FAQs

12.- Are their any contradictions in the use of Elicina with other cosmetics?

The only thing we would strongly rccomend is not to use any other cream that contains Glycolic Acid for it will cause an over-exfoliation that can be harmful for any type of skin if it is not performed by a specialized dermatologist.

13.- Will I get skin spots if I expose myself to sunlight?

No.  Elicina has that great quality, it contains Glycolic Acid in percentages given by nature, enough to be efficient but not too much to spot your skin if exposed t sunlight. Further more it is accompanied by a great skin regenerator that is also present in natural form called Allantoin. The quick regeneration of skin tissue limits the possibilities of this to spot if exposed to sunlight.
The skin spots when this regeneration is slow, like the natural regeneration of our skin tissues that we all have. This natural regeneration begins to slow down and looses strength as years go by just as we loose Collagen and Elastin.
Well, Elicina offers our skin all these properties that we are loosing accelerating these natural processes.
This same way Elicina also helps fighting spots caused by pregnancy and old age.

14.- Will Elicina help me diminish wrinkles?

Yes. Elicina helps reduce and improve wrinkles thanks to its great regenerative capacity, exfoliation and natural nutrition that the snail extract has. (Elicina contains 80% of snail extract).
It is important to remember that our face is the part of the body with the most delicate skin there for you must not apply the cream more than twice a day. Prepare your complexion before every application of Elicina with a good cleansing and facial tonic according to your type of skin. If your skin is dry we suggest you read point 5 of this FAQs page.
During the first month you should see results with expression lines and wrinkles.

15.- I have flat warts on my face, will Elicina help me eliminate them?

Yes. This has been the farmer’s method and very ancient way to eliminate warts. Long time ago Chilean farmers would put live snails on their warts so that these would disappear.
Well, in time, with technological advances and our discovery we have been able to take this active principal (the extract) to a higher level, a cosmetological cream based on snail extract, free of bacteria and dermatologically tested. Just apply Elicina over the wart(s) or over a whole area like the face for example, twice a day in small amount and you will see results in a short period of time.

16.- I have sensitive skin, I’ve been using Elicina for a week and my skin is blemished, flaked and irritated, what is this due to?

People that are known to have sensitive skin could have this reaction. It is the response of the skin to the powerful natural exfoliant agent contained in Elicina called Glycolic Acid. It is also important to mention that if a person with sensitive skin applies the cream with no restriction on the amount and frequency, specially in the area of the face, without taking into consideration more delicate parts of this area like for example the eyelids, could ignite a violent reaction. For sensitive and dry skins we have launched our new product ELICINA PLUS.
It is advised first to clean the face of all impurity with simple water and neutral soap. The general rule is to use Elicina Plus twice a day (am/pm) but in case of very sensitive skins we advise to apply only once a day. In case of an extreme sensitivity to Elicina products, where discomfort persists, you must discontinue the use of this product for you may be allergic to Elicinas’ active principal. (read point 9)

17.- I have dark spots on my hands and I’ve been using Elicina for the past 3 weeks and I still can’t see results, what am I doing wrong?

You must have very present that if you use Elicina specifically on dark spots on your hands, two applications of Elicina a day will not be enough, you must apply Elicina every time after you wash your hands in order for it to be in constant contact and have time to produce its effect.
This could increase the applications to 4 or 5 times a day, in this specific case there would not be a problem.

18.- When I use Elicina on my face for an acne lesion I can see big pimples form, why is this?

IThe effects of the natural antibiotics present in the cream can many times gather a lot of impurities captured underneath the skin and gather them all in one place in order to liberate it afterwards with the help of the exfoliant agent present in the cream.You must be aware that this may happen after a couple of applications in the beginning.  In the even that this persists (after a week or so) and finally does not disappear like above mentioned, discontinue its use and consult your physician.
