Isomers: discover the secret to maintaining beautiful skin

Magic may not actually exist, but some skin care formulas come very close to it. In fact, Isomers is a line of skin care products that offers the clinical version of the legendary Fountain of Youth.

Isomers Laboratories, located in Toronto for over 20 years, uses modern chemistry to help women regain their youthful appearance. While Isomers can be used by anyone, the products are formulated specifically for people over the age of 40, the age when skin begins to lose its elasticity and develops deep wrinkles.

In 1987, co-founders Manuela Marcheggiani and her husband, formulating chemist Darius Majlessi, began the search for the next generation of skin care products. Believe it or not, Darius developed the first product, a cream called Latiffe, using his mother’s kitchen blender. But that was just the beginning for Isomers. The next step was a cellulite-fighting body cream. The success and popularity of the products put Manuela and Darius in business and Isomers on the shelf.

The blender used to produce Latiffe was, of course, replaced with state-of-the-art dermatology lab and testing equipment. Isomers Laboratories does not perform animal testing of its products, nor does it contract with other companies to do so for them. Instead, Isomers works with human volunteers, people for whom its products are designed.

Isomers was able to develop a formula for its products that includes a messenger peptide that stimulates the skin and supports collagen, which increases skin lipids and reduces the depth of wrinkles. It has formulas for five skin types: acne/oily, aging, dry, normal, and sensitive skin.

Here’s a look at some of their best-selling products for the face:

Isomers Australian Harvest Try Me Kit

This three-bottle kit is designed to remove blemishes, blackheads, and whiteheads from the skin. It also stimulates skin healing and helps prevent the appearance of new problems. This three-step process includes:

Isomers Start-Up Kit of six pieces for perfect skin

This six-piece starter kit is a great way to get to know Isomers and experience what it can do for your skin. Includes:

· Dual Duty Cleanser: Use a quart-sized scoop of this daily cleanser that contains lactic acid, willow bark, and lavender extract. Exfoliates dead skin and its low pH formula provides deep pore cleansing. It is suitable for all skin types and does not require tonic.

Synchronizer Cell Renewing Complex: Use this formula twice daily to get the full benefit of its biomimetic exfoliating peptide. It will improve the luminosity and smoothness of your skin, even out pigmentation and activate cell regeneration. Follow this with a moisturizer.

R Intensive Serum: Used morning and night, this serum will help improve your skin’s elasticity, hydration, and clarity. Intended for maturing skin, the serum can also help correct premature skin aging caused by the sun or the environment. Simply apply two to five drops of the serum daily to face, neck, back of hands, and décolleté.

· Telomers RenovageYouth Precursor Complex: This “youth cream” helps your face fight the effects of stress, thereby reducing the signs of aging. It will improve your skin’s moisture and create a barrier against harmful particles in the environment. It can also be used to reduce sun spots. This continues after cleansing and serum.

R Pur for Eyes: Use R Pur if you want to eliminate bags, dark circles or puffiness around the eyes. Studies show that after 56 days of use, you will notice a significant reduction in bags under the eyes. Use a drop or two of the serum on the skin under the eyes and gently pat it into the skin.

Neck and Chin Firming: Just as it’s called, this formula targets a firmer and smoother neck and chin area. It is designed to smooth skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and give you a more radiant complexion. Contains wheat, barley and arnica. When you first start using the product, you should apply it liberally two to three times a day. After that, you can go down to once or twice a day.

Isomers also produces formulas designed to care for the rest of you, including your body, eyes and lips. Isomer chemists recognize that your skin is different in each of these areas and have created different scrubs, creams, moisturizers, serums, and firming systems for each.
