iS CLINICAL
NZ Authorised Stockist | Pharmaceutical-Grade & Clinically Proven | Shipping Throughout New Zealand
“iS Clinical is the brand I reach for most consistently - for clients post-treatment, for anyone dealing with pigmentation or acne, and for myself. The pharmaceutical-grade difference is real. I've seen what happens when clients switch from supermarket or department store products to iS Clinical, and the change speaks for itself. It's the skincare I trust most to protect and extend what we achieve in the clinic.
- Caroline Wallace-Hughes, Lucere
Cleansers & Exfoliation
The cleanser that agrees with almost everyone
Most cleansers do one of two things - leave your skin feeling squeaky clean but tight and dry, or feel gentle but like they haven't really done anything. The iS Clinical Cleansing Complex does neither.
This lightweight gel cleanses deeply without stripping. A blend of gentle botanical acids - salicylic acid from white willow bark, AHAs from sugarcane and bilberry - dissolves makeup, unclogs pores, and removes the day without that punished feeling. Your skin feels clean, calm, and genuinely better for it.
With consistent use, most people notice their pores look smaller, breakouts settle, and skin looks brighter and more even. It's the kind of cleanser that quietly does a lot.
Who it suits:
Teens dealing with congestion and breakouts
Anyone getting serious about their skincare routine for the first time
Men who want something simple that actually works
Women in their 40s+ whose skin has become drier or more reactive
Sensitive or easily irritated skin
Anyone who's been using a cleanser that leaves them feeling dry
Sizes: 60ml (great value starter size - lasts longer than you'd expect) and 180ml (the one to buy if you already know you love it)
“For clients of all ages and skin types, and one of the first products I suggest to anyone starting out with iS Clinical.” -Caroline, Lucere
APPLICATION: Moisten face and neck with water. Apply a small amount to the palm of your hand. Massage over face and neck, then rinse thoroughly and pat dry.

The cleanser your skin asks for when it's struggling
There are days when your skin feels tight before you've even cleansed it. When the idea of a foaming gel sounds unkind. That's exactly when I reach for the iS Clinical Cream Cleanser.
I use the Cleansing Complex most of the time - but there are days, especially in winter, when I know within seconds of waking up that my skin needs something else. The Cream Cleanser is that something else. It is rich enough to feel genuinely nourishing, gentle enough to use on the most compromised skin, and thoughtful enough to have been formulated so it can be wiped off without water - useful when travelling! And when your skin is so reactive it resents everything.
Coconut oil and safflower seed oil do the cleansing without stripping. Bionutrients and antioxidants support rather than stress. The result is skin that feels clean but also genuinely hydrated - plump rather than parched, calm rather than tight.
Who it's for:
Perimenopausal and mature skin that has become drier or more reactive
Anyone with a compromised or impaired skin barrier - red, tight, itchy, reactive
Dry winter skin that finds gel or foam cleansers too stripping
Post-procedure skin that needs the most gentle option available
Anyone whose skin runs dry (for oily or blemish-prone skin, the Cleansing Complex is usually the better choice)
Great as a morning cleanse for those who prefer minimal intervention first thing
"On the days my skin is tight and unhappy, this is the only cleanser I want to use. It's also what I'd recommend for perimenopausal skin that has shifted toward dryness. It just quietly looks after whatever state your skin is in." - Caroline, Lucere
APPLICATION: Apply a small amount to hands and fingertips, massage evenly over face and neck. Designed to wipe off with a damp cloth or rinse and pat dry - both work equally well.
Fragrance-free. Paraben-free. Gentle enough for eye makeup removal.

The cleanser that's actually a ritual
The name says cleanser. The experience says something else entirely.
Warming Honey Cleanser is one of those products that changes how you feel about your evening routine. It is 40% raw honey - sustainably sourced - combined with royal jelly, propolis, papaya enzymes, and Japanese green tea extract. The moment it touches your skin, it begins to warm gently and the scent - pure honey, is beautiful. It’s not too sticky either which is a bonus!
It cleanses, yes. But more than that it calms, soothes, and exfoliates so gently that even people who are nervous about exfoliation barely notice it happening. After you rinse it off, your skin feels soft and luminous - not squeaky clean, not tight. Just genuinely well looked after.
Leave it on for five minutes before rinsing and it becomes a proper treatment mask - a small weekly ritual that costs almost nothing in time but delivers noticeably brighter, softer skin.
Who it's for:
Dry, normal, and combination skin types looking for a gentle, luxurious cleanse
Anyone wanting to do a simple, nourishing at-home mask once a week
Blemish-prone or congested skin - the honey has natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties
Anyone whose skin is sensitive to traditional exfoliants but wants refinement without irritation
Skin that needs a sensory reset - the scent and warmth alone are worth it
"This cleanser is used in the Fire & Ice Facial and the one I reach for at home when I want to enjoy my skincare. The scent is beautiful, the warming sensation is genuinely lovely, and your skin afterwards looks like you've had a treatment. I love it." - Caroline, Lucere
APPLICATION: Moisten face. Apply a small amount to hands and fingertips, massage evenly over face and neck, avoiding the immediate eye area. The warming sensation increases with time. After several minutes, rinse thoroughly and pat dry. For a mask treatment, leave on for up to 5 minutes before rinsing.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding safe. Fragrance-free (the scent is entirely from the honey). 120g.

Five minutes. Weekly. That's all it takes.
The iS Clinical Tri-Active Exfoliating Masque is my go-to for skin that has gone a bit dull, flat, or congested - and it delivers every single time. Five minutes on damp skin, rinse off, done. The difference is immediate and obvious.
The name tells you what it does: three types of exfoliation working at once. Papaya and bromelain enzymes dissolve dead skin cells biochemically. Salicylic acid clears out pores and calms blemish-prone skin. And eco-friendly microbeads provide physical polishing without harshness. Brazilian blood orange oil adds antioxidant protection and smells genuinely gorgeous. Copper PCA works on sebum balance and early signs of ageing in the background.
What I love about it: a little goes a long way, it lasts for ages, and you don't need to overthink it. A thin layer on damp skin, left for up to five minutes, then rinse. Reviewers consistently describe skin that looks like it's been polished - smooth, clear, with visibly smaller pores.
I don't overdo it - once a week is right for most people. It's potent enough that more frequent use would be too much.
Who it's for:
Anyone whose skin looks dull, tired, or congested and needs a reset
Normal, combination, and oily skin types comfortable with mild acids
Anyone wanting a simple, effective weekly treatment without a clinic visit
Skin in its 30s, 40s and beyond that has lost some of its natural radiance
People with blemish-prone skin who want pore refinement
"I use this whenever my skin looks like it needs a boost. Five minutes and it comes back to life. It's one of those products that genuinely delivers on what it says - and it lasts so long you'll forget you're even getting through it." - Caroline, Lucere
APPLICATION: Moisten face with water. Apply a thin, even layer and gently rub in a circular motion. Leave for up to 5 minutes to allow the enzymes to work. Rinse with cool water and pat dry. Use once a week.
Not recommended for rosacea-prone or very sensitive skin. Always wear SPF the following morning.

