So I have tried numerous brands of cosmetic skincare, haven’t we all? But which one actually works? I have never used a pharmacy grade skincare range like iS Clinical, which in itself, sounds promising. All of the range use Botanical based, the highest purity cosmetic products can have.
The range is without chemicals or parabens, so you could say very ‘au natural’. You use five products every day, and I trialed this for a total of 6 weeks. The smell of all the products is enough to make you want to bath in them, they have such a fresh and natural smell and the formulas feel lovely to use.
You start with the ‘Cleansing Complex‘ which is the deep cleansing step, do this morning and night. Dampen your face and rub in circular motions. The solution comes out of the bottle as a gel however, as you rub into face it turns almost into a silky foam. This resurfacing cleanser helps to smooth the skin (very beneficial for people who suffer from acne as it’s so gentle), remove makeup and reduce pore size. I actually noticed a difference in my skin in just 4 days, my skin felt like, to put it frankly, a baby’s bottom, and because of this I actually started not wearing makeup during the day.
The ‘Serious’ Serums
In the morning you use two serums before moisturising, which is the Super Serum Advance, and the Hydra Cool Serum. The Super Serum is applied first as this is your daily dose of antioxidants in a bottle; a combination of Vitamin C concentrate to prevent DNA damage on the face, reduce fine lines and is so potent that it effectively treats hyperpigmentation and scar tissue. This was my favourite serum as you only need two or three drops and you can feel a slight tingle when you apply it (in a good way). I also suffer from hyperpigmentation and this is the first thing that actually reduced this which was actually nice to see results from a product so early on.
Secondly, the Hydra-Cool Serum which provides a concentrated amount of antioxidants to penetrate the lower levels of your skin for ultimate hydration. This serum is a great option for oily skin. This I used both in the morning, and in the evening because it gives your skin a dewy and bright look.
In the evening, I was recommended the White Lightening Complex Serum as this is a healthy way to treat hyperpigmentation by reducing the melanin production in the face. A perfect and safe way to even out the skintone good for people with pigmentation concerns. Followed by the Hydra Cool again to give your skin that extra hydration for a super speedy skin cell regeneration overnight.
The best thing about all the serums is that they come in a glass bottle with a pipet top, as you only need a few drops on the face. The appearance of the brand shouts professional, pharmaceutical and most of all the products are potent.
Now moving onto the last two magic moisturisers to go alongside these fantastically light serums, a more simple step.
In the morning, start your day with Extreme Protect SPF Treatment Moisturiser. The most important thing that I have learnt with this brand is how important it is to wear SPF everyday which is a great combination to this morning moisture surge. Due to it being a broad range spectrum UVA and UVB protection, it is clinically proven to prevent DNA damage and repair collagen damage. This cream does come out rather thick due to the strong UV protection so it takes a good 10 minutes to sink in. Nonetheless, works as a great base for makeup and most importantly, prevents sun damage and premature ageing signs like fine lines and wrinkles.
Finally, in the evening after a long day of hard work, you apply the Moisturising Complex after your night time serums. This is a very light but hydrating moisturiser which acts to prevent wrinkles and fine lines, provide an anti-oxidants and hydrates.
Overall, a good product however a bit pricey, but this is due to the purity of all of the ingredients used and it has that extra concentration of ingredients for maximum efficacy and most of all amazing results. Hence, the product range is used by some of the top celebs such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley not because they are paid to use it but because it actually works.
