I’m confused as to what Infinitek regimen I would need and the cost here in USA.
I’m 57 have combination skin with melasma spots on sides of face and fine lines around eyes and lips. I am on hormones and Thyroid medication.
Tight on money especially now with COVID-19 and worry about keeping up with the cost of a beauty regimen that will be effective.
