Which product do I choose to use post-procedure: Professional Serum or Recovery Night Complex?
The Professional Serum is designed to be used after in-clinic procedures. It is light and easily absorbed into the skin with a pH that is designed to be gentle on sensitized skin.

The Recovery Night Complex can also be used on sensitized skin, but it is better applied at night because of the gel-like texture that forms a light film over the skin to protect and hydrate it. This texture is also not conducive to the convenient application of sunblock or makeup which is why it is not recommended for use during the day.

As a night-time regimen on the day of the procedure, you can apply the Professional Serum followed by the Recovery Night Complex.

Why is the Professional Serum pink?
Professional Serum contains phenolsulfonphthalein (a pH indicator) which is reddish/dark pink. As each batch of protein mix may have slight differences in acidity or alkalinity, the color can range from light yellow/orange to light red/dark pink. This is within our acceptable range.

It is recommended to keep CALECIM® Professional products in cool conditions, not exceeding 33°C or 91.4°F. Please discontinue usage of the product if the color appears to be different from the stated acceptable range.

Why is there a smell to the Professional Serum?
The Professional Serum is fragrance-free. The smell comes from the high concentration of an active ingredient, mainly Cord Lining extract, in the formulation. The smell disappears soon after the application and most users don’t notice it after a few minutes.

Why does my ampoule of Professional Serum look and smell different from the last one?
The extract derived from each batch of Cord Lining is slightly different. This results in slight differences in color and smell in the end product because of the high concentration of active ingredients used.

When can I start seeing results from the Professional Serum?
When Professional Serum is used after in-clinic procedures, the calming and soothing effect is usually quite rapid with patients experiencing some amounts of decreased redness, swelling, and discomfort within 15 minutes of application.

Can I use CALECIM® Professional with Retin-A, types of Retinols, types of Vitamin C, AHAs, BHAs, and anti-oxidants?
How do I incorporate CALECIM® Professional into my regimen with these other active ingredients?
CALECIM® Professional works well with the most active ingredients commonly used in other skincare. Your skincare should be layered according to the viscosity of the product. Water-based products should be applied first (like toners, and watery serums), followed by gel-like textures. Light creams can be applied after, followed by heavier creams. For AM regimens, sunblock should be applied last.

Is this safe to use immediately after a skin procedure?
It depends on how ablative your procedure was. All creams/serums/gels should only be applied to skin that has fully epithelized.

Can I use CALECIM® Professional products if I have acne?
While the occasional pimple may be part of the natural process of skin renewal, you should avoid the use of any CALECIM® Professional skincare if you have active acne. Your doctor or dermatologist will be able to ascertain whether you are a suitable candidate for the product.

Can I use CALECIM® Professional products if I am breastfeeding or pregnant?
Yes, CALECIM® Professional products are safe for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. However, we highly recommend that you consult your obstetrician/gynecologist before starting any new skincare routine.
