Do You Have Acne Prone Skin?

At Skindulgence proudly carry GM Collin's PurAcne Oxygen, an innovative oxygenating treatment designed to help your skin heal, revealing healthy, clear skin, with substantially less infection and trauma!

In addition to its antibacterial properties, oxygen increases cellular energy, detoxifies, and reduces the effects of stress. By stimulating the oxygen consumption of cells, the skin will appear healthier, more balanced and revitalized. The PurAcne line contains GM Collin's breakthrough Oxygen Complex which inhibits and prevents growth of the propioni acne bacterium which is anaerobic and cannot live in the presence of oxygen. It is designed to control acne and prevent blocked pores while it also detoxifies and brightens the complexion.

We also offer a PurAcne Oxygen Clinical Treatment. This revolutionary facial is designed to decongest pores, control acne and revitalize the texture, tone and evenness of skin. After this five step treatment your skin will be luminous, moisturized and younger looking! But don't worry, we do all the work for you while you get to relax and enjoy the serenity of our spa.

To obtain maximum efficiency, one treatment per week is recommended for five consecutive weeks. Don't forget to follow up the Oxygen PurAcne line at home to ensure clear, radiant skin! Below is a testimonial from one of our newest clients that came to us with concerns about her skin. She was badly broken out, highly congested and very sore:

"After my first Facial, an Algomask treatment, my skin felt so much more hydrated & really soft. Tazeem also suggested I try a series of Oxygen treatments, which I have recently tried & have already seen a huge difference in my skin. I had a film on my skin, even after cleaning it, which never seemed to go away... I had tried different products high end brands and other expensive spa treatments and nothing worked. Everything I tried compounded my problems as my skin was over-exfoliated, over-dehydrated and painfully inflamed. We needed to soothe and rehydrate my skin first and now the oxygen facials are healing the root cause of my acne breakouts. I saw instant results after I left the spa and I continue to see the painful breakouts disappear and the oily film is now completely gone! Now I have finally experienced what clean skin feels like & I love it, my skin can breathe again! I feel so much better about myself & I love what I see when I look in the mirror! I have also been using the skincare products from GM Collin, that Tazeem recommended & I am loving them! Thank you Tazeem, you really are a miracle worker, you have given me back my beautiful skin and how I can keep it for good!"
-Cindy N Port Moody

Cindy is not the only one who has seen fantastic results, many of our clients swear by these Oxygen treatments. If you have tried everything and can't get your stubborn acne to go for good, GM Collin's PurActiv and PurAcne lines may just be the thing you need!
