Inc., manufactures and distributes GlycoShea Facial&Neck Lotion and GlycoShea Hand&Body Lotion.

Who would have imagined that the discovery of an organic chemical for skin rejuvenation could come from a botanical source, like sugarcane or pineapple? That chemical is Glycolic Acid, which acts on the what’s called the cell cycle to promote new cell growth in the Epidermis. So the GlycoShea Lotions blend the skin-moisturizing properties of Refined Shea Butter, a natural product from an African tree, with the skin-smoothing antiwrinkle cream effects of Glycolic Acid, GlycoShea’s anti-wrinkle ingredient. We blend these components into what’s called emulsions, using some of the purest natural water in the United States, from the Memphis Sands.

The GlycoShea Lotions work well with use of Big River Silk Skincare’s AmberSoy Soap Gel as a skin cleanser. AmberSoy is a soft glycerine cleanser designed by Dermatologists. AmberSoy Soap Gel can be used as a deep cleanser in the morning, then GlycoShea Lotion can then be applied afterwards as an exfoliating moisturizer. Big River Silk Skincare also manufactures GlycoShea Facial&Neck Cream and GlycoShea Facial&Neck Oil as alternate versions of this product for people with drier skin.

AmberSoy Soap Gel is an effective wash for people with oily skin or combination skin — AmberSoy Soap Gel can be used as an Acne Wash

Ambersoy is a particularly effective cleanser because it can be used as a face or body mask, perhaps 5-10 minutes before rinsing it off. It’s most suitable for people with oily skin or combination skin, for a particularly deep clean. as an Acne Wash. Best of all, Big River’s AmberSoy has no propylene glycol, no sulfates, no dyes, nor parabens. Available in No Fragrance Added. 1 oz: $14.95/2 oz: $22.95/8 oz: $74.95.

For more significant issues with Acne, consider getting a check-up with a Board-certified Dermatologist. Prescription treatments often include Retin A Cream or Gel (Tretinoin) or Azelex Gel. Sometimes oral antibiotics or even Accutane (isotretinoin) prove helpful.
