About Your Regimen
Co| Id Dooo'
Id Clarifying System for Men and Women features unique formula-
tions of the impressive Beta Hydroxy Acid, Salicylic Acid, and other
bump-banishing active ingredients to effectively treat acne on the
face, chest, back, arms, and body, as well as sweat acne, shaving,
waxing, or plucking bumps, and other forms of folliculitis. Plus,
Id products are uniquely, refreshingly multi-tasking: each product
delivers multiple benefts. So, even if youre a gal on the go or a guy
who cant (or wont) spend lots of time on a regimen, Id can still get
all your skin jobs done right: effectively, quickly, effciently.
Co|u|c|vo |o|uo,
Each Id product is specifcally formulated to enhance each others
action for integrated, synergistic therapy that effectively addresses a
wide spectrum of types of acne and folliculitis.
`ou| u|uo|ou |ouuo|
Your Regimen is designed to take full advantage of this conjunctive
therapy for:
Effective treatment of multiple forms of acne on the face, chest,
back, arms, and body.
Effective treatment and control of sweat acne (pityrosporum
folliculitis) uniformly-sized bumps without heads that are
not as infamed as normal pimples, but that appear en masse,
almost like a rash, and often leaving ugly dark marks (more
obvious on dark or tanned skin).
Reduction and prevention of bumps from shaving, waxing, or
plucking the face, arms, or legs.
Disinfection and shine control. Deep, pore-scouring cleaning.
Regular, sustained use over several years gives you the best returns
on your Id skinvestment.

Clinically Proven, Evidence-Based
`ou| |ouuo|s \u|u|,
At 4 weeks of regular use, subjects noted a 10% decrease in Acne (blackheads,
whiteheads, pimples), Ingrown Hair, Bumps, Chicken Skin, and other forms of
folliculitis. At 8 weeks, the improvement was 50%, and at 12 weeks, 80%.
Id is popular because of its effcacy in clearing multiple forms of acne and fol-
liculitis, but also because of its surprising versatility: Id products are true multi-
taskers, most working for the face and body, and each fulflling multiple func-
tions and treating a myriad of skin problems on its own. For example, in addition
to effective acne therapy, an award-winning study done with 70-year-old subjects
showed Ids effcacy in lessening the appearance of wrinkles, and signifcantly
softening even very rough patches of skin.
Id Sweat Acne, Overall Antibacterial Monolaurin Gel is a stellar example: in a
published study, this simple gel proved as effective as 70% isopropyl alcohol in
killing all of the most common germs and microbes picked up in a busy hospital
environment. But, unlike alcohol or alcohol-based sanitisers which can dry and
irritate skin, Id Gel actually moisturised and comforted skin.
In clinical studies on sweat acne (pityrosporum folliculitis, or PT), Id Monolaurin
Gel had a success rate of 100% (as good as the most popular an t i - fungals for PF, but
far gentler on the skin to allow long-term use).
Another award-winning study shows Id Gel clearing all the top bacteria cultured
from superfcial skin infections. This was comparable t o or better than the results of
traditional antibiotics (which were not as consistent).

IMPORTANT
Go slow. Rushing your usage could lead to irritations (such as a
feeling of tightness or redness, and the possibility of post-infam-
matory hyperpigmentation). If you experience this, youll have to
stop all skin products for at least 7 days and re-start your therapy
at the very beginning.
Many people get to 2x-a-day usage around the 35th day; some get
there earlier, some later, and others never do. Go at your own pace.
PACING TIP: If the Toner stings slightly, wait a few days before
using it again. If it no longer stings, apply it again the next day. If
it stings then, wait a few days. Repeat until no stinging is felt, and
you can use the Toner daily.
Step 1: Cleanse R AM R PM
Product Id Skin-Buffng Pumice and Salicylic Facial Cleanser, or
Id Gentle Facial Cleanser and Shaving Crme*
*The Facial Cleanser and Shaving Crme is a buttery crme that
delivers a rich, gentle glide and ultra-close shave.
Function
Washes away surface dirt and debris. Gives a superbly supple,
bump-free shave. pH-adjusted for comfort throughout therapy.
Directions
Gently massage onto water-splashed face. Rinse. Do not rub
harshly or scrub any one area of skin for longer than 1 to 2 sec-
onds. A light massage is all you need. Shaving Crme: smear on
with hands or a shaving brush. Shave as normal.
pH Levels
The Id systems pH level is quite low. Your skin easily adjusts to
this. But if you use a low-ph product for treatment and a high pH
product to cleanse, your skin has to work hard to adjust be-
tween both extremes. This cleanser is pH-adjusted to keep skin
comfortable throughout active therapy.
For body cleansing, use
Id Buff-Buff Apricot + Salicylic Clarifying Soap.
Step 2: Tone-&-Treat R SLOWLY increase until 2x-a-day

