I figured using any gentle cleanser would be OK, and it was. Now that my arsenal of ISC is replenished, I splurged and got the cleanser.
It really makes a difference! With ISC, there really isn't a need to exfoliate because the products do that. The cleanser, when added to the rest of the line, exfoliates your skin MUCH more noticeably. And my skin stays "no-shine" for most of the day! I'm a happy camper!
I know some say that the Cleanser dries their skin and it does feel a bit more drying than what I was using (Ole Henriksen Orange Cleanser) but it's well worth putting on a tad more moisturizer for the smooth, clear skin I get from adding this to my routine.

Wow Lexie...
Isn't that interesting!
I never tried the cleanser, not cause of worries that it would dry my skin, but just cause I didn't think it was necessary.
But, based on your experience, I'm going to ask for a sample... |

I'd be interested in hearing your opinion when you get a sample, Katee. I, too, was surprised that it made a difference. And you use very little; create a lather in your hands, and wash.
It states that it's an exfoliating cleanser and I'd never thought I needed one before. Although my skin feels and looks great with ISC, it feels more like baby-skin when I started using their cleanser.

...and me almost out of cleanser  what a coincidence. But, if it's an exfol. cleanser, that would mean you need another one at night to take off make-up...am I right? I use cleanser to take off eye makeup as well |

Marina, I use it twice a day and it works well for me taking off makeup. I never use a toner but did after using it the first time to see if there was any residue. Nada. It actually takes off makeup better than what I had been using.
I was a bit leary to use it to take off my eye makeup but no burning, irritation, and melted away my Kiss Me mascara. Watch. My eyelids will start peeling next week.
Now by the end of the day, I don't have much makeup left on my face. But I see whatever is left on the facecloth after washing.
It's a very watery consistency so be careful squeezing it onto your hand - you'll probably need a nickel size or less. It lathers well and almost has a slippery feel on your face. Washes off well but I do use a facecloth cuz I like to see what's coming off.

The terms 'slippery' & 'lathers' are exactly what I needed to hear.  Off to order a $41.00 cleanser, at least it's 6 oz. Has anyone tried the sunscreen or sunscreen powder-just to make sure I've covered everything IS Clinical. |

I'd like to hear about the sunscreen, too. Seems I LOVE everything ISC!
Marina, I'm glad the words "slippery" and "lather" got you excited.

Lexy,
I don't remember-are you using the pro-heal or the super serum. I'm almost finished my super serum & I'm wondering whether I should try the pro-heal.Do you have oilish or dry skin? Thanks

I have oily-ish, old skin. I use the Super Serum every morning in the winter. I have and use the ProHeal only in the summer and only if I start getting clogged pores from the heat.
I guess ProHeal is helpful for breakouts and evening skintone but I like SS better for that healthy looking skin.
If you aren't too oily, the Poly-Vit Serum is awesome. I use it 1-2X a week at night and my skin looks radiant in the a.m.
Why are you looking at the ProHeal? Maybe I'll have a better idea what you're looking for.

Looks like we have the same skin-oilyish & ahem... I prefer mature (hitting 50 this year). I thought pro-heal was something I'd prefer in summer-I'm not sure if the texture is different but I DO get oilier in summmer. Also, a lot of people with pigmentation problems seem to like it.I get a lot of this when the sun hits due to being an avid sun worshipper in my misspent youth. At any rate, I'm still a long way from summer here-snow coming as we speak-so I can hopefully get a sample.
I tried a sample of a poly-vit serum & went positively gaga-this means I liked it. I never ordered it because I didn't think it was 'active'- skinterra said this was used to give your skin a break. I didn't want to spend that kind of $$$ to give my skin a break. I may rethink this if you like it so much.
Why is it whenever I come here I end up spending $$$$

Add me to the list of contemplators 
I've been thinking of trying Pro-Heal for the retinol benefits (my skin really can't handle Retin A). Told myself I would wait until my Super Serum is all gone (got about 1/3 left). The Firming Complex is calling my name to. Course the new sunscreen looks great (the transparent one w/the brush), but I know I won't be trying that anytime soon. Got 2 tubes of Vichy and 1 of Clinque Active White Lab. Gosh the list keeps getting longer.  |
