The Skin and Milieu Milieu Modulating (Very Important) Not only do we want to address what is going on the outside, more importantly we want to look at what’s going on inside that manifests on the outside

Pleo Citro Milieu Modulating (very important) Pleo Citro - homeopathic citric acid used to support the Kreb’s Citric Acid cycle.
Increases cellular metabolism and blood viscosity
Decreases lactic acid production and fluid retention
Reduces edema, inflammation and balances pH Ingredients: Citric acid 4x/6x/12x/30x/200x Dosage: 1-2 tabs one to three times daily

Pleo Sanuvis Milieu Modulating (very important) Pleo Sanuvis: lactic acid is the most powerful alphahydroxy acids (AHAs) in skin care today! neutralize the debilitating lactic acid build up in skin and muscles Milieu modulating (intra and extracellular) matrix Alters metabolism and eliminates metabolic waste from the skin (largest organ) Balances micro-biome of the skin (image of skin and bacteria) Ingredients: L(+)-lactic acid 4x/6x/12x/30x/200x Dosage: 1-3 tabs two to three times daily

Acid-Base Balance for the Skin Acidic Terrain/Milieu An acidic terrain is prone to inflammation, reactions (such as allergies), toxic build-up and potential for chronic skin conditions. The goal of Acid-Base balance with an alkalizer is to flush the excessive H+ ions out of the tissues and obtain a normal acidbase balance.
