Introduction
Dear cherished friends,
As the founder of FACECO in sunny California—and a dedicated dermatologist with over 15 years of experience—I’m excited to share important insights about everyday skincare choices that directly impact your skin’s health and long-term beauty.
Dimethicone: Smooth Finish, Hidden Concerns
One ingredient I frequently discuss with clients is Dimethicone.
This silicone-based ingredient is commonly found in foundation creams, where it creates a smooth texture and matte finish. However, its use in moisturizers raises concerns. By forming a barrier on the skin, Dimethicone may interfere with natural skin processes such as respiration and sebum production. Over time, this can contribute to clogged pores and other skin issues.
Harsh Surfactants in Cleansers: What to Watch For
Another critical area to consider is the type of surfactants used in cleansing products.

While surfactants are essential for removing dirt and oil, not all are gentle or skin-friendly. Harsh surfactants—similar to those used in dishwashing detergents—can damage the skin barrier, leading to inflammation, irritation, and accelerated aging.
Unfortunately, many commercial facial cleansers still contain these aggressive ingredients, including:
- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS)
- Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES)
- Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate
- Alkylbenzene Sulfonate
- Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate
Our Philosophy at FACECO: Clean, Conscious Skincare
At FACECO, your skin’s health and longevity are always our priority. That’s why we advocate for and work with Osmosis products.
These formulations are carefully selected for their clean, thoughtful compositions and are considered safe for pregnant women, nursing mothers, and oncology patients.

Incorporating Osmosis products into your home skincare routine doesn’t just maintain results—it enhances and prolongs the benefits of the professional treatments you receive in our salon.
Together, in-clinic care and mindful at-home products create the foundation for truly healthy, resilient skin.
