April News!

 Did I blink and miss March? Somehow it's April! I had an amazing, but bittersweet trip down to UCLA last month for part 3 of my skincare ingredients course. My teacher and mentor is retiring and leaving the country. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from her for over 20 years. Once again, we had so much material we couldn't get to it all, so there will be 6 more hours taught online over the next few months. Over in my professional-facing business, it's also been non-stop! I launched webinars for esthetic professionals 2 weeks ago, and am heading to North Carolina to lead a breakout session at an esthetic retreat in early May. My out-of-office dates for booking and product orders are below. Finally, an update about the elephant in the room ~ tariffs. My sincerest thanks for your continued support of my small business! 

With affection & sunscreen,

What's Going On with Tariffs?
A lot of you are asking me about this! The situation seems to be changing every few days, which is making it hard for me and all of my vendors to project costs. Here's what I know:

• The cost of everything is going up. Despite over 85% of my product offerings being manufactured in the States, ingredient sourcing is global, and many packaging components are not produced here at all. Changes to that will take years, not months.
• I will always be completely transparent about price increases, giving you time to purchase before they go into effect.
• I am doing my best to "stock up", but there is a limit to how much I can bring on board for retail and backbar to ensure not only that product doesn't sit, but what is financially viable for my small business.
• There will be no blanket increase in product prices, it will always be on a case-by-case basis.

Special Offer for My Subscribers! 

• I'm opening up a small number of memberships at the current pricing structure. If you see me regularly, a membership is a fantastic way to save money on both treatments and products! All the details are here. Please note: memberships show as full on my website, as I'm only offering this to those of you on my list. If you're interested, just send me a message! A "pay-in 4" option is available at no cost on PayPal if the lump sum feels daunting. If you're interested, send me a message!
• Prices on my KRx line will be increasing later in May. If you're a fan of Active 31 Eye Cream, YouthPlex Face Lift Cream, or the Neck Lift Firming Neck Cream, I would stock up now before prices increase.

Out-of-Office Dates

• I'll be out of the office at a retreat from May 2 until May 7.
• Get your product orders in before 2 PM PST 4/30 to ensure they ship before I go!

Hang in there, everybody!

Meet Your New Favorite Vitamin C Serum!

 C21 Youth Glow Serum is my new favorite vitamin C serum, and it's going to be yours too!

I did my own ingredient deep dive, a head-to-head ingredient deck comparison using a custom LLM (this is what Joel and I do for fun when we have time off), and finally, some wonderful clients took it home, tried it out, and gave their feedback. At the end of all of that, I decided that C21 will officially be replacing Triple C&E. Product highlights and some FAQs are below. Triple C&E will be available until the current stock runs out. Let me know if you have any additional questions. Available now!

With affection & sunscreen, 
Jill

C21 Youth Glow Serum

• The ultimate combination of actives for environmental protection, brightening, and superior moisturization.
• 3 forms of Vitamin C, multi-molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid, and added ingredients to increase the bioavailability of action ingredients.
• Over time, stimulates the skin's own production of collagen & hyaluronic acid.

FAQs

• Who's it for?
  Virtually anyone. Safe for acne-prone skin and skin that has been sensitive to Vitamin C serums in the past.
• How to use:
  Apply 2 pumps to face & neck after cleansing, before moisturizer or sunscreen.
  (If you are on a customized routine for acne, I'll let you know the best way to integrate this serum.)
• How much is it?
  Same size (1 fl. oz. airless pump) and same price point ($64.) as Triple C&E.
• What if I've been cocktailing the Antioxidant Defense Complex w/ Triple C&E?
  You still can w/ C21! Use it exactly the same way.

Can't wait for you to try it!!

New Year, New Products!

 

New products for a new year! I am beyond excited to share some new formulas I’m bringing on board this year. As some of you know, I’ve been navigating challenges with the lab that makes a few of my products. (It’s been a process, to say the least!) I’ve been absorbing the extra costs and frustrations while working to find replacements, but I want you to know these are not decisions I take lightly. In fact, I’ve been tirelessly testing alternatives (some didn’t even come close to making the cut) to ensure the new products not only match but exceed the results you’ve come to expect. And trust me, these three new offerings deliver! All the details are below, including what will be discontinued. There are more new products to announce in the coming months that I'm testing out now, so stay tuned! With affection & sunscreen,  Jill Active-31 Revitalizing Eye Cream Formulated with 10 peptide complexes, 6 different types of collagen, hyaluronic acid, Panax ginseng, and lactobacillus to effectively reduce dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines. This multifunctional powerhouse will be replacing the Eye Serum. The Eye Serum will only be available until the stock runs out. Can't wait? Preorder here. I expect the new products to ship early next week. Neck Lift Intensive Firming Neck Cream I have been searching for a new neck cream FOREVER!! You're going to love this one. Targeted blend of potent ingredients includes 22 active ingredients, including 6 different forms of collagen, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and a multitude of botanical extracts, each addressing specific concerns like wrinkles, dryness, and sun damage. Effectively improve skin firmness, elasticity, and hydration, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and crepey skin in as little as four weeks.  Can't wait? Preorder here. I expect the new products to ship early next week. YouthPlex Facelift Cream A sophisticated fusion of science and nature, offering a precise blend of high-quality ingredients including Volufiline to restore lost volume, and a blend of peptides to rebuild collagen and elastin.  Cutting-edge peptides such as Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Copper Tripeptide-1, and Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, deliver comprehensive anti-aging benefits. Ceramide 3, Squalene, and Olea Europaea Fruit Oil contribute to skin barrier support and moisture retention. YouthPlex will be replacing MoisturePlus Blend #2. MoisturePlus Blend #2 will only be available until the stock runs out. Can't wait? Preorder here. I expect the new products to ship later this week or early next week. Friendly Reminder: There's been a surge lately of folks rescheduling right when their reminder is sent 7 days prior. Here’s the thing: These last-minute cancellations make it difficult to fill the spot, and my time often goes unbooked as a result. Adding your appointment to your personal calendar immediately after booking is a simple step that helps avoid surprises later. This way, you get the time you need, and I can provide the best service to as many clients as possible. Thank you for understanding and respecting my time—I truly appreciate it!