The at-home peel that feels like magic
The iS Clinical Active Peel System is not just a product, it’s an experience! Do it half an hour before bed and wake up to skin that looks like glass - brighter, smoother, tighter, genuinely transformed. Reviewers describe waking up to compliments, asking if they'd had Botox, if they'd just had a facial. All from a two-step treatment they did at home in ten minutes.
This is a box of 15 professional-grade peel treatments. Each one is a two-step process: Step 1 is an active botanical acid peel - salicylic acid, mixed fruit acids, sugarcane AHAs - that exfoliates, unclogs and resurfaces with a cool tingling sensation. Step 2 neutralises the peel and floods skin with hydration, copper peptides, and iS Clinical's Extremozyme technology. You don't rinse either step off. You just go to sleep and let it work.
At Lucere we think of it as a mini Fire & Ice Facial in a box. The Fire & Ice is the only facial treatment I offer at Lucere - a professional resurfacing facial that delivers dramatic results. The Active Peel System captures that same resurfacing magic at home, for days when you don’t have the time for a full facial appointment, and at a fraction of the cost of a professional peel.
15 treatments per box - that's a month of glowing skin if used every other night, or up to three months if used weekly. I’ve also heard of people cutting the towelettes in half to get double the treatments out of a box (haven’t tried it myself but I could see that working).
Who it's for:
Anyone who wants professional peel results at home
The night before a wedding, special event, or big occasion
Brides - seriously, every bride needs one of these the night before
Women 35+ wanting to address dullness, uneven texture, and early ageing
Anyone who can't always get to a clinic but wants to maintain their results
Skin that looks dull, congested, or tired
Note: Best for normal, combination, and oily skin types comfortable with acids. Not recommended for rosacea, eczema, or very sensitive skin. If you're new to chemical exfoliation, start once a week and build from there. Always wear SPF the morning after.
"This is the celebrity of the iS Clinical range as far as I'm concerned. I do one the night before anything important and the results genuinely feel like magic - when I don't have time for a facial, this is just as good if not better. Every bride should have one the night before her wedding." - Caroline, Lucere
APPLICATION: After cleansing, unfold Step 1 pad and apply over face and neck. Leave on for 3 minutes - do not rinse. Apply Step 2 pad over same area and leave on overnight. Use in the evening. Always wear SPF the following morning.

Serums
The serum your skin reaches for when it needs a drink
The iS Clinical Hydra-Cool Serum is the quiet one in the lineup - no dramatic tingling, no active acids, no transformation promises. Just immediate, genuine hydration and calm, every single time. It absorbs instantly - a lightweight blue gel that melts into skin in seconds, leaving it cool, plump, and settled. Reviews describe it as "a chill pill for angry skin" and that's exactly right. Whatever state your skin is in - post-treatment, sun-stressed, dehydrated, reactive, or just having a bad day - this brings it back.
The formula is simple but technically precise. Rather than a generic centella extract, iS Clinical isolates the three key active compounds individually - asiaticoside, asiatic acid, and madecassic acid - alongside hyaluronic acid and Vitamin B5. Targeted calming and hydration.
Who it's for:
Anyone whose skin runs dry, reactive, or sensitive
Post-treatment skin - after laser, microneedling, peels, or extractions
Men post-shaving - the cooling effect is immediately satisfying
Skin in its 40s+ that has lost some of its natural moisture retention
Anyone using actives like retinol or AHAs who needs a calming buffer
Summer skin that just needs hydration without heaviness
Anyone getting serious about skin health without wanting drama
Great for travel - helps replenish the dehydrating effects of air travel
How to use it:
Apply to dry or damp skin for best results. A few drops go a long way - it comes out fast so less is more. Use alone on oilier skin types, or layer under your moisturiser in winter. Can be used morning and night, or any time skin feels stressed.
"This is the one I recommend post-treatment and for anyone whose skin is feeling overwhelmed. It's also brilliant for men - the cooling effect after shaving is genuinely lovely. Understated but essential." - Caroline, Lucere
APPLICATION: Apply 2-3 drops to dry or damp skin. Smooth over face and neck. Follow with moisturiser if needed. Can be used morning, night, or both.

Vitamin C for the eye area - done properly
The skin around the eye is thinner and more permeable than the rest of the face, which means it needs its actives calibrated differently. The iS Clinical C Eye Serum Advance+ uses 7.5% time-released L-ascorbic acid - the right concentration for periorbital skin - combined with copper tripeptide-1, hyaluronic acid, and zinc sulfate in a formula so deliberately minimal it has just ten ingredients.
That minimalism is the point. The eye area is where reactions happen and where unnecessary ingredients accumulate. Every ingredient in this serum has a clear job: the vitamin C brightens dark circles and supports collagen. Copper tripeptide-1 is clinically proven to diminish fine lines and visibly reduce crow's feet over time. Sodium hyaluronate hydrates deeply. Zinc sulfate reduces puffiness and provides photoprotection. Mushroom extract supports the barrier and calms inflammation.
The texture is almost water-light - it absorbs instantly, works seamlessly under eye cream or concealer, and doesn't migrate. One tiny drop covers both eyes. Reviewers describe it as genuinely brightening under the eyes within weeks, with consistent improvement in fine lines and puffiness over months. One reviewer noted it also strengthens lashes - an unexpected but welcome bonus from the copper peptide.
Who it's for:
Anyone with dark circles wanting a vitamin C-based approach to brightening
Fine lines and crow's feet around the eye area
Those wanting antioxidant and environmental protection for the eye area
Preventative users in their 30s who want to get ahead of eye-area ageing
Anyone who uses Pro-Heal Serum and wants to extend the same vitamin C philosophy to the eye area
"The C Eye Serum is a precise, minimal formulation - exactly what the eye area needs. Ten ingredients that are effective and really brighten the eye area with consistent use." - Caroline, Lucere
APPLICATION: Apply 1 drop to the ring finger. Gently tap around the orbital bone, under the eye and along the brow bone. Avoid the eyelid and inner corners. Use morning, evening, or both. Layer under eye cream if desired. A practical note on application: apply to the orbital bone area rather than directly on the eyelid, and avoid the inner corners. The low pH from the ascorbic acid can sting if it migrates into the eye itself.
Fragrance-free, oil-free, silicone-free. Use within 6 months of opening - store away from direct sunlight to maintain vitamin C potency.

