ABOUT
GlyMed Plus was founded in 1991 by Christine Heathman, a Licensed Master Esthetician, Certified Medical Esthetician, and Licensed Massage Therapist.
The FDA divides skin-care products into two categories: cosmetic and pharmaceutical.
​
Pharmaceutical grade products you apply topically penetrate through the layers of the epidermis and affect the function and structure of the skin. For this reason, pharmaceutical products are held to a much higher standard of purity. Pharmaceutical products undergo rigorous testing that can go on for more than 10 years and cost millions of dollars. Pharmaceutical grade products are only available through a licensed professional. These products not only contain a higher percentage of active ingredients, but a higher quality of each ingredient. According to the FDA, Pharmaceutical grade products are required to be 99% pure, where Cosmetic grade products are only required to be 70% pure. Active ingredients are those that can make a change in your skin such as (reducing wrinkles, pigmentation, alleviate acne, etc.).
GlyMed Plus is a pioneer and industry leader in the field of pharmaceutical skin care products. Our products follow a four-step system to fight the effects of aging, acne, sun damage, pigmentation, rosacea, and other skin conditions. The unique four-step system provides the versatility to your skin care routine.
​
The four steps are:
Cleanse: The first step of the GlyMed Plus system removes oil, dead skin cells, and environmental pollutants and debris, which can form dangerous free radicals in the skin.
Treat: The treatment phase of the GlyMed system provides your skin with active ingredients proven to treat your specific condition to restore, replenish, and revitalize your skin.
Balance: The active ingredients used in GlyMed's Balance products revive your skin's ability to repair and renew naturally giving you a healthy, natural glow.
Protect: The application of protecting ingredients allows your skin to grow and build healthy cells while being shielded from pollutants, debris, and the sun's harmful ultraviolet light rays.
