Is it like a 3 to 5 step system? Or do you use the cleanser and toner...and the other things at random.
It's a simple 4 step sytem. 1
st cleanse, 2
nd tone, 3
rd repair, and 4
th moisturize.
First you cleanse, then use the 'revitalizing toner'. The toning is a very important step because it prepares the skin to better absorb the
Gen III & Gen IV technologies in the other steps. Gen III technology contains special liposomes that penetrate deep into the skin. Once they reach a certain pH level, the liposomes break open to release their contents to the fibroblasts & keratinocytes deep within the skin. The toner is a vital step in preparing the skin to best absorb them, and to ensure the proper pH level of your skin. Next step is DNA repair créme which releases repairative enzymes from sea plankton into the skin. The technology was originally developed to assist children with the genetic disorder called xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), a disease where kids are unable to produce their own repairative enzyme from UV damage, and as a result must live life shielded from the sun. Sea Plankton at the equator level is exposed to a tremendous amount of UV rays, and over time has evolved to repair itself from UV damage. This same enzyme is identical to our own, and really facilitates repair to the damage to our DNA that solar radiation produces. Because the market of kids with this disease is so small, it wasn't profitable for manufacturers to produce this, ...however, due to the huge cosmetic effect it has on the skin, Synergy acquired the rights to it, and uses it as a cosmetic skin créme. Were it not for that, these poor kids would get no relief at all, and would be forced to live their lives in moon suits. Next step is 'Anti-aging Serum' (I prefer to do this step only at night because you have to pat it on and wait for it to absorb) I prefer my skincare to be quick & hassle-free. Next step is 'Advanced Face Cream' moisturizer. All of our skincare products incorporate what we call Liquid Crystal Technology & Barrier Restoration Technology.
Liquid Crystal TechnologyIn order to make a creamy lotion there must be an emulsion of oil and water. Most lotions contain soap-like ingredients in order to keep the oil and water mixed together. These can be extremely harsh on the skin, damage the skin’s natural barrier, and increase the loss of precious moisture. The truth is that most lotions create the dry skin problems they are touted to repair. Synergy has created a special emulsion that we call Liquid Crystal Technology which is free of harsh detergents and soaps. With Liquid Crystal Technology we can create a luxurious emulsion that is actually good for your skin.
Barrier Restoration TechnologyThe top layer of our skin is responsible for keeping good things in and bad things out of our body. It is a barrier that must work well to keep the water (or moisture) in and foreign matter (or allergens) from entering. The problem is that many things can attack this barrier, including harsh cleansers, UV exposure, hot water, cold air, and conventional lotions and soaps. Synergy's Barrier Restoration Technology in our skin care products is a patented and proprietary combination of fatty acids, lipids, and cholesterol which work together to repair and normalize the skin's barrier. This complex helps the process of normalizing the skin's barrier function more rapidly than the skin could achieve on its own.

With steps 3, 4, & 5, it's basically just a tiny little dab the size of a pea, smoothed over your entire face.
If you're like me, you might find yourself having to literally sit on your hands to keep from touching your face afterwards. I was so blown away by how my skin felt & looked after I first used it, that I just couldn't stop touching my face.