For skin that wants an even, clear complexion without the harsh stuff
Pigmentation is one of the most persistent skin concerns - sun spots, post-breakout marks, melasma, uneven tone that no amount of foundation quite covers. The iS Clinical Brightening Serum is one of the most effective things I know of to address it, and it does so without hydroquinone, without harshness, and without making your skin angry.
This lightweight serum works across five pathways of pigmentation - not just one. Norwegian kelp extract interrupts the communication between the cells that create pigment. Sugarcane AHAs provide controlled exfoliation to lift existing pigmentation to the surface. Alpha-arbutin and mushroom extract brighten and even without irritation. The result is both immediate and cumulative - clinical studies show a 75% reduction in hyperpigmentation intensity after three months of consistent use.
Reviewers describe it as excellent for keeping pigment in check between treatments. Others have cleared melasma they'd had for years. Several describe results within two weeks. It has a very slight tingle on application, which is normal and settles quickly.
Who it's for:
Anyone with sun spots, age spots, or post-summer pigmentation
Melasma and hormonally triggered uneven skin tone
Post-breakout dark marks (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation)
Anyone who has tried other brightening products without results
Post-laser and post-BBL skin maintaining treatment results
Those who can't use hydroquinone or prefer to avoid it
Pairing note: The Brightening Serum and Brightening Complex work as a morning/night pair - the serum is lighter and more active, ideal for evenings; the Complex provides moisturising brightening support in the morning. Use together for significantly faster results.
"Pigmentation is one of the most common concerns I see, especially post-summer and post-procedure. This serum is one of the most reliable things I can recommend for it. Great results with consistent use." - Caroline, Lucere
APPLICATION: Apply 3-4 drops to the palm. Using fingertips, dab and smooth evenly over face and neck, or apply directly to areas of pigmentation. A slight tingling sensation on application is normal. Use morning or evening. Always wear SPF the following morning.
Not recommended for very reactive or rosacea-prone skin without guidance. Hydroquinone-free.

Brightening and moisturising in one step
Most brightening products ask you to give something up. You get the results but your skin dries out. You get the hydration but nothing actually brightens. The iS Clinical Brightening Complex doesn't make you choose.
This is a moisturiser-textured brightening treatment that targets all five mechanisms behind uneven skin tone - oxidative stress, inflammation, melanin synthesis, melanin migration, and surface pigmentation - while simultaneously delivering meaningful hydration through hyaluronic acid, squalane, and glycerin. Norwegian kelp extract, bearberry, willow bark, and fruit acids address pigmentation gently but consistently. No hydroquinone. No irritation. A light, pleasant scent that reviewers describe as lemony and fresh.
It's lighter than a traditional moisturiser in texture - reviewers with oilier skin use it as their sole daytime hydration step. Those with drier skin layer something richer on top. Most people begin seeing results in two to four weeks; visible dark spot reduction typically comes at six to eight weeks with daily use.
The Brightening Complex is the morning counterpart to the Brightening Serum. Used as an AM and PM pairing for significantly faster and more visible results than with either product alone.
Who it's for:
Anyone with sun damage, age spots, or uneven skin tone wanting a simple daily step
Normal to oily skin types who want brightening and moisture in one product
Post-summer pigmentation maintenance
Those who can't tolerate vitamin C but still want brightening actives
Anyone who wants to pair with the Brightening Serum for a complete around-the-clock approach
Skin that is dull and flat and needs a long-term reset
"Pigmentation takes patience. The Brightening Complex is one I trust to do what it says, it is intense and potent but for the right client it is excellent and does not make the skin angry in the process." - Caroline, Lucere
APPLICATION: Apply a small amount to clean skin, smoothing over face and neck or areas of concern. Use morning and/or evening. Always follow with SPF in the morning.

The vitamin C serum for people who've given up on vitamin C serums
Most vitamin C serums work by making your skin work harder. Stinging, redness, that raw feeling after application - especially if your skin is already reactive. The iS Clinical Pro-Heal Serum Advance+ is different. It is a 15% L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) formulation built specifically for skin that needs calming as much as it needs correcting.
The key is the formulation around the vitamin C. Olive leaf extract - a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory botanical - works alongside the vitamin C to actively reduce redness and support barrier function. Zinc sulfate targets inflammation at the source. Mushroom extract rebuilds the skin's ability to retain moisture and maintain a healthy barrier. Vitamins A and E provide additional protection and nourishment. The retinol in this formula acts as a cellular antioxidant rather than an exfoliant - there's no adjustment period, no purging, no flaking.
Reviewers describe noticeably calmer skin, reduced redness, and a more even tone within weeks. Multiple people with rosacea describe it as the only thing that consistently keeps their skin settled - some have been repurchasing for five to ten years. People who have been reactive to other vitamin C serums consistently report that this one they can tolerate and even love.
Who it's for:
Rosacea-prone skin - this is one of the most recommended products for rosacea in the iS Clinical range
Reactive, sensitive, or chronically red skin
Anyone who has had stinging or redness reactions to other vitamin C serums
Post-procedure skin after peels, microneedling, or laser
Mature skin that has become more reactive over time
Hormonal acne with redness and inflammation alongside breakouts
Anyone who wants the brightening and collagen support of vitamin C without the irritation
"Pro-Heal is the vitamin C serum I recommend when someone's skin is sensitive, reactive, or rosacea-prone. It calms while it corrects - and the reviews from long-term users with rosacea speak for themselves." - Caroline, Lucere
APPLICATION: Apply 3-4 drops to the palm. Using fingertips, dab and smooth evenly over face and neck. Use morning or evening. If you are new to vitamin C, ease into it by starting with every few days and working towards every day. Always wear SPF the following morning.

The one serum that does it all - and actually delivers
iS Clinical's bestselling Active Serum has a cult following for good reason. This is the serum people reorder without hesitation, recommend to their friends, and describe as their holy grail. It tackles fine lines, uneven skin tone, congestion, and breakouts - all at once, in one lightweight formula.
The secret is a botanically-derived blend of AHAs and BHAs - glycolic acid from sugarcane, salicylic acid from white willow bark, plus arbutin and mushroom extract for brightening - that works at a cellular level to resurface, clear, and brighten without the harshness of synthetic acids. Most people notice a difference within days.
At Lucere we use it for:
Fine lines, wrinkles and anti-ageing
Hormonal and teenage breakouts
Blemish-prone or congested skin
Uneven skin tone and post-breakout dark marks
Brightening dull skin
As a spot treatment directly on pimples overnight
How to use it:
A few drops go a long way. Apply to clean skin morning or night - or both. You can apply all over face and neck, or use sparingly as a targeted spot treatment on breakouts. It's a flexible serum - use it the way that works for you. Note: Not recommended for rosacea or eczema-prone skin.
"This is one of the first serums I reach for when a client wants real results. It's reliable every time. I treat it like gold, it’s a special product" - Caroline, Lucere
APPLICATION: Apply 3-4 drops to the palm. Using fingertips, dab and smooth evenly over face and neck, or apply directly to blemishes as a spot treatment. A slight tingling sensation on application is normal.

