What is the philosophy of First Aid Beauty? FAB provides its customers with modern, effective skincare essentials and solutions for problematic skin. We’ve combined beauty industry standards with medical innovations to forge new treatments for challenging skin conditions like acne and eczema. FAB products are uniquely designed to deliver maximum results with minimal irritancy. Finally, a product with medical engineering linked with a luxury feel.
Are First Aid Beauty products safe for sensitive skin? Our products are ideal for sensitive skin and allergy-tested. A number of popular skincare lines include various fragrances, dyes, and botanicals that are potential allergens for the skin’s immune system. The result is itchy, red skin when the body's immune system attempts to target these antigens. At FAB we keep it simple - if an ingredient doesn't help deliver superior results, it doesn't belong in our bottles!
What is the benefit of using First Aid Beauty products? The benefit of FAB products is clearer, healthier looking skin. Whatever ails your skin, we’re here to help, leaving your skin the way you remember it. The first step to fighting sensitive or “reactive” skin is to prevent flares in the first place. By using FAB every day, you’ll be avoiding harsh potential allergens found in many cosmetic and over-the-counter products that can trigger itchy, painful reactions and redness and blotchiness that may last weeks.
Who should use First Aid Beauty skincare? Anyone and everyone. We have certain products that target tough skin conditions, like our Ultra Repair Cream, Anti-Redness Serum, and Detox Eye Roller. Other formulations, like our Face Cleanser, are perfect for everyday use. All of our items are formulated to be gentle on the most finicky skin, from age 0 to 99!
Can First Aid Beauty skincare be used by men and children? Because our products are fragrance-free, they are particularly well suited for men who wish to avoid heavy scents in their daily skin regimen. All of our therapeutic items work equally well for men who are faced with similar issues such as baggy under eyes and excessive facial redness. Our products are also designed to be safe enough for children. Since our formulas were designed by a dermatologist, extra attention was paid to ensure that all ingredients used in our entire line are appropriate for the special needs of maturing skin.
Is it necessary to use the entire First Aid Beauty line or can I use individual products in the line? FAB was designed to work best with other products in the line, but if you have a favorite brand that you cannot live without, any of our formulations will compliment nicely without competing. FAB products are not contraindicated for use with any other line. We leave it to our customers to best target their own skin care regimen. Have acne? Use our Skin Rescue Blemish Patrol Pads either alone or together with our Face Cleanser or Skin Rescue Deep Cleanser with Red Clay.
Is First Aid Beauty a natural or organic skincare line? The botanicals we’ve chosen for FAB are of the highest caliber and deliver superior potency. We’ve selected a special blend of science and nature to arrive at the FAB line. All of our chosen ingredients, both natural and man-made, carry an impeccable safety record.
Are First Aid Beauty products fragrance-free? FAB products are 100% fragrance free. No fragrances or potentially irritating masking agents have been added.
Are First Aid Beauty products safe to use during pregnancy? There are no specific contraindications to using our products in pregnancy; however, it is always best to consult with your doctor on these issues, because he or she is the one who is best qualified to provide medical counsel. Caffeine found in our Detox Eye Roller and Anti-Redness Serum should be avoided during pregnancy.
\What First Aid Beauty products are appropriate for African-American skin? FAB products were designed to excel with many skin types, including skin of color. Regardless of a patient’s ethnicity, FAB scientists have compounded powerful active ingredients that deliver targeted care to the epidermis, pigmented and pale alike!
Do you test on animals? FAB has never tested on animals and never will, period.
Are First Aid Beauty products vegan, or do any of them contain animal by-products? The majority of FAB products contain no animal ingredients. Wherever possible, we seek alternatives to animal by-products. For example, instead of animal cholesterol, we use squalane derived from olives to help hydrate the skin.
What is the FAB Antioxidant Booster that is found in each of your products? The FAB Antioxidant Booster is a propriety blend of the most powerful antioxidants known to botanical science. It includes licorice root, feverfew, and white tea extracts. Throughout the First Aid Beauty line, our FAB Antioxidant Booster is there, working hard to scavenge free radicals and prevent future photodamage.
What do antioxidants do? The primary purpose of our FAB Antioxidant Booster is to supply the skin with a selection of effective and potent antioxidants. The regular application of antioxidants reduces the effect of environmental aggressors (such as sun exposure and environmental allergens). FAB Antioxidant Booster allows the dermis to maintain its integrity, so that the skin’s immune system can function properly.
What are the benefits of antioxidants? Antioxidants decrease free-radical damage generated by sun exposure and environmental allergens. The reduction of free-radical damage results in less skin inflammation and photoaging. Numerous studies have shown that decreased free-radical damage means stronger, healthier collagen. With more robust collagen within the dermis, you’ll notice less sagging and firmer skin.
