‘Targets and Treats Hyperpigmentation in 5 ways’

This is the proclamation for iS Clinical White Skin Lightening System (Complex and Serum) by Innovative Skin Care. I must say, stumbling across this product was exciting for me. This 2-in-1 treatment has a host of wonderful skin lightening agents and exfoliants all at the correct pH formulation.  Used together, these products offer antioxidant protection, gentle controlled exfoliation, interruption of communication between melanocytes and keratinocytes, as well as inhibiting the production of excess melanin.

Now from the outline it sounds like every other skin lightening treatment out there. But upon further looking into these 2 products, I was pretty impressed by the ingredients and research backing it. 

The first product is the iS Clinical White Lightening Complex. This is an exfoliating, skin lightening antioxidant treatment. It contains a host of extracts like Willow Bark extract, Sugar Cane Extract, Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit/Leaf Extract, Imperata Cylindrica Root Extract, Licorice Extract, Alpha-Arbutin and more.   Again this product is in the correct pH.

Like with most topical antioxidants, the skin is always instantly brighter due to the direct inhibition of tyrosinase.  With the iS Clinical White Lightening Complex, the skin was shown to have a 37% reduction in melanin synthesis in 72 hours. Again this is a common notion, as I find (and many other people) that antioxidants make the skin visibly lighter and overtime keep it that way.

The second product in this system is the iS Clinical White Lightening Serum. This is perfect for oily skin types and is shown to lighten hyperpigmentation in 3 months. Its ingredients are similar to the Lightening Complex however some actives in this one are stronger. The exfoliation from the sugar cane extract provides gentle, controlled sloughing of dead, pigmented skin cells which allows for the active lightening ingredients to penetrate deep within the stratum corneum.

The iS Clinical/Innovative Skin Care Brand is generally sold through consultations with licensed skin care professionals (spas, dermatologists). However if you check out their website, and look under the ‘Buy’ section there is a link to various online retailers that sell their products. An example is Skincarerx, Skinterra, Dermstore and SkinStore.

I highly suggesting checking out the official site for additional information, links to studies proving these 2 products effectiveness etc.