Moisturisers | Neck & Eye Creams
A moisturiser that earns its place in your routine every single day
The iS Clinical Reparative Moisture Emulsion is the one that quietly does everything right. Lightweight enough to wear under makeup, hydrating enough to use morning and night, and packed with ingredients that actually do something - copper peptides for firmness, hyaluronic acid for deep hydration, Extremozyme technology for DNA-level environmental protection, and superoxide dismutase for antioxidant defence.
It smells genuinely beautiful - a light, distinctive scent that makes applying it feel like a small daily luxury. Absorbs quickly, sits perfectly under makeup, and leaves skin looking plump, even, and healthy rather than coated or heavy. This is the moisturiser iS Clinical developed in conjunction with leading makeup artists specifically as the ideal skincare base - and it shows. Skin looks better before foundation even goes on.
Who it's for:
20s and 30s skin that wants a hardworking daily moisturiser with real anti-ageing ingredients
Anyone who wants one product that works seamlessly morning and night
Skin that sits in the normal to combination range - not too dry, not too oily
Anyone who loves wearing makeup and wants their skin to look genuinely good underneath it
Summer skin that wants hydration without heaviness
A step up from basic moisturisers without going full rich-cream territory
Note: For very dry skin or perimenopausal skin needing serious winter moisture, the iS Clinical SHEALD Recovery Balm is a better fit. For oily or acne-prone skin, a lighter approach might be necessary, chat to Caroline before purchasing if you're unsure.
"This is the moisturiser I reach for when someone wants something beautiful for everyday use that genuinely performs. The scent alone makes it feel special - and the ingredients back it up completely." - Caroline, Lucere
APPLICATION: Apply a small amount to clean skin, smoothing evenly over face and neck. Use morning and night. Follow with SPF in the morning.

The moisturiser that does three jobs at once
The iS Clinical Daily Dynamic Hydrator is a genuinely advanced formula that hydrates deeply, defends against environmental ageing, and works to improve firmness and elasticity - and it delivers on all three.
The technology behind it is called GeneXC - iS Clinical's proprietary blend of Extremozymes and a potent stabilised vitamin C that works to visibly brighten skin while protecting it at a DNA level from environmental stressors. Exosomes support barrier function and help improve the look of post-acne scarring. A copper biopeptide builds collagen over time. Sodium hyaluronate, sunflower extract, and glucomannan maintain deep hydration and barrier health. Two forms of vitamin B5 soothe and support.
Clinical studies showed 33% improvement in hydration and measurable reductions in forehead and eye lines in just two weeks. In practice, reviewers describe skin that absorbs it readily, sits beautifully under SPF, and looks noticeably plumper, healthier, and more radiant with consistent use.
This is the moisturiser to reach for if you want your daily hydration step to work harder without adding more products.
Who it's for:
Anyone who wants their moisturiser to also provide antioxidant protection and brightening
30s, 40s, and 50s skin wanting a single daily step that actually addresses ageing
All skin types - lightweight enough for normal to oily, nourishing enough for normal to dry
Those who love the GeneXC Firming Eye Gel and want the same technology all over
Anyone ready to upgrade from a basic moisturiser without going full-heavy-cream territory
"This is one of the most exciting launches in the iS Clinical range. GeneXC technology and exosomes in a daily moisturiser is a cutting edge step forward - and the results are already speaking for themselves. Plus it smells devine!" - Caroline, Lucere
APPLICATION: Apply to clean skin, smoothing evenly over face and neck after your serum step. Use morning and/or evening. Always follow with SPF in the morning.

The retinol that finally works for sensitive skin
Most people who've tried retinol have a story. Redness, flaking, that tight raw feeling for the first two weeks. The iS Clinical Retinol+ Emulsion 0.3 is different - and the reviews prove it.
This is a genuinely sophisticated formula. The retinol is botanically derived and encapsulated in bioidentical lipids, which means it releases slowly and evenly into skin rather than hitting all at once. That's why people who've failed with retinol before find they can use this every night without drama. Add in bakuchiol - the botanical that amplifies retinol's results while increasing tolerability - plus iS Clinical's proprietary Extremozyme technology for DNA-level environmental protection, and you have a retinol that works harder than its 0.3% concentration suggests.
Results reviewers consistently report: brighter skin within days, reduced fine lines within weeks, firmer more even-toned skin with consistent use. No burning. No flaking. Just quietly better skin every morning.
Who it's for:
Women 35+ who want a serious anti-ageing night treatment
Anyone who has tried retinol before and given up due to irritation
Skin that's looking dull, uneven, or showing early signs of ageing
Anyone wanting to firm, brighten and strengthen skin long-term
Those with blemishes or post-breakout marks alongside ageing concerns
Important notes:
Always follow with SPF the next morning - retinol increases sun sensitivity
Start 2-3 nights per week and build toward nightly use as your skin adjusts
A small amount goes a long way - 2-3 pumps covers face and neck
"This is my favourite iS Clinical product and possibly my favourite skincare product full stop. I use it every night and the difference in my skin is real - brighter, stronger, fewer lines, lovely glow. The fact that it doesn't cause dryness or flaking sets it apart from every other retinol I've tried." - Caroline, Lucere
APPLICATION: Apply 2-3 pumps to clean skin at night, smoothing evenly over face and neck. Begin with every 2-3 nights and increase frequency as tolerated. Always wear SPF the following morning.

When your skin needs rescuing, this is what you reach for
Some products are nice to have. The iS Clinical SHEALD Recovery Balm is a need-to-have. This is the one you reach for when your skin is dry, compromised, stressed, or recovering - and nothing else is cutting through.
A rich but non-greasy balm built around ceramides, hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and Vitamin E, SHEALD works by doing what a damaged or depleted skin barrier can't do for itself - sealing in moisture, calming inflammation, and creating a protective shield while skin heals underneath. Fragrance-free, antimicrobial, and gentle enough for the most reactive skin.
Clinically proven to speed up skin recovery after laser and resurfacing treatments - studies show 54% faster re-epithelialisation when used post-procedure. At Lucere we recommend it to every client after BBL, MOXI, microneedling, or peels.
Who it's for:
Post-procedure skin after laser, microneedling, peels, or extractions
Perimenopausal skin that's become dry, thin, or reactive - especially in winter
Dry skin that needs serious winter moisture
Skin with an impaired barrier - red, tight, irritated, or stressed
Anyone using retinol who needs a barrier-supporting night moisturiser
Eczema-prone skin needing gentle, protective hydration
Sunburned, wind-burned, or environmentally damaged skin
Face and body - works beautifully on dry hands, cuticles, heels
Sizes: 15g (perfect for travel or to keep in your bag) and 60g (the one to keep at home)
"This is my SOS product - the one I send clients home with after treatment and the one I reach for myself when my skin needs rescuing. Perimenopausal skin in a Wairarapa winter absolutely loves it." - Caroline, Lucere
APPLICATION: For daily use, apply a thin layer morning and night. Post-procedure, apply generously as needed - don't rub in, let it sit on the skin like a protective layer. Can be reapplied every few hours on very compromised skin.

