I just ordered these products but I am not sure how to use them, what order to use them in, etc. If there is a good thread on this, could someone post a link? If not, I'd love some direction on how to use these four products!
This what I bought:
- IS Clinical Active Serum
- IS Clinical Hydra-Cool Serum IS Clinical
- Super Serum Advance
- IS Clinical Pro-Heal Serum |

I'll share with you my routine, but do some research...
AM:
IS Vitamin C Super Serum
Hydra-cool Serum (not always, depending on how my skin feels)
Sunscreen (DDF Organic)
PM:
Cleanse
Active Serum
Hydra-cool Serum (also, depending on how my skin feels)
Good luck!  |

Thanks for that puglove. The thing is I looked at their website but didn't see any instructions on how to use these products, the order of which to use them in, the amount, time of day (night, day) or what to use them with as well as I searched the forums, found lots of info but no instructions!  |

Hi AM!
The Active Serum is typically a night product that can be used every night, several nights a week or just once a week depending skin type/condition/sensitivity and needs. You would apply it first.
For the Super Serum Advance and the ProHeal Serum, I would think you could alternate those in the mornings as they both have photo-protective properties with the 15% L-ascorbic acid. Unless, of course, you are using ProHeal for rosacea or acne prone skin, in which case, you *might* want to use Proheal only for a while.
The Hydra-Cool Serum, which is hydrating and cooling, would usually follow the Super Serum, Active Serum or ProHeal Serum.
All the ISC serums should be used sparingly.
I hope you have fantastic results, AM! |

Another thing to note is that the Hydra-Cool can leave a sort of sticky feeling to the skin. If you have oily or combo skin it may leave you too shiny to use in the morning. If you have dry skin it will probably work great. |

| IS Clinical is my HG skin care. I LOVE it!!! The only product that I have found to be so-so is the Eye Cream, which is a nice, gentle eye cream but not much in the way of treatment for me. I do use ISC's Cleanser, which is extremely gentle and very nice. I use the Active Serum at night only. I follow this with either Hydra-Cool or a bit of HA serum with a drop of Emu Oil in it. Both are soothing and moisturizing. I've used this line for a while, so I am then able to use the Firming Creme on top most nights; if my skin is really burning, I use the Moisturizing Creme instead. The combo of Active Serum/Firming Creme is a heck of a treatment - very strong! In the morning, I use the C Serums for undereyes and face/neck, followed by Youth Serum, and ISC's Treatment Sunscreen. I also use the Poly-Vitamin Serum followed by the Moisturizing Creme, which I substitute for the Active Serum on some nights, depending on my skin. ISC recommends switching their products around every 2-3 months, but I prefer to switch mine on a continuing basis. All of the serums are fabulous and I think you will be very pleased with this line. You might want to order a few samples of Youth Complex. It's an amazing product. Best of luck with ISC! Judy |

They do offer sealed samples on eBay, which is how I tried it. I have to say YC is in my top two products, but some people don't like it. I use it in the a.m., but I've also used it at night following the Active, but before Hydra-Cool. I bought samples and put the contents in a small sterilized jar before investing another $150, and I fell in love with it. This line is expensive, but (thank God) the products do seem to last forever. |

I have purchased all of my IS Clinical products from Ebay. You just have to make sure you find a good seller and be sure to check their feedback. Yes, the products last a long time. They are VERY concentrated, so you don't need much at all. Just remember less is more. |

| Just a thought concerning purchasing IS Clinical on eBay - if the seller does not state the expiration date in the listing, it's probably a good idea to email them and find out what that expiration date is and if the item is sealed. And I couldn't agree more - a little truly does go a long way with these products! |

Great suggestion about the expiration date. I always ask questions prior to bidding, that way if it is not what you expected you won't be out of the money. Some sellers will sell expired items and not put the date purposely in the auction, so be sure to ask. |

| Ooops - I knew there was something I wanted to mention: When you first begin using IS Clinical, please don't start a complete ISC regimen with no let-up. When I began, I added one or two items to my then-current skin care regimen. I would also give my skin "a day off" with just lots of moisture and sunscreen or "a night off with HA/Emu, and a soothing night cream. When my skin had adapted, after a week or so, I added another item, and so on, until I was using all of my ISC products. My sister, after hearing me rave about ISC, ordered pretty much everything they make and began using it ALL. Her skin went crazy (looked like a raisin)- two weeks of nothing but tons of moisture and some Pro-Vitamin and it healed and looked great. The main thing to remember is to take baby steps initially or your skin may "go into shock" like hers did! This is a super-strong line of products, with visible results! And normally, a dime-sized amount of anything they make is plenty for face AND neck. |

After reading all the raves about iS Clinical, I've purchased the followings:

2. active serum
3. Super serum
4. Pro heal serum
5. Hydra cool
6. Youth complex
7. Sunscreen
I am not sure which serum to use in the morning and follow by what. If there are some expertise, please advise on which one to use after cleanser for both morning and night, in order to achieve the best result.
If there is any other products you think I should use, please let me know.
My goal is to even out my skintone, pigmentation at the same time, anti-aging as I am approaching menopause.
Thanks in advance ! |

| I use the Active at night, followed by HydraCool and then Youth Serum. Actually, I am to the point where I now use Firming Complex at night instead of Youth, but Youth seems fairly gentle for new users. I use Super Serum (which contains great antioxidants) on bare skin in the a.m., followed by Youth Complex and Sunscreen. Basically, I use the HydraCool on top of the very active serums to add a moisture boost - they can sting. The Youth Complex is so creamy, it works great as a daytime moisturizer or a night treatment over your serums (after HydraCool). The cleanser is excellent, but very runny, so be careful not to pour alot out at first. So my routine with these products would be: PM: cleanse, Active, HydraCool, Youth Complex. AM: cleanse, Super Serum, Youth Complex, Sunscreen. You can certainly use the HydraCool over the Super in the a.m. or over the Super/Youth layers. And sometimes just HA/Emu Oil seems to soothe my skin better than the HydraCool, which contains menthol. Hope you love this line as much as I do. I can see an amazing difference in my skin, so I know it works. ~ Judy |

Hi all, I've noticed that most IS Clinical users apply the Active Serum at night instead of the morning. Interestingly enough, my dermatologist (well known celebrity derm in Singapore) recommended that I use the Active Serum in the morning. After reading this forum (yes this is my virgin post) I became convinced that the Active Serum was to be used at night and asked my derm why it was recommended for use in the a.m. - her reply was that it was activated by light.
After a bit of online research, I found (on the IS Clinical official webpage no less from this clinical opinion titled "Delivery of Cosmetic Ingredients to the Skin" that the Active Serum is more effective for uneven pigmentation if used in the morning! I'm not sure how it compares to nighttime usage since i've only used it in the morning but so far its been working great for me (it's been a month now). Of course, I wear sunscreen everyday over this - Clarins UV Plus spf 40.
Try it out and let me know what you think! |

i was trying to get some help with this line too. perhaps take a look at the product reviews for this line by using the search function... or because it is your teenage daughter, and a special case, perhaps you can ask a moderator to guide you the right direction.
HTH! |

I also answered you on the products review forum, but this is the best place to get an answer on this subject.
I would suggest Active, Poly, Super or the C & E are all great serums. If you have roscacea, skip the poly.
It depends on your skin, but if you are prone to breakouts, I would go with the Active at night and Proheal in the mornings, both followed by Hydracool. |
