What is the Basic Five?  The Basic Five is the recommended foundation program of all the Arcona products.  Designed specifically for your skin type, it restores the skin to its natural balance.  Each of the products in the Basic Five work synergistically and are scientifically designed to fulfill a distinct transformational function.  For this reason, we ask that you follow the program as suggested and do not incorporate other skin care products into your regimen for the first 2 - 6 weeks prior to consulting with an Arcona specialist.  After the initial period, continuing to use the Basic Five as part of an advanced daily Arcona skin care program promises even fresher, more glowing and a more contoured, youthful appearance.