A peptide eye cream that covers all the bases
The eye area is usually the first place to show fatigue, age, and dehydration - and it's also the most delicate skin on the face. The iS Clinical Youth Eye Complex addresses fine lines, crow's feet, puffiness, dark circles, and loss of firmness, in one fragrance-free formula that's gentle enough to use morning and night.
The formulation is genuinely sophisticated. Botanically-derived hyaluronic acid microspheres work differently from standard hyaluronic acid - they expand on contact with skin, physically filling in fine lines when you tap the product in. Sodium hyaluronate penetrates more deeply for lasting hydration. Acetyl octapeptide-3 targets the fluid accumulation behind morning puffiness. Dipotassium glycyrrhizate from licorice root calms discolouration under the eye. iS Clinical's Extremozyme technology provides DNA-level protection against further environmental damage.
Reviewers report immediate plumping on first application, and consistent improvement in crow's feet and dark circles over weeks. The lightweight texture works well under makeup and doesn't migrate.
Tip: the peptides and hyaluronic acid microspheres work just as effectively on fine lines around the mouth as around the eyes.
Who it's for:
Anyone with crow's feet, fine lines, or creasing around the eye area
Those dealing with morning puffiness or under-eye bags
Anyone with dark circles wanting gentle, consistent improvement
Mature and perimenopausal skin wanting comprehensive eye support
Sensitive skin that has reacted to other eye creams
"The eye area shows everything - fatigue, stress, age. This cream is comprehensive without being heavy or irritating, and the results with consistent use are genuinely good." - Caroline, Lucere
APPLICATION: Dispense a small amount onto your ring finger. Gently tap around the orbital bone, focusing on outer corners (crow's feet) and the under-eye area. Avoid the inner corners of the eye and eyelids. Use morning and night. Follow with moisturiser.

The treatment your neck has been waiting for
The neck and decollete are almost always the first places to show the real signs of ageing - thinning skin, loss of definition along the jaw, crepey texture that no amount of moisturiser seems to touch. And yet most people's skincare routine stops at the chin.
The iS Clinical NeckPerfect Complex is purpose-built for exactly this area. A gel-cream formula that exfoliates, firms, hydrates, and restores elasticity - all in one targeted daily treatment. Fruit acids from bilberry, sugarcane, orange, lemon, and sugar maple, alongside willow bark and salicylic acid, provide gentle resurfacing to refine the surface texture that makes crepey skin look worse. Hydrolysed quinoa and rice proteins strengthen the skin's structural matrix and visibly improve firmness and definition along the jaw and neck with consistent use. Hyaluronic acid, Vitamin B5, and sweet almond extract deliver deep, lasting hydration.
The clinical numbers are strong: 88% of users saw improvement in skin sagging; all users noticed a reduction in crepey skin. Results take time - expect to see texture improvement within a few weeks and meaningful lifting and firming effects from six to eight weeks of consistent use. This is not an overnight fix, but it is a genuine one.
One practical note: the formula has a light fragrance. If you are very fragrance-sensitive in general, introduce gradually.
Who it's for:
Anyone noticing the neck and jaw beginning to look less defined, thinner, or crepey
Perimenopausal and mature skin where the neck has aged faster than the face
Post-weight-loss skin that has lost firmness around the jaw and neck
Anyone whose face-to-neck disconnect has become noticeable
Those who want to protect and maintain definition before significant sagging begins
"The neck is almost always the give-away - and it's often ignored. NeckPerfect is one of those products that does what it promises, but you have to be consistent and patient with it. The clinical results speak for themselves." - Caroline, Lucere
APPLICATION: Apply a small amount to clean skin and smooth upward over the neck, jawline, and decollete. Use morning and evening. Apply with upward strokes rather than rubbing. Always follow with SPF in the morning.

The most advanced eye treatment iS Clinical has ever made
iS Clinical's GeneXC Firming Eye Gel is brand new to New Zealand, and it's generating the kind of response in international skincare circles that makes you pay attention. Beauty editors at Bustle, Marie Claire, and NewBeauty have all tested it. The verdict is consistent: visible tightening, smoothing, and brightening within two to five minutes of application. Not after weeks. Within minutes.
The formula centres on iS Clinical's proprietary GeneXC Technology - a combination of two forms of vitamin C (ethyl ascorbic acid for fast-acting radiance, ascorbic acid for longer-term collagen support and brightening), Extremozymes for environmental protection, and a deep-ocean bio-fermented active that creates an immediate tightening effect as it dries. Alongside that: two forms of hyaluronic acid for multi-level hydration, collagen-supporting Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 for genuine firming over time, and gold for luminosity and ingredient delivery. Glutathione and ergothioneine round out the antioxidant stack.
It comes in a tube with a cooling metal applicator tip. You press to dispense directly onto the tip and smooth over the eye area - no fingers, no dragging, no product lost in your palms. The cooling effect on contact helps with puffiness immediately. The gel itself is lightweight, honey-tinted, and absorbs quickly enough to wear under concealer and makeup without pilling.
A note on the tingle: some people feel a mild warming sensation on application, particularly if their skin is sensitive. It settles quickly and is a sign the actives are working - but worth knowing before your first use.
GeneXC vs Youth Eye Complex - which one is yours?
Both live on our shelves and both are worth having, but they do different things. The Youth Eye Complex is a richer, peptide-dense cream that works beautifully at night for drier and more mature skin needing deep moisture and anti-ageing support. GeneXC is the active treatment - the gel you reach for in the morning when you want your eyes to look better before you leave the house. Many clients will use both: GeneXC in the morning, Youth Eye Complex at night.
Who it's for:
Women 35+ whose eye area is ageing faster than the rest of their face
Anyone dealing with dark circles, crepiness, puffiness, or fine lines around the eyes
Those who want an eye treatment that wears under concealer and makeup without issue
Skin that finds rich eye creams too heavy for daytime wear
Anyone who wants immediate visible results alongside long-term improvement
First-time eye treatment users who want the best available option
"This is iS Clinical's most advanced eye treatment and the reviews back that up completely. The immediate tightening effect is real - and for anyone whose eyes are the thing that bothers them most in the mirror in the morning, this is where I'd start." - Caroline, Lucēre
APPLICATION: Press gently to dispense a small amount of gel onto the cooling metal applicator. Smooth over the under-eye area morning and evening, after serums and before moisturiser or SPF. Allow to fully absorb before applying makeup - a thin layer is all you need. Do not rub or over-manipulate.
Lightweight gel. Fragrance free. All skin types. 15ml.

