It's here! My new barrier-reparative, acne-friendly, line-relaxing, makeup-priming treatment... Safe-Glace. FINE, we can call it a moisturizer! But I want to share why I feel it's more than that. Curious about peptides and why I chose Acetyl-Hexapeptide-8? In this episode of The Treatment Room, I break down what peptides are, how the “Chill Peptide” works, and why it’s more than just a trend. Learn how this neurotransmitter peptide relaxes micro-contractions, flips the “youth switch” in your skin, and smooths lines for a calmer, more radiant complexion. Plus, we explore what “rejuvenating skin behavior” really means—and how your basal cells get a little boost of youth. Science-backed, listener-friendly, and full of skincare insights you can actually use.⁠Shop Safe-Glace.⁠It's easy to get started... go to Pomp, create your account, import your clients, start recommending skincare, earn 30% profit every time.
