Directions to Success

Use every second evening

In the evening after moisturising, apply a pea-sized amount to moist skin and massage until absorbed. You may also wish to use The Foundation before moisturising if your skin feels comfortable.

Beginners: Follow the 'ease in' method to introduce a skin cell renewal product properly. Apply twice a week only, for the first two weeks of use, until your skin is comfortable and tolerable for more frequent use (building up to every second evening).

NOTES:

Pregnancy: NOT suitable during pregnancy.

SPF: As retinol works to gently exfoliate and resurface the skin, slight tingling may occur and may increase your skins sensitivity to the sun so apply a broad spectrum SPF daily.

Sensitive skin: If you have sensitive skin, do NOT use a chemical peel (such as Canvas: Resurfacing AHA & BHA Treatment) within 24 hours of using a retinol.

Skin purging: Skin purging occurs when your skin is adjusting to an active ingredient that is beneficially increasing the skin cell renewal rate. You may notice common signs of excess sebum, flakiness and skin build up (causing breakouts) while you're adjusting to the product and your skin cycle is fast-tracked. While breakouts have been brought to the surface by the product, this has not been caused by the product - in fact this is a great sign that the product is working to clear out underlying congestion.

Backed by Science

Did you know that as we age our collagen production slows down? Combine that with exposure to ultraviolet rays and environmental aggressors and our skin is susceptible to dehydration, premature ageing, loss of elasticity, fine lines, sagging and dullness. Therefore it's important to incorporate a collagen stimulating lotion into your routine that's packed with vitamin C and retinol (vitamin A) to support the body's ability to boost collagen production, decrease the appearance of pigmentation, defend against further damage and improve the overall appearance of skin.

Specifically formulated reduce the appearance of pigmentation, smooth the appearance of fine lines and resurface skin for an overall renewed complexion, The Foundation provides the following benefits:

  • Smooth fine lines, reduce the appearance of scarring, pigmentation and breakouts with Retinol (Vitamin A)
    Assists to smooth the appearance of fine lines, reduce the appearance of pigmentation, scarring and the breakouts for a brighter and more even skin tone, and boost collagen production for a plumper, youthful-looking appearance.
  • Revitalise and brighten the appearance of skin with Davidson Plum (Vitamin C)
    Assists to promote elasticity, stimulate collagen, brighten and even out the complexion and overall revitalise the appearance of skin.
  • Nourish with Avocado Oil and Buriti Oil
    A source of beta carotene, protein, lecithin, fatty acids, and vitamins A, D, and E, avocado oil assists to nourish and moisturise skin without leaving an oily residue, while reducing the appearance of redness and breakouts too, fortifies the skin barrier and encourages moisture retention.
  • Plump skin with Hyaluronic Acid
    Hyaluronic acid assists in the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles by retaining moisture within the skin, creating a plumping effect. When the skin is protected and hydrated, increased skin cell production can take place as the skin isn't busy fighting for hydration which helps to leave skin smoother and plumper.

"I’m in my 20s and a huge fan of skincare products and I’ve tried a lot of different brands and by far RAWKANVAS has beat all of them. I started using The Limelight probiotic lotion, Canvas mask and Eternal serum and oh my god my face is so dewy and clear. I have never been this happy about a skincare product! I’ve noticed that all my breakouts have been at bay and my skin looks and feels clear, soothed and fresh."

"I’m in my 50s and have had blemish prone skin for all my adult life. I tried over the years to switch to other products and would ALWAYS breakout and my breakouts would never clear until I went back on the original bleach based product. I decided to try RAWKANVAS and I started to see results in the first couple of days."

"I'm in my 30s and started using RAWKANVAS at the end of September 2019. I have used these products EVERY SINGLE DAY! Everything else I had tried before hadn't worked. With continued use, my skin has settled. I have a lot of scarring on my face from earlier years, but the majority of redness has gone, and I am less prone to breakouts now. So glad I found these products."