SPF | Sunscreen
The SPF that does the work of two products
Extreme Protect SPF 40 is a fully all-mineral sunscreen built around 15.3% zinc oxide and 1.3% titanium dioxide, packed with the kind of skincare ingredients you'd expect to find in a treatment serum. Centella Asiatica for antioxidant and skin-support benefits. Vitamin E to protect against photo-damage. Olive leaf extract to calm and nurture. And iS Clinical's Extremozyme technology - a clinically proven enzyme blend that defends your skin against the visible effects of environmental stress.
The finish is matte but the feel is genuinely moisturising - hydrating without being heavy, and transparent on most skin tones with no white cast. Reviewers consistently say they forget they're wearing SPF. More than a few say they don't bother with makeup at all when they're wearing it - the finish is that good.
All-mineral broad spectrum UVA/UVB. Water resistant. No white cast. Fragrance free.
Who it's for:
Anyone who wants a serious daily mineral SPF that doubles as a skincare step
All skin types - works across a wide range of skin tones
Women 35+ who want sun protection and antioxidant support in one morning step
Those who prefer to avoid chemical UV filters entirely
Anyone who's been let down by SPFs that feel heavy, greasy, or chalky
"The 40 is where protection and skincare really meet. If you want one product doing the heavy lifting in your morning routine, this is the one. People are always surprised by how good their skin looks when they're wearing it." - Caroline, Lucere
APPLICATION: Apply liberally to face and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply at least every two hours, or after swimming or sweating. A little goes a long way - start with less than you think you need.

The SPF that makes your skin look better before your day even starts
This one barely needs an introduction at Lucere - it's our most-reached-for SPF, and once you've tried it, you'll understand why.
Extreme Protect SPF 40 in PerfecTint Beige takes everything that makes the SPF 40 exceptional - the all-mineral actives, the Extremozyme technology, the Centella Asiatica, the genuinely moisturising finish - and adds a warm, golden-beige tint that gives skin the kind of glow that makes people ask if you've just come back from somewhere nice. This is not a tinted moisturiser. It's not a BB cream. It's a sophisticated daily SPF that happens to make your skin look better while it protects it. All-mineral broad spectrum UVA/UVB. Water resistant. Warm golden-beige tint. Fragrance free.
The finish is luminous and dewy without being shiny. Reviewers repeatedly describe skipping foundation entirely - the tint evening out skin tone and the glow doing the rest.
One thing worth knowing before you choose: the beige in this formula reads warm and golden - distinctly different from the cooler, lighter beige of the Eclipse SPF 50+. If you've tried the Eclipse Beige and found it too cool or too light, this is likely the one you've been looking for. If you're after the lighter, pinker-neutral tint of the Eclipse range, head there instead.
Who it's for:
Anyone who wants sun protection, skincare, and a healthy glow in one step
Light to medium skin tones with neutral to warm undertones
Perimenopausal and mature skin wanting a natural, lifted finish without heavy coverage
Women who want to simplify their morning routine without sacrificing results
Those who've found the Eclipse 50+ Beige too cool or too light for their colouring
"The beige is our bestseller for a reason. The glow, the skincare, the protection - it does everything. It's the SPF I choose for myself when I don’t want to wear makeup but I want a bit of a glow." - Caroline, Lucere
APPLICATION: Apply liberally to face and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply at least every two hours, or after swimming or sweating. Blend well - the tint adapts to your skin tone as you apply.

The SPF that heals while it protects
Some days your skin needs more than just sun protection. Whether you're leaving the clinic after a treatment, managing reactive or redness-prone skin, or simply someone whose skin asks for a little more care - Extreme Protect SPF 30 is the SPF that meets you there.
This is the one I reach for when clients are heading out the door after a BBL, MOXI, or laser session. It goes on like a moisturiser, smells lovely, absorbs without fuss, and doesn't leave a white cast. People with rosacea consistently report it not only doesn't irritate - it actually calms redness on application. That's not something most SPFs can claim.
The ingredient deck backs all of this up. Centella Asiatica - known for its wound-healing properties - works alongside aloe vera, olive leaf extract, vitamin E, and iS Clinical's proprietary Extremozyme technology to actively support skin while it protects it. This isn't a sunscreen that sits passively on the surface. It works.
Worth knowing: this is a mixed mineral and microencapsulated organic formula - that combination is part of why it wears so lightly and feels closer to a moisturiser than a traditional SPF. Many clients use it as their sole morning product, applied straight over their serum with nothing else underneath. Broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection. Fragrance free. Paraben free.
Who it's for:
Post-treatment skin after laser, BBL, MOXI, microneedling, or peels
Rosacea and redness-prone skin - actively calms on application
Reactive and sensitive skin that has struggled with other SPFs
Mature skin that needs hydration and support alongside protection
Anyone who finds SPF drying, heavy, or irritating and has given up on wearing it daily
"This is the SPF I trust on skin fresh from a treatment. The healing ingredients aren't just a nice-to-have - they're the whole point. Clients with rosacea love it. I love it." - Caroline, Lucere
APPLICATION: Apply liberally to face and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply at least every two hours, or after swimming or sweating. Can be used as sole moisturiser and SPF combined.

SPF 50 protection, with just enough colour to work with
All the performance of Eclipse SPF 50+ - with a hint of colour that takes the edge off.
Eclipse SPF 50+ PerfecTint Beige adds iron oxides to the same high-performance mineral formula, giving a light, even tint that softens redness and removes any white-cast concern. Loyal users describe going completely makeup-free with it. The tint simply evens everything out quietly, and the finish does the rest.
The formula itself is identical to the Eclipse SPF 50+ translucent - the same 80-minute water resistance, the same weightless matte finish, the same clean mineral-only actives. You're simply choosing whether you want colour alongside your protection. Broad spectrum UVA/UVB. Cool-neutral tint. Fragrance free. Non-comedogenic.
Worth knowing before you buy: this tint reads cool and light - softer and more neutral than the warm golden-beige of the Extreme Protect SPF 40 Beige. If you've tried the EP40 Beige and found it too warm or too golden for your colouring, this is likely a better match. It's best suited to fair to light skin with neutral or cool undertones. If you have redness and want it neutralised, the cooler tone in this formula can help.
Who it's for:
Those committed to SPF 50 who want to minimise white cast or bare-skin appearance
Fair to light skin with neutral or cool undertones
Active and acne-prone skin wanting light coverage without warmth or heaviness
Long-term Eclipse SPF 50+ users who want the same formula with a hint of colour
Anyone who found the EP40 Beige too warm or golden for their skin tone
"If SPF 50 is non-negotiable for you, the beige takes care of the white-cast question. People who love it really love it and they stick with it" - Caroline, Lucere
APPLICATION: Apply liberally to face and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply at least every two hours, or after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating. Allow 3-5 minutes to fully set before applying makeup.

