What about using the serum on an oily scalp (is regular use connected with more frequent shampooing?) or on thin hair that is easily weighed down by cosmetics?

L4S or Clinical Lift – which product is more suitable for me? I am 55 years old.

The best recommendation is to choose cosmetics based on their function. If you are looking for a rich nourishing cream for everyday use that is designed to lift the oval of your face and complement the losses in skin structure – then the Clinical Lift line would be most suitable. However, if you are looking for a product with an instant lifting effect, you should go for the Lift for skin. The best solution is complete care – a selected day/night cream for mature skin and the L4S serum for enhancing the rejuvenation effect.

The main purpose of the L4S line is an anti-wrinkle effect. It may happen that a particular person’s skin requires greater moisture, and then we recommend the additional use of a small amount of the cream.

There are no contraindications for the constant use of L4L products to maintain the effects.

We recommended L4L for a Botox-like effect – eliminating wrinkles and providing intensive rejuvenation.  However, primers are designed to prolong the duration of make-up.

The Lift4Skin line is the only line on the market with such a high concentration of the innovative ingredient, SYN-AKE, which guarantees the effects confirmed by clinical studies.

What is the difference between L4L eyelashes and L4L eyebrows?

Both products contain the same complex of active substances that are now considered as one of the most effective compounds for strengthening eyelashes and eyebrows.

What is the difference between the Long-Wearing Mascara and the conditioner for eyelashes?

The eyelash conditioner is a product which has an active effect on eyelashes – it has a beneficial influence on their growth, amount and life cycle. The mascara’s formula focuses on the regeneration effect – it strengthens eyelashes and promotes their growth. What is more, it contains an innovative polymer, which covers the eyelashes from root to tip, lengthening them physically. However, the mascara is not a conditioner. The effects of these 2 products are slightly different. The conditioner acts more intensively on eyelashes – after completing therapy, your eyelashes will regenerate and will look longer and thicker. The mascara will also stimulate them, but in a more delicate and subtle way. It will enable you to have perfect make-up for 24 hours; however, it will not act on the eyelashes as deeply as the serum. If you want to obtain a spectacular long eyelashes effect, we recommend the conditioner. However, if you expect that the cosmetic will guarantee ideally separated, emphasised eyelashes (and will condition and strengthen them at the same time) as well as provide a durable make-up effect, then the mascara will meet your expectations.

L4S or 360 Beauty Primer – which product is a better make-up base?
