You leave your HydraFacial or microneedling appointment glowing. But what happens in the weeks before your next visit? At GLOW, we believe your at-home routine should work as hard as the treatments we perform in-clinic, which is why we're introducing CO2Lift® Carboxy Skin Mousse, made in Japan, to our shelves this September.

What is carboxytherapy, and why does it matter at home? Carboxytherapy is a technique used in-clinic to boost circulation and oxygenation in the skin — the same principle behind our CO2 Lift Pro Mask. CO2Lift® Mousse uses a carboxytherapy-inspired CO2 delivery system to bring that oxygenating, circulation-boosting benefit into a daily step you can do at home. Flooding the skin with oxygen creates an environment where acne-causing bacteria struggle to survive; making this a genuinely useful option for clients who deal with occasional breakouts, without reaching for harsh or drying treatments. It also improves how well every other product in your routine absorbs and performs.

What's actually in it

  • Oxygenation: a carboxytherapy-inspired CO2 delivery system

  • Brightening: three types of Vitamin C and four skin-brightening compounds, to visibly brighten and help fade the look of pigmentation and free-radical damage

  • Gentle daily resurfacing: glycolic and salicylic acid, plus retinol, to decongest pores and smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles

  • Calming: 26 plant extracts, including centella asiatica, chamomile, and licorice root, to calm visible redness and irritation

  • Hydration & barrier support: hyaluronic acid, squalane, glycerin, and regenerative actives

  • Antimicrobial support: silver and platinum — helpful for reactive or breakout-prone skin

How to use it Cleanse first. Apply 1–2 pumps to clean, dry skin. Massage in upward, circular motions into face, neck, or targeted areas. Let it fully absorb, no rinsing. Layer it over serums, and use it as your final step before SPF in the morning, and/or in the evening. New to actives? Ease in with once-daily use before building to twice daily.

Who it's for A great fit for clients managing occasional breakouts, redness, or uneven tone, clients maintaining results between resurfacing or hydration-focused facials, and anyone who wants skin longevity support without adding steps to their routine.

Some brands you carry for a season. Others you keep circling back to. Environ is the second kind — a line we've trusted for years, and one our clients have never really stopped asking about. Starting September 1, it's back on our shelves, in spa and online.

The Cleansing Lotion Our milky/creamy cleanser is the gentlest way to start and end the day — a cream formula (built around jojoba seed oil and olive-derived emulsifiers) that lifts away makeup and daily impurities without the tight, stripped feeling a gel or foaming cleanser can leave behind. It's especially suited to normal, dry, and sensitive skin, and it's the only cleanser in this format on our shelf. Massage onto damp skin, morning and evening, and follow with toner.

The Moisturizing Toner This one does more than a typical toner. Alongside niacinamide (vitamin B3) and a mild lactate for gentle exfoliation, it's infused with a blend of botanical extracts — sage, yarrow, chamomile, rosemary, and honeybush among them — that help hydrate and refine the look of skin tone. Think of it as the step that preps skin to get the most out of everything that follows, especially the vitamin A moisturizer.

The Vitamin A Step-Up System Most people's first experience with vitamin A skincare is the same story: a strong new product, a week of excitement, and then redness, flaking, and a bottle pushed to the back of a drawer. It's not that vitamin A doesn't work. Vitamin A is one of the most researched ingredients in skincare — it supports skin's natural cell renewal, helps maintain a healthy moisture balance, supports collagen and elastin production, and helps even out the look of skin tone and texture over time. The problem is almost always pace.

Environ's answer is AVST 1 through 5 — five vitamin A moisturisers that build in strength and technology one step at a time, rather than asking skin to adjust to everything at once:

  • AVST 1 & 2 — introductory and medium strength, built around Retinyl Palmitate with vitamin C, E, and antioxidant botanicals (green tea, rooibos, honeybush, resveratrol).

  • AVST 3 — a moderately high strength that introduces a peptide (Matrixyl® 3000) for the first time.

  • AVST 4 & 5 — high to the highest strength, adding a second form of vitamin A (Retinyl Acetate) alongside Retinyl Palmitate, still paired with the peptide and antioxidant complex.

Every client starts at AVST 1, regardless of age or skin type, and moves up only once skin feels fully comfortable at the current level — typically after 2 to 3 bottles. It's a philosophy Environ holds to closely: vitamin A is considered the cornerstone of their approach to skincare, best replenished daily and built up gradually alongside antioxidants and peptides for visible, long-term results. If you used Environ's ladder with us before, you're welcome to pick up right where you left off; our team can help confirm the right level.

The Revival Masque Our only true AHA-resurfacing mask — a blend of lactic, mandelic, and asiatic acid, sometimes nicknamed a "facelift in a jar" for how it leaves skin looking and feeling. It works two ways: as a 10-to-20-minute treatment (start with twice a week and build up gradually), or as an overnight mask once skin is comfortable with the daily version, applied after your vitamin A moisturizer has had 20 minutes to absorb. Either way, expect smoother, glassy-looking texture and a healthy radiance with regular use.

The Avance Elixir A multi-peptide serum — Matrixyl® 3000, Trylagen®, Matrixyl® Synthé 6®, and Měiritage™ among its key technologies — layered on after toning and before your vitamin A moisturizer. It's an accessible way into peptide-driven, regenerative skincare, supporting a more even, luminous, resilient-looking complexion and helping address the visible look of sun damage, without the price point or protocol commitment of a bigger biotech serum.

If you’ve been on a GLP-1 medication like Ozempic or Wegovy or you’re simply watching the conversation unfold, you may have noticed something unexpected: the weight changes, but the face changes too. Volume shifts. Skin that once felt firm starts to feel softer, looser, less like yours. It even has a name now: GLP-1 face.

It’s not a flaw. It’s biology. And it’s something we can address.

What’s Actually Happening On GLP-1

GLP-1 medications work by reducing appetite and accelerating fat loss. But fat in the face is structural — it supports the cheeks, the under-eye area, and the jawline. When that fat diminishes quickly, the skin above it can’t always keep up. The result is an appearance of hollowness, laxity, or accelerated aging that feels misaligned with how well you’re actually feeling.

On top of volume loss, rapid changes in body composition can affect skin hydration, collagen density, and overall elasticity. The skin is an organ, and it responds to what’s happening internally.


What Restoration Actually Looks Like

Addressing GLP-1 face isn’t about reversing your progress, it’s about bringing your skin back into harmony with the rest of you. At GLOW, we approach this with a protocol built around three goals:

—  Stimulating collagen production to restore structural support from within

—  Improving skin texture, tone, and density so the surface reflects the health underneath

—  Addressing volume loss through treatments that work with your biology, not against it

This typically involves a combination of collagen-induction treatments like microneedling, skin-tightening modalities, and where appropriate, a conversation with our nurse about biostimulating injectables like Sculptra, which builds your own collagen gradually over several months.

The goal is never to look “done.” It’s to look like yourself, rested and restored.


One Conversation Changes Everything

The most important thing we can tell you: this is not a one-size-fits-all situation. Every face is different. Where volume has shifted, how much elasticity remains, what the skin needs most — these are all individual. A complimentary consultation with our team is where we map it out together and build a plan that makes sense for your skin, your goals, and your timeline.

You did something meaningful for your health. Let’s make sure your skin reflects that.