For when your lifestyle demands serious protection
For those who want the highest SPF number, the strongest water resistance, and a finish that gets out of the way - Eclipse SPF 50+ delivers exactly that.
Formulated with transparent titanium dioxide and micronized zinc oxide, Eclipse is iS Clinical's high-performance daily mineral sunscreen. It absorbs in minutes to a matte, weightless finish. It works brilliantly as a makeup primer. Foundation goes on better over it, stays longer, and doesn't pill. If you've been doubling up your SPF and primer step, this replaces both. All-mineral broad spectrum UVA/UVB. Matte finish. Fragrance free. Non-comedogenic.
Water resistant for up to 80 minutes - the highest rating available - it holds up through sweat, activity, and summer heat without needing constant reapplication. No fragrance, no chemical filters, no ingredients that compromise sensitive or acne-prone skin.
Where the Extreme Protect range leans into skincare and glow, Eclipse leans into reliability. It's the practical choice.
Who it's for:
Active and outdoorsy skin that needs high-protection, water-resistant mineral SPF
Acne-prone and oily skin wanting a clean, non-comedogenic matte finish
Anyone who wants their SPF to double as a makeup primer
Those who prefer to avoid chemical UV filters entirely
Post-procedure skin during recovery that needs reliable mineral cover
"Eclipse is the practical choice - and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. If SPF 50 and water resistance are what you need, this does the job beautifully and then doubles as your primer." - Caroline, Lucere
APPLICATION: Apply liberally to face and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply at least every two hours, or after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating. Allow 3-5 minutes to fully set before applying makeup.

A complete routine for skin that flushes, reacts, and struggles to settle
Rosacea-prone skin, chronically red or reactive skin, skin that has become sensitised over time - these all need a different approach to skincare. Not more actives. Not more layers. Just the right products, working together to calm, support, and protect.
That's exactly what the Pure Calm Collection is built for. Four products, covering every step of a routine designed around skin that needs handling with care.
Contents:
Cleansing Complex 180ml - the gentle deep-pore cleanser that removes everything without triggering redness
Pro-Heal Serum Advance+ 15ml - iS Clinical's vitamin C serum specifically formulated for reactive, rosacea-prone, and compromised skin
Hydra-Cool Serum 15ml - immediate cooling hydration and calm; the 'rescue' product for skin that is feeling overwhelmed
Eclipse SPF 50+ 100g - clean mineral SPF that protects without irritating; recommended post-procedure and for sensitive skin by dermatologists
The Pro-Heal Serum is the heart of this collection. Unlike most vitamin C serums - which can sting and flush reactive skin - Pro-Heal is built around calming botanicals alongside the 15% vitamin C. It reduces redness while it brightens, and strengthens the barrier while it works. People with rosacea who have tried and failed with other vitamin C products consistently report that this one they can actually tolerate.
The routine:
AM: Cleansing Complex - Pro-Heal Serum - Hydra-Cool Serum - Eclipse SPF 50+
PM: Cleansing Complex - Pro-Heal Serum - Hydra-Cool Serum
"This is the set I reach for when someone describes skin that is constantly red, reactive, or struggling. Pro-Heal alongside Hydra-Cool is one of my favourite calming combinations in the range." - Caroline, Lucere
APPLICATION: AM: Cleansing Complex - Pro-Heal Serum - Hydra-Cool Serum - Eclipse SPF 50+. PM: Cleansing Complex - Pro-Heal Serum - Hydra-Cool Serum.
Suitable for: all skin types.
Free shipping on NZ orders over $150. Authorised iS Clinical stockist.
Two products. One routine. The best thing you can do for your skin.
If you were going to start somewhere with iS Clinical - or give someone a gift that actually gets used - this is it. The Balance & Hydrate Gift Pack pairs the full-size 180ml Cleansing Complex with the Hydra-Cool Serum in a set designed around one simple idea: clean skin, calm skin.
The Cleansing Complex is the product I recommend most. It cleans without stripping, clears without irritating, and works on literally every skin type I see in clinic. The 180ml size means it lasts - this isn't a sample, it's a proper introduction. The Hydra-Cool Serum is the serum I reach for when skin is sensitised, dehydrated, or just needs to breathe. It layers light as water, calms redness, and gives a plump, settled result within days.
Together they're a simple morning and evening routine in two steps.
Who it's for:
Anyone starting with iS Clinical for the first time
Teenage or hormonal skin
Dry, dehydrated, or sensitised skin
Skin that needs to calm down before introducing actives
Anyone who wants visible results without complexity
The routine:
AM: Cleansing Complex - Hydra-Cool Serum
PM: Cleansing Complex - Hydra-Cool Serum
"This is one of the sets I genuinely love giving as a gift - and not just because it's well-priced. These are two products I use in clinic every week. Simple, effective, and exactly what most skin actually needs." - Caroline, Lucēre
APPLICATION:
Step 1 - Cleansing Complex: Apply to dry or wet skin. Massage gently over face and neck. Rinse thoroughly or remove with a damp cloth. Use morning and evening.
Step 2 - Hydra-Cool Serum: Apply a small amount to clean skin. Smooth evenly over face and neck. Follow with SPF in the morning.

A proper facial at home - in fifteen minutes
The Warm Up, Cool Down kit is the at-home version of something I do in clinic: warm the skin to open it up and cleanse it deeply, then flood it with cooling hydration to calm, plump, and leave it glowing. Two steps, two products, fifteen minutes.
Step one is the Warming Honey Cleanser - 40% raw honey, royal jelly, propolis, and papaya enzymes that warm gently on contact, cleanse deeply, and exfoliate just enough to let everything that follows absorb better. It smells beautiful. It feels luxurious. Skin is softer after you rinse it off than it was before you started.
Step two is the Hydra-Intensive Cooling Masque - a professional-strength gel treatment packed with Centella Asiatica, resveratrol, aloe vera, green tea, and botanically-sourced hyaluronic acid. The sensation is immediately cooling and calming - the contrast after the warmth is genuinely lovely. You can rinse it off after 5-10 minutes, or leave it on overnight as a treatment. Reviewers describe waking up to glowing, plump, visibly better skin when they sleep in it.
I use the Warming Honey Cleanser as part of the Fire & Ice Facial at Lucere. This kit lets you bring that same two-step treatment ritual home. It's the most indulgent thing you can do for your skin in fifteen minutes.
Who it's for:
Anyone who wants a proper at-home facial experience without a clinic visit
Skin that is dull, dehydrated, or needs a weekly reset
A gift that genuinely gets used - this is the one people reach for
All skin types; especially lovely in winter when skin needs warmth and hydration
Perfect before a big event or as a regular Sunday ritual
"This is one of my favourite things to give as a gift. Two products, a perfect pairing, and genuinely one of the best things you can do for your skin at home. I use both in clinic and reach for them myself." - Caroline, Lucere
APPLICATION: Step 1 - Warming Honey Cleanser: Moisten face. Massage evenly over face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Leave 3-5 minutes for full mask effect. Rinse thoroughly. Step 2 - Hydra-Intensive Cooling Masque: Apply an even layer over face and neck. Leave 5-10 minutes and rinse - or leave on overnight for deeper hydration.
Paraben-free. Suitable for all skin types. Pregnancy safe.