S|INSPECTION
Pay attention to your skins
behaviour throughout therapy.
\|u|s |o|uu|
If youre new to Id, you may
experience an initial acne breakout
at the start of therapy. Why?
Id works by deeply scouring the
pores inner walls. If your pores
have not been cleaned in this way,
Ids frst cleaning brings existing dirt
and debris to the surface for disposal.
Continued Id therapy maintains your
pores deep-cleaned state, and greatly
reduces the occurrence of acne.
This reaction is normal and initial,
and disappears with correct use. It
is therefore important to ...
Follow all instructions carefully.
Practice prevention (see p.7).
\|u|s |o| |o|uu|
Severe redness that doesnt
disappear even with proper use,
Visible peeling or faking,
Skin discolourations,
A feeling of severe tightness,
If you experience an abnormal
reaction, immediately:
Discontinue all products
applied on skin for 7 days (Id,
other cleansers, moisturisers,
makeup, everything),
Use pure mineral oil or virgin
coconut oil to cleanse, and
Consult a dermatologist, get

a patch test, and do not apply
anything on your skin until s/he
says that you may do so.
Why may abnormal reactions occur?
Some common possible causes are:
Improper use of Id,
Use of non-VMV products.
We at VMV believe in hypoaller-
genicity as a lifestyle: we promise
safe skin, which is happy, healthy,
gorgeous skin; everything we do
fulfls this promise.
If you use Id but also use non-
VMV products (that may contain
comedogens or allergens) for your
other skin or cosmetic needs,
those products could cross-react
with Id and your skin may suffer
in ways we cannot predict.
VMV products contain none
or the least amount possible of
known cosmetic allergens. But,
as we are all unique, some people
are sensitive to ingredients to
which no one else is so, you
may be sensitive to an ingredient
in Id that is not an allergen.
If this is the case, you would
have reacted to Id within the frst
few hours of use, and can return
your VMV product (read our
policy on returns and exchanges
for details).
If you are sensitive to something
no one else is, we can still help:
by customising your product based
on your patch test results. For more
information, visit us online and
Ask VMV.

o| `ou| S||s Hou|||'
As with any medical or health
concern, prevention is as vital as
therapy. Your regimen wont matter
much if you keep using products that
work against it. So, always look for
non-comedogenicity and validated
(proven) hypoallergenicity in all
your personal care products.
Why all personal care products?
Because even products not associated
with skin can cause or worsen skin
problems. For example, comedogens
in some hair care can trickle down
the skin and clog pores (this may
result in back, neck, forehead, or
cheek acne). Some oral-care products
contain halogens which can cause
acne or rashes around the mouth and
chin (peri-oral contact dermatitis).
Soaps, powders, or antiperspirants
with fragrance can cause rashes,
darkening, or bumps ... or can irritate
pores, clogging them up.
Many allergens are also photo-
allergens (they react with light to
darken skin). And even simple
zits can leave dark spots (post-
infammatory hyperpigmentation)
which can be diffcult to treat.
All VMV products from Body +
Bath to makeup help you prevent
skin problems, and work with (not
against) your Anti-Acne Regimen.
|o VMV |/CHTEST

Before using anything new on your
skin, do The VMV Patch Test
TM
,
especially if you have a history of
skin sensitivity.
STEP 1: Spread a pea-sized dot of
product on a small patch of skin (like
the underside of the elbow or wrist).
STEP 2: If your skin shows redness
or a temporary discolouration, or
itches, burns, or has other sensations
not indicated to be normal (like the
initial subtle redness or stinging
from an active ingredient), use a
damp towel to wipe off the product
and do not purchase it.
STEP 3: Choose products that do
not cause adverse reactions in your
skin. If you are very allergic, get a
full patch test at a dermatologists
clinic (make sure your dermatologist
has completed a proper residency
program and is boarded with your
countrys offcial dermatology
organisation), or Ask VMV to
customise a product for you.
