I am starting an intense regime as I slowly push my way to the “4th” floor of life. I discovered IS skincare a couple of weeks ago and started using its C Eye Advanced Serum, Eye Complex and Super Serum Advance ($130) for pigmentation issues. All I have to say is OH MY GOD. Why have I not heard of this before? After requesting the press package I was shocked to find that it has been featured in almost every magazine available on a list of celebs that reads like Vanity Fair’s Oscar party (actually this is the line celebs turn to for last minute firming, brightening and moisturizing before red carpet events!). Another noteworthy fact is that IS works with Washington Cancer Institute in Washington DC– they have developed innovative products that address the unique skincare concerns of cancer patients. Many of these formulas not only help create vibrant and healthy skin, they also address important issues such as acne, chafing, uneven complexion, burns and scar tissue.
I started the IS skincare line on a night when I had a bit too much fun with the girls. I got home, used all three products plus a sample packet of the Youth Complex ($135) and woke up with the most amazing skin (my headache was the only reminder of the bottle of wine the night before). Intrigued, I spent a few minutes massaging each product to see how it performed (since I could not remember how I applied it the night before)– my skin absorbed all products immediately– especially the serums, with no residue nor greasiness. I love the eye serum and cream but the most amazing product was the Youth Complex (on my list to get since my sample lasted 2 days)– the results were noticeable right away. My skin looked tighter, smoother and brighter! Not sure if this is permanent, will report back in a couple of months. I’m now obsessively going through all the pamphlets to see what else I need to try. There are two masks that I must try, the Resurfacing and Rejuvenating. Will review when I get them.
Check out the line here and find out where to buy at a doctor’s office or spa near you– this is pharmaceutical grade stuff, you won’t find it at Sephora. Check a location near you here.
Or Call 818-638-8758 for more information. You will not believe the results! It’s amazing and for the ultimate Beauty Snob!!!
Thanks for this great review. Although I haven’t started using products like this at this time in my life, it is great to hear about a line that actually delivers results. So many women spend heaps of money on products that don’t even work! I love that IS works closely with cancer patients. Glad to hear you had such a positive experience with IS.

I LOVE IS Clinical….great products! I love the Active Serum and ProHeal.
Do you know if there is anything in this line appropriate for a 20-something??
@ kim. exactly my question!! anything for us 20 something( going on 30)??
Thank you for this review! I am going to get a few items for my mother!
Hi Tina,
Which product would be used for hyperpigmentation, and have you seen results regarding the fading of pigmentation or is it too soon to tell?
Thanks!
I’m a Active Serum user and I can’t say enough great things! Going to have to try the Eye Complex… thanks for the great info!
too soon to tell but I can tell you it feels fantastic and my skin texture is very hydrated and ‘plump’. will let you know about pigmentation in a month. unfortunately been swimming with 4 year old (even with hat on i think i got some sun)
How does this line compare with Skinceuticals? Do you use both, or have you changed your routine?
I bought some Skinceuticals products primarily on your recommendation, and found them amazing. I’ve been able to stop using foundation and move back to tinted moisturiser (Chantecaille’s Just Skin) as a base for make-up because that’s now enough to even out my skin tone. Haven’t done that for years and I, like you, am going to be 40 this year.
Newby Hands, Vogue UK’s beauty editor, recommended IS Clinical’s serum in particular in a recent piece in the Times, so it was on my list of things to consider, but I am wondering now what to keep and what to drop.
Please do let us know you get on.
I found the Newby Hands’ article:

There’s an accompanying video and all I can say is that she is a great advert for her recommendations.

I have been using IS Clinical for 4 years now!! I just turned 30 and have better skin than I did at 21!! It the most amazing product. I have lots of freckles and they seem to come out even more in the summer. The IS Clinical Active Serum lightens them so well that my skin tone is completely even!!!
Love,Love it!!
I have stopped using skinceuticals for now because i’m testing out iS for 30 days.
I am using their cleanser, serums and sunscreen. Look for the complete review in a few weeks!
You must try the Active Serum! I wake up daily with baby bum skin
fyi- these products do absolutely nothing for acne. such a waste of money!!
I have been using Active Serum for my acne for the last 4 years. It is the only thing that works. I have been on every perscription medication, and have tried most skincare product lines to no success. Maybe you were doing something wrong.

These products sound like such miracle workers! However, these are priced at double what I currently pay! In your review, you write that you are using the 7 products and nothing else – what that just for the review? I see others are using just an item or two.
I started using the perfecTint spf20 moisturizing sunscreen after my aesthetician gave me a couple of samples. I have used it for almost two years and love it. I am fair skinned with freckles and it still looks natural, plus you get the spf! I use it on my face mostly and with sensitive skin have had no reaction. In the winter months I use additional moisurizer and have typically used it in place of foundation, it just gives your face a fresh sunny glow. I just turned 30 and think this stuff would work for all ages. If you find a spa that caries it they will probably give you one of the little sample packets to try.
My boyfriend bought me the Youth Complex from http://www.innerrewards.com/eshop/categories/Shop-by-Brand/IS-Clinical/
and I have to say that it is AMAZING!! I spoke to an aesthetician here in San Francisco (Sugarcane) who uses the IS Clinical line and she told me that since I have sensitive skin, I should use the Youth Complex 2-3 times a week because it helps promote skin cell turnover.