Skincare designed to support skin through cancer treatment
The iS Clinical Pure Wellness Collection is iS Clinical's dedicated cancer care programme - a set of products that have been used successfully by active cancer patients during treatment for over a decade. It was developed to address the skin changes that cancer therapies commonly cause: extreme dryness, sensitivity, redness, thinning, and impaired barrier function.
Every product in this collection is chosen for its gentleness and its efficacy. No fragrances. No harsh actives. No ingredients that could compromise already-sensitised skin. Just a simple, restorative routine that helps maintain skin health and quality of life during a difficult time.
Contents:
Cream Cleanser 120ml - the most gentle cleanser in the iS Clinical range; can be wiped off without water; nourishes without stripping
Poly-Vitamin Serum 15ml - a restorative vitamin serum that improves tone, texture, and overall skin health with a gentle, non-irritating formula
Hydra-Cool Serum 15ml - immediate calming hydration for skin that is reactive, inflamed, or dehydrated
Extreme Protect SPF 30 (2 x 5g) - the healing SPF that protects while actively supporting skin recovery; recommended for post-treatment skin
This collection is also suitable beyond cancer care - for anyone whose skin is severely compromised, extremely reactive, or recovering from significant stress. It is pregnancy and breastfeeding safe.
The routine:
AM: Cream Cleanser - Poly-Vitamin Serum - Hydra-Cool Serum - Extreme Protect SPF 30PM: Cream Cleanser - Poly-Vitamin Serum - Hydra-Cool Serum (add a richer moisturiser if skin is very dry - SHEALD Recovery Balm or Reparative Moisture Emulsion are ideal partners)
"This collection is close to my heart. iS Clinical's cancer care programme is one of the most thoughtful things the brand does - and these products work just as beautifully for anyone whose skin is compromised and needs to be treated gently." - Caroline, Lucere
APPLICATION: AM: Cream Cleanser - Poly-Vitamin Serum - Hydra-Cool Serum - Extreme Protect SPF 30. PM: Cream Cleanser - Poly-Vitamin Serum - Hydra-Cool Serum. Add SHEALD Recovery Balm or Reparative Moisture Emulsion at night if skin needs more moisture.
Suitable for: all skin types including the most compromised and sensitised.

iS Clinical skincare products are non-systemic and are considered cosmetic by the FDA. Considering this, these products, including those containing retinol should pose no difficulty during pregnancy and lactation with the understanding they should not be placed directly on lactating nipples to avoid ingestion.
iS Clinical recommends the user always consult with their individual doctor and follow that doctor’s advice regarding their particular health situation including pregnancy and lactation.
-
Pharmaceutical products are regulated as drugs—their ingredients must be pure, undiluted, conform to what is claimed and lack impurities. Cosmetic-grade products, commonly purchased at your local drugstore or department store, are not held to the same standard. iS Clinical is a pharmaceutical-grade skincare line backed by clinical studies.
Cosmetic-grade skincare products are generally available over-the-counter and are not subject to strict regulations or clinical testing, while pharmaceutical-grade skincare products are formulated with higher concentrations of active ingredients, undergo rigorous testing, and are often prescribed by dermatologists or available through medical channels.
"Medical-grade skincare" isn't a regulated term, and it's often used as a marketing tactic, implying products are superior or more effective than over-the-counter options, which is not always the case. When choosing skincare, it's crucial to focus on the ingredients and whether they are backed by clinical evidence, rather than relying solely on the "medical-grade" label.
-
Even though the same ingredient names may appear on packaging of other brands, there is most often a tremendous difference in the quality, purity, and efficacy of those same ingredients.
For example, one of iS Clinical’s favorite botanical ingredients: Centella Asiatica comes in many forms and strengths. A “cosmetic-grade” (basic grade containing impurities) Centella Asiatica extract is often priced in the $50/kg region; while the “pharmaceutical-grade” (purest, most powerful grade) used in iS CLINICAL® products costs in the region of $5,000/kg.
The pharmaceutical-grade Centella may be 1,000 times more powerful than a cosmetic-grade.
Please remember that ingredients are only the starting point of a formulation and should only be viewed as a “building block”; as often an ingredient’s independent characteristics and properties are completely changed when combined with other ingredients in a formula. For example, Hydrogen and Oxygen are gases in their natural state, however if you combine 2 Hydrogen molecules with an Oxygen molecule, the result is water; which is a completely different substance. Imagine how different a formulation is from its combination of many, many ingredients that are bonded together!
-
A sudden change is just fine, based on skin condition needs or seasonal changes. However, if you have a history of sensitivity, patch testing products is recommended. We recommend a seasonal skincare consultation and treatment plan to best meet the skin’s changing needs and perhaps the clients' lifestyles.
-
To safely begin using active ingredients in your skincare routine, start with a low concentration of one ingredient, patch test on a small area, and gradually increase frequency and concentration as your skin tolerates it, while always using sunscreen.
We will give you more detailed instructions about how to do this based on your skintype and the products you purchase, please ask us if you have any questions.
-
iS Clinical products are not tested on animals.
iS CLINICAL products contain ingredients obtained only from non-animal sources except for honey in WARMING HONEY CLEANSER. This product contains honey made by bees pollinating natural California blossoms and is cruelty-free. These hives are maintained by compassionate and knowledgeable beekeepers who only harvest the honey overow not consumed by the bees. This allows the hives to remain healthy and thrive.
-
Every substance in the world is a chemical and can be meticulously described by a chemical name, for example water can be known as dihydrogen monoxide, which is actually the chemical term for H2O.
The iS Clinical product line is unique in that it uses ingredients of only the highest quality and purity. Their raw materials are botanically based and pharmaceutical grade, and do not contain fillers, toxic metals, or impurities. They meet the criteria of their biochemical C of A (Certificate of Analysis) at their production facility.
-
iS Clinical products contain no unnecessary fragrances, chemical preservatives, or other chemicals. Furthermore, they use pharmaceutical-grade raw materials, free of impurities and “stowaway” compounds.
iS Clinical products do contain many botanical and “active” ingredients, so it is possible for occasional sensitivities to the products to develop. If you are concerned about potential sensitivities, we welcome you to patch test with our tester products at Lucere or we can apply certain products post treatment for you to try.
