I've had lots of fun reading the forums here and am in my testing stage of Dr. H products.

I've looked around and wonder what products are considered "active"? I use PSF O2 Rescue and it is to be used before and after actives. But, I am confused as to what actives are and if I have any!

My guess: Vit C serum, Copper peptide, DMAE

any others? is my list not correct?

Any comments would be appreciated!

Hi Smoky - they refer to "active ingredients" basically whatever ingredients are in skincare that do the real work.

I know what active ingredients means, just don't know what is considered active.

I would say that you list was right but there are lots more! Very Happy

This website sells lots of actives so you can make DIY skincare so it has a list of lots of differnt actives, their indications & actions.
