Ingredient Profiles
iS Clinical Active Serum
The efficacy of active ingredients in skincare has been supported by various studies. For instance, the role of biomarkers in skin conditions such as vitiligo has been explored in studies like Clinical Importance of Autoantibodies to SOX10 and Lamin A/C as Potential Biomarkers in Sera From Vitiligo Patients. Additionally, the treatment of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation has been investigated in studies like Treatment of Acne‐Induced Facial Post‐Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation.
Obagi Nu-Derm Exfoderm Forte
Obagi Nu-Derm Exfoderm Forte is a lightweight lotion with glycolic and lactic acids that exfoliates and removes old dull skin while promoting natural skin turnover for a noticeably smoother, brighter complexion for normal to oily skin types. Research has shown that the use of alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) like glycolic and lactic acid can significantly improve skin texture and promote cell turnover. A study published in the Plastic Surgery Educational Foundation's Skin Products Assessment Research study demonstrated the efficacy of such products in enhancing skin resurfacing outcomes.
