Review: Image Skincare
Developed by internationally recognized chemists working together with a board of physicians, Image Skincare is a line of innovative anti-aging skincare products that you will only find at spas and doctor’s offices. By using the highest percentages of active ingredients allowed by the FDA and constantly incorporating the latest developments in skincare technology, Image Skincare is able to produce revolutionary products that work with any skin type.
The Ormedic line is perfect for those trying to use more natural products, as it combines medical effectiveness with pure organic ingredients like chamomile tea and green tea. These products balance the skin’s health with anti-oxidants and essential botanicals without the use of chemicals, acids or parabens. The Balancing Facial Cleanser, for example, lifts away make up and impurities while balancing the skin’s pH levels and delivering essential nutrients. There’s no need for a toner after this cleanser, which will leave skin soft, hydrated and clean.
Another great Ormedic product is the Balancing Antioxidant Serum, which is a silky botanical lactic acid serum infused with Japanese green tea, polyphenols and a copper-complex peptide to continuously balance skin from within and restore lasting moisture levels. The Ormedic line’s anti-aging weapons are the Balancing Bio-peptide Creme, which features aloe vera, green tea, chamomile and grape seed, and the Balancing Eye Lift Gel, which reverses fine lines around the eye area. Don’t forget to give skin the ultimate dose of hydration with a weekly mask, like the Ormedic Balancing Gel Masque which will instantly quench dry skin and give you a natural glow.
The Clear Cell line from Image Skincare is highly effective for those suffering from acne, utilizing potent acne-fighting ingredients and anti-inflammatory botanicals to eliminate excess oil and purify skin. For a daily cleanser, the foaming Salicylic Gel Cleanser is designed to immediately draw out impurities and excess oil to keep skin smooth, soft and shine free. Follow up with the Medicated Acne Lotion, which helps control oil production while delivering an antioxidant blend and natural skin lighteners to help diminish dark spots from previous breakouts.
Two other musts from this collection for clear, shine-free skin: the Salicylic Clarifying Tonic, which removes excess surface oil, and Salicylic Clarifying Pads, which are perfect for travel or tossing in your bag for use after the gym.
Another option for those concerned primarily with sun exposure is the Prevention+ line of products with built-in broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection. There are daily SPF moisturizers for every skin type. Made with transparent zinc oxide, the Ultra Sheer Spray 45 is super lightweight and combines physical sunscreen with anti-oxidants to prevent free-radical damage and protect against environmental exposure. Those with oily skin will want to go with the Daily Matte Moisturizer, which is oil-free and contains microsponge technology to absorb surface oils for a matte, shine-free finish (all with SPF 32).
If you’re looking for a hint of color, the Daily Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30 is the best choice. It’s lightweight and sheer, but provides just enough tint for an even skin tone and healthy-looking glow. Those looking for an added anti-aging boost will want the Daily Ultimate Protection Moisturizer SPF 50, which contains plant-derived stem cells to delay the aging effects of the sun on skin cells. It’s ideal for post-procedure skin.