Will the concentrated antioxidants interfere with any of my other products/medications? No. These products can be used with any other skincare product and are also compatible with all topical prescription medicines.
So many dermatologists recommend Cetaphil as the cleanser of choice for sensitive skin, what advantages do FAB’s Face Cleanser offer? Cetaphil contains ingredients that are known skin irritants and/or that score poorly on the Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep Cosmetic Safety Database. Parabens, propylene glycol and sodium lauryl sulfate are all examples of ingredients with a questionable safety record. Our Face Cleanser avoids these as well as any other ingredient with a questionable record of safety. In addition, FAB Face Cleanser includes our special antioxidant blend to combat free radicals as it cleanses. And one more thing, in contrast to Cetaphil, we have added luxury to the mix: FAB Face Cleanser has a beautiful whipped texture that transforms into a silky cream when blended with water.
Why doesn’t the FAB Face Cleanser lather more? We’ve gone to great lengths to remove unnecessary irritants from the FAB product line. Our Face Cleansers only create a slight lather, but is still incredibly effective. It will remove dirt, grime, and makeup while leaving your skin feeling soft and smooth.
Should I use the Face Cleanser once or twice a day? We generally recommend twice daily: In the morning to remove loose epidermis and at night to cleanse makeup, oil build-up, and dirt.
How much do I use? A dime-sized amount is perfect for the face.
Is the Face Cleanser pH balanced? The pH is just slightly acidic, around 6.5, the same as the skin's pH! We want to cleanse without changing your skin’s natural acidity.
Will the Face Cleanser sting if it gets in my eyes? The cleanser is exceptionally gentle, but you might experience slight stinging if exposed directly to eyes. Simply flush with water and any irritation will improve after a few minutes.
I suffer from a dermatologic condition that my dermatologist is treating with prescriptive medications on my face. Is there any interaction between the Face Cleanser and what I’m using? Our Face Cleanser was designed to complement any prescriptive regimen. It is designed to be non-irritating and hypoallergenic, so that any topical medication applied to your face can do its thing without interference from a harsh soap that may cause further trouble. Individuals with eczema and other dermatoses are often counseled to use “non-soap cleansers without colors or fragrances” and that’s just what FAB Face Cleanser delivers.
What is FAB’s Ultra Repair Cream? Ultra Repair Cream is FAB’s thickest, richest, most emollient product. It is designed to provide the utmost protection and healing for very dry areas. The cream contains two high-powered emollients, shea butter and colloidal oatmeal. Colloidal oatmeal is the only FDA-approved ingredient approved for eczema/atopic dermatitis. Not only does our Ultra Repair Cream hydrate down deep with exceptional penetration, it also provides improved barrier protection for people who suffer from eczema or the ravishes of harsh climates.
How does FAB Ultra Repair Cream Compare to Eucerin and Aquaphor, two products that are frequently recommended by dermatologists to address eczema and dry, scaly skin conditions? Thick, petroleum based moisturizers have been around for hundreds of years and no one has changed the formula! Dermatologic science has emerged to support the role of ceramides, a naturally occurring lipid on the skin's surface, as a superior "humectant" (hydrator) to this sticky, greasy alternative. Over the last several years, dermatologists have acknowledged this new technology by recommending ceramide-based moisturizers with overwhelming frequency. At FAB, we don't set out to put other products down, but we are pretty excited about using the very best in skin science to keep your skin hydrated and healthy.
Can I use the Ultra Repair Cream on my face? The Ultra Repair Cream is an effective facial moisturizer for anyone with very dry skin and can be used over extended periods of time just like any other rich facial moisturizer.
I use prescription strength Retin A cream that makes my face flakey, can the Ultra Repair Cream help? Using our Ultra Repair Cream in combination with Retin A treatments will certainly help eliminate the flakiness without interfering with the absorption of the Retain A. We suggest mixing the two creams and smoothing it over the entire facial area.
What other conditions does the Ultra Repair Cream specifically treat? The Ultra Repair Cream is our most unique product in terms of its broad range of applications. This item was designed to powerfully deliver hydration deep into the dermis. A common theme that many dermatoses share is the excessive loss of water from the skin’s surface resulting in dehydration of the skin. Psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, irritant eczema, allergic eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, keratosis pilaris – all of these inflammatory dermatosis begin with excessive water loss. The Ultra Reapair Cream returns moisture to the skin, so that healing can begin. If you have a mild case of any of the conditions listed above, the Ultra Repair Cream may be all you need, without a prescription! Even after your dermatologist’s treatment either with a medication or an in-office procedure, the Ultra Repair Cream is ideal for moisture retention and maintenance.
