1. Alford & Hoff: Cleanse

The first step in your skin care regimen is to find a good cleanser. Alford & Hoff's Cleanse is a gel cleanser that foams with water. It's good for all skin types, but might be a bit drying for very dry skin, as gel cleansers typically can be.

Cleanse contains AHA's which gently and evenly exfoliate your skin. By using daily, you'll benefit greatly from regular exfoliation, and you'll notice your skin tone is more even and fine lines are visibly improved. And because the AHA's are included in the cleanser, it's an extra skin care step that you can skip.

Use this cleanser day and night for best results, and continue with Alford & Hoff's Serum and Moisturizer.

2. Alford & Hoff: Microdermabrasion

This microdermabrasion is gentle and extremely effective. You'll get a full 2 ounces of product, which will last a very long time because you only need a pinch for your entire face.

The jar contains diamond-shaped magnesium oxide crystals that leave your face looking smooth, polished and adds a healthy youthful appearance. Simply apply to your face after cleansing, and gently rub your fingers in circles to ensure you get a gentle, even exfoliation.

And like all microdermabrasions, use this no more than two times a week for best results. You'll instantly notice the dry flaky skin cells disappear and your skin will look healthy and younger. Keep this product away from the eye area, which is too delicate for a microdermabrasion.

3. Alford & Hoff: Serum

This is the product that will give the greatest results. Alford & Hoff's Serum contains the brand's "SIR2stac Complex", which combines youth proteins with antioxidant superstars. This combination of ingredients help fight the clock and reverse the signs of aging.

Serum's go deeper into your skin's layers than moisturizers typically can. This is why using a serum can get the hard working ingredients right where you need them, deep down.

Using this product will help smooth out your fine lines, firm your entire face and even out your skin tone. You apply it to your face day and night before your moisturizer. Think of it as your skin's daily dose of vitamins to protect your skin against the damage that is caused by daily elements.

4. Alford & Hoff: Moisturizer

Alford & Hoff's Moisturizer is very light-weight, and won't leave your skin feeling heavy or greasy, a big plus for most men. The texture is almost as thin as their serum, but provides your skin with an extra dose of moisture, which your skin needs after being cleansed.

The Moisturizer also contains their "SIR2stac Complex, which will again fight off the signs of aging. Moisturized skin is you first step to younger looking skin. Fine lines are increased by dry skin, so by using this moisturizer, you can expect immediate results.

This moisturizer is for all skin types and should be used morning and night, after the cleansing and serum application.
