Kaolin is a type of clay originally discovered in China. It's used in cosmetics today because of it's purifying properties. It is also rich in minerals which help to further detoxify the skin.

Although Kaolin is often associated with acne-prone, and oily skin, it is actually appropriate for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Kaolin will not dry the skin and with a pH of 4.5 which is close to the pH of human skin, we find it's extremely gentle and soothing.

Tranexamic acid must be used with oil-soluble ingredients to have it be most bioavailable to skin.

As skin therapists, we know that one facial does not fit all. Skin may present itself one way, and two weeks later may look and feel completely different.

KrX's Custo:Med gives us the opportunity to customize each step in our facial treatments. This means individualized skincare, targeted treatments, and therefore better results with a more personalized experience.
