IS Clinical

Some of the products in the IS Clinical Line include: Pro Heal Serum, Firming Complex, Cleansing Complex, Hydra-Cool Serum, Super Serum, Active Serum, C Eye Gel, Eye Complex, Poly-Vitamin Serum, and C & E Serum.

IS Clinical’s Firming Complex is designed to encourage regeneration, nourish the skin, and provide antioxidants to protect it from damage. It also promises to restore firmness within minutes thanks to a fast-acting formula.

With IS Clinical’s involvement with the medical community, and its stated commitment to patient care, it is easy to assume that this product contains only the latest, most advanced anti-aging ingredients. Unfortunately, this is not the case, as it does not contain an active complex to help boost collagen, which plays a major role in maintaining the skin’s firmness. Recently, the real stars of anti-aging have been peptide complexes, which have been shown to help prevent lines from forming and even reduce the depth of existing wrinkles by stimulating collagen synthesis. This is particularly essential for mature skin, since collagen production tends to wane as we get older, resulting in sagging and creasing.

This product does, however, include some excellent moisturizing ingredients, most notably Hyaluronic Acid. This water-binding agent has been shown to carry nutrients to skin cells that do not have a direct blood supply, as well as flush away debris so that the skin appears brighter and fresher.

The IS Clinical website is packed with information about the company, and about its Cancer Care initiative. It also includes a section that makes product recommendations for specific conditions such as rosacea and hyper pigmentation. For those who are more clinically-minded, there is a section consisting of articles on skin care written by physicians. However, for most consumers, this is a bit too dense to be much help. If IS Clinical truly wanted to foster education, the company may want to consider adding a glossary of ingredients to the site so that consumers could more easily assess which product is most appropriate for their skin type.

• Products contain Hyaluronic Acid

• Products do not contain an active collagen-boosting ingredient
• Products are not available through the manufacturer’s website
• No free trial sample available

IS Clinical’s efforts to help improve quality of life for cancer patients is quite admirable, and do doubt comes as quite a relief to those who are struggling to cope with the side effects of intense therapies. However, its standard anti-aging line could still use a bit of work, as it does not seem to incorporate the latest technology. In addition, while the company’s website is overflowing with skincare facts, it contains very little information about the ingredients in IS Clinical’s formulas, which may make it difficult for consumers to know that they’re making the right choice. For this reason, consumers may want to look for a product that posts these kind of details prominently.
