Description
302 Plus Drops by 302 Professional Skincare combines 302/Avogen™, lipidic vitamin C (THDA), naturally derived ceramide 2 and oligiopeptides to create a very rich, instant skin firming and filling, line reducing solution that can be applied daily. You will find this the most elegant of all 302 topical products. The 302/Avogen™ compound contained in 302 Plus Drops provides a significant increase in metabolic energy to the skin through glucose activation – this provides the energy for new protein synthesis. 302/Avogen™ also softens the skin. This is very important in reversing visible aging, smoothing wrinkles and improving tone and texture. They work quickly. The skin may feel warm, and even pink up on the first few applications.
302 Plus Drops should never be applied on the same day as home care products that contain fruit acids (alpha hydroxy acids).
302 Plus Drops is a concentrate and is best spread with Calming Mist or Calming Mist Rx. These mists are green tea hydrators recommended for anytime hydration.
People who have had peels from acids have highly sensitized skin, even if it doesn’t look that way. You will have to wait until you stop using acids and then wait another week or so before use of this product. Remedy Rx and Sensitive Cleanser or Sensitive Cleanser Rx along with Avogen Topical Mist during that transition week (or two) to renormalize skin behavior and prepare the skin for full strength 302/Avogen™.
Not all skin that is inflamed or irritated must avoid the 302/Avogen™ compound. In fact, skin that is irritated from burns or the environment or anything but exfoliating acids will benefit greatly when the 302/Avogen™ compound is applied.
302 Plus Drops CAN be applied to skin that has been burned or irritated, abraded or scraped and CANNOT be provided to skin that has been recently exfoliated using acids or other chemicals
Mechanisms
302 Plus Drops utilizes a multi-target approach to reverse visible aging look:• 302/Avogen™ provides large increases in skin energy through glucose activation, resulting in increased protein synthesis for visible change, with focus on epidermis. • Short chain oligiopeptides provide added stimulation of overall barrier function.• Ceramide 2 rapidly moisturizes skin.• Vitamin C lipid (tetrahexyldecylascorbate) builds dermal barrier.
Esthetic Results
Smooth, resilient, plump skin. Synergistic with Vitamin A (see A-Boost, Clarity).
Choose 302 Plus Drops one morning and Moisturizing Drops the next. Mix 1 pump of either one in the palm of your hand with 3-4 mist sprays of Calming Mist. Rub hands together and apply with light upward strokes to neck and face or desired area. Spread product evenly, massage in thoroughly, gently.
If you feel oily afterwards either too much product was dispensed or, more likely, spreading across the skin has been uneven. Reapply Calming Mist to hands and face and spread further to correct this. A little bit of302 Plus Drops goes a long way.
Precautions
Topical use only. Apply to test area and wait 24 hours. If irritation develops, discontinue. Apply with light upward strokes to neck and face. Do not combine with products containing exfoliating acids such as glycolic, lactic and salicylic acids.

Advisories:
Enzyme and Acid Peels
302 Skincare’s 302 Plus Drops formula is not compatible with skin recently exfoliated with acids. However, very low concentration acid peels may be performed on skin that has used 302 Plus Drops after one month. We recommend 302’s specially formulated enzyme Exfoliator for those insisting on use of a facial peel as 302 Plus Drops users. Acids may cause pronounced irritation, redness and worse. Use very low concentrations (<15%) if alpha hydroxy acids used.
Special note: not for use with products containing acids for homecare over 5% glycolic concentration if 302 Plus Drops are also used. Salicylic and lactic acids are not recommended for home care with 302 Plus Drops. Use of any exfoliating acid with 302 Plus Drops is not recommended and would need to be closely monitored professionally for sensitization and irritation reactions.
Ultrasound
302 Plus Drops is highly effective when used in combination with ultrasound, and the perfect medium for transmitting the sound waves necessary without further need for special conduction gels.
Dermabrasion

Advise not to use on same days as 302 Plus Drops during home care. Use Enzyme Mist for home care exfoliation. Apply Remedy Rx after procedure and for home care.
Fraxel Laser & Laser (pre and post)

Micro-current / the MINI by Clareblend is an excellent choice for home care.
While 302 Plus Drops itself is non-ionic and will have little metabolic activity alone in combination with a micro-current procedure. Micro-current, however, that is used as a facial muscle stimulant is very effective, and with 302 Plus Drops, a noticeable improvement to skin laxity and increased turgor is evident for at least one week after treatment. For better results combine with Ultra Ion Gel a high Ionic conductive gel formulation.