Why do I have dark, puffy circles under my eyes? Undereye skin is the thinnest on the body, so it is the most susceptible to photodamage, gravity, and fat atrophy that naturally occurs as we age. As this tissue below the eye thins, blood vessels become more prominent, imparting a bluish discoloration. This bluish color can make our eye sockets appear sunken or sullen. Look closer…because the skin here is so paper thin, sun damage (brownish pigment) often develops quickly. So we’ve packed our Detox Eye Roller with licorice root, nature’s most powerful lightener. Temporary puffiness can also be caused by factors such as a lack of sleep and dehydration.
Is FAB’s Detox Eye Roller product right for me to correct this issue? FAB’s Detox Eye Roller contains caffeine, a potent vasoconstrictor. Applying this product to the skin’s surface helps constrict fine blood vessels that impart a bluish discoloration to the under eye skin. By constricting these superficial capillaries, we can decrease unsightly blue color of the skin. Then hyaluronate in the formula attracts hundreds of times its weight in water to recapture lost volume in this dynamic area. While attacking bluish discoloration, we need to also protect very delicate skin. That’s where soothing witch-hazel comes in. Soothes as it corrects!
How can caffeine, applied just to the surface of the skin, act a vasoconstrictor? Bisabolol and glycerin allow our potent caffeine concentration to reach down to the microvasculature of the superficial dermis. The papillary or upper dermis contains a high blood:tissue ratio, so it is acutely sensitive to any vaso-active ingredients in the area. Once these tiny vessels have constricted, red eases and the skin assumes its normal flesh color.
Why a roller ball with the Detox Eye Roller? This is such a specialized area of tissue that we needed a delivery system that would stay put. Our roller ball is not only antiseptic but it also enables you to get results right where you want them. The delivery roller ball itself helps gently distribute lymphatic buildup from underneath the eyes, resulting in less baggy, saggy looking skin.
How often should I use the Detox Eye Roller? We recommend twice daily use, in the AM and PM before bed, allowing the caffeine to work on non-engorged undereye vessels. However, the Detox Eye Roller can be used safely throughout the day to sooth tired eyes.
How long will it take before I see the results? The results are immediate. Within minutes, you’ll notice a hydrated dermis that looks and feels healthier and fresher. Over time, these results will compound and become even more dramatic. For most, peak improvement is reached after daily use for about one month.
Why do I feel my skin tingle when I apply the Detox Eye Roller? No need for alarm! Some people are especially sensitive to the powerful actives in the product, such as caffeine, which can produce a tingling sensation upon application.
Do I need to use an eye cream along with the Detox Eye Roller? Not unless you feel you need the additional hydration. Our Eye Roller is a multi-tasker that restores volume, diminishes fine lines, and lightens and brightens the undereye area. However, if you do use an eye cream, make sure to apply the Detox Eye Roller first.
Why do I have facial redness? There are several conditions that can produce facial redness. One of the most common is rosacea, a condition that affects facial skin and has a strong familial link. Individuals with rosacea often note excess facial flushing with alcoholic drinks or spicy foods. Its appearance can range from facial redness to red bumps and small pustules on the surface of the skin. Some individuals just have a reddish complexion without carrying the diagnosis of rosacea. For example, “ruddy” complexion is indicative of small blood vessels near the surface of the skin and tends to run in families. In addition, people with sensitive or excessively dry skin may experience facial redness due to temporary or chronic irritation.
How does the FAB Anti-Redness Serum work? FAB Anti-Redness Serum is packed with caffeine, a natural vasoconstrictor that can help with visible skin redness. By shrinking blood vessels, FAB Anti-Redness Serum improves unsightly redness in the dermis. Colloidal sulfur in the formula works to combat the root cause of many types of redness. Aloe soothes while ginger works as a natural, powerful anti-inflammatory. Bisabolol is an exceptionally gentle anti-inflammatory that aids penetration of our formula’s actives.
Will FAB Anti-Redness Serum eliminate my facial redness? As explained above, the ingredients in FAB Anti-Redness Serum are designed to help combat redness from several different angles. Using the Anti-Redness Serum may solve your skin problem. Caffeine, ginger, aloe and bisabolol all work in unity to soften the appearance of red skin. However, rosacea is a challenging medical condition that often requires medical attention, such as laser therapy, to treat effectively.
What about menopausal women who experience facial redness due to hot flashes? Will the Anti-Redness Serum work here? “Hot flashes” experienced by post-menopausal women are believed to result when the hypothalamus (a centralized part of the brain responsible for regulating body temperature) is inappropriately triggered due to low circulating estrogen levels. The result of this stimulus is to initiate one of the body’s “cool down” processes, namely, dilating blood vessels in the skin to allow them to radiate off heat. Voila, a hot flash! Our caffeinated Anti-Redness Serum will help surface blood vessels shrink back down to their normal size, easing hot flash symptoms. Once these vessels are no longer dilated, the sensation of flushing eases, and concentrated aloe can then soothe any inflamed facial skin.
How can caffeine, applied just to the surface of the skin, act a vasoconstrictor? Bisabolol and glycerin allow our potent caffeine concentration to reach down to the microvasculature of the superficial dermis. The papillary or upper dermis contains a high blood:tissue ratio, so it is acutely sensitive to any vaso-active ingredients in the area. Once these tiny vessels have constricted, red eases and the skin assumes its normal flesh color.
How often and when should I use the FAB Anti-Redness Serum? FAB Anti-Redness Serum is best used twice daily, after washing with the FAB Face Cleanser. Removing any impurities and make-up from the surface of your facial skin will allow the serum to get straight to work!
Will it prevent redness or should I only use it when I have visible signs of redness on my face? FAB Anti-Redness Serum is designed as treatment for reddish skin; however, it also contains powerful preventative agents for individuals who suffer from chronic redness.
Is this product fragrance free? FAB products are 100% fragrance free. No fragrances or potentially irritating masking agents have been added.
Can this help heal eczema? Every eczema routine should begin with hydrating the skin. FAB Daily Face Cream provides much needed moisture to the dermis. For targeted eczema therapy try FAB Ultra Repair Cream, specifically formulated with colloidal oatmeal, the only over-the counter ingredient approved by the FDA for the treatment of eczema.
Will this cream protect me from the sun? The Daily Face Cream does not contain SPF. If you're looking for SPF, try our 5 in 1 Face Cream w/ SPF 30!
Does this product contain your FAB Antioxidant Booster? It sure does! The primary purpose of FAB Antioxidant Booster is to supply the skin with a selection of effective and potent antioxidants. The regular application of antioxidants reduces the effect of environmental aggressors (such as sun exposure and environmental allergens). Our blend contains licorice root, feverfew, and white tea extracts, among the most powerful naturally-occurring antioxidants out there on the market. Not only has licorice root shown great promise as a powerful anti-oxidant, but this agent will also help homogenize the irregular pigmentation of facial skin.
My skin regimen is pretty complete. Why do I need to add the 5 In 1 Face Cream with SPF 30? The 5-in-1 Face Cream with SPF 30 is a multi-action moisturizer. We’ve packed 5 actions into 1 face cream to simplify your life and keep your skin young and vibrant: 1) UV Protection 2) UV Reversal 3) Photo-lightening 4) Anti-pathogen and 5) Antioxidant. 5-in-1 Face Cream protects and replenishes your facial skin before starting a day that’s fraught with ultraviolet radiation, harmful environmental toxins, attacking bacteria and viruses, and innumerable topical irritants and allergens. It’s a jungle out there and the 5-in-1 Face Cream with SPF 30 is your best defense!
What makes the 5-in-1 Face Cream with SPF 30 different from other daily use protects on the market? Zinc Oxide: Provides exceptional SPF 30 with every application to help prevent photo-aging without irritating the skin. Bisabolol: An incredibly mild, yet potent ingredient included for its soothing anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce redness. Alpha Arbutin: The most powerful botanical agent to protect skin from darkening after UV exposure, it targets freckles and sun damage to lighten and homogenize facial skin color. Phyllanthus Emblica Fruit Extract: Helps protect the skin’s surface against commonly found viral and bacterial agents. Licorice, Feverfew and White Tea: FAB Antioxidant Booster helps protect the skin against free radical damage, resulting in stronger, healthier collagen and firmer looking skin. Homeostatine (Enteromorpha Compressa Extract & Caesalpinia Spinosa Gum): This powerful botanical blend protects younger collagen fibers from unwinding and becoming brittle.
How can I be sure all of the 5-in-1 Face Cream with SPF 30’s active ingredients are being delivered deep into my skin? A product is only as good as its delivery system. There’s no point in revolutionizing skin care if our active ingredients can’t penetrate down to enrich the dermis. At FAB, we’ve used a patented dispersion technology for our 5-in-1 Face Cream with SPF 30 to allow for penetration without the use of surfactants and potential irritants. Our dispersion technology uses a high-pressure air system to ensure that not only is our product consistent with every pump, but also that all of its important actives make it down to your dermis to hydrate and replenish.
