Cosmedix - Chirally Correct Skin Care

Cosmedix skin care is a range of products that are medically based and contain active ingredients to noticeably change and improve your skin. Whether you have problems with pigmentation, pores, acne, redness, dullness, or just want better skin, Cosmedix will have a product that will improve and enhance your skin.

At The Victorian Cosmetic Institute, our doctors or nurses will tailor a Cosmedix skin care regime to suit your skin. This is an important part of the process and in order to find a combination to suit your skin, you will need to book an assessment with one of our medical staff.

There are some generalised routines for cosmedix you can follow below, but these are a guide only. A proper assessment will ensure a regime that is more closely suited to your skin type.

Rosacea

AM: Use Benefit clean, Affirm, Reflect or Protect if some moisture is needed.

Cosmedix retinoids tend to be quite irritating on rosacea prone skin. We tend to recommend products such as Osmosis' Mend and Calm or Rationale's Skin refining serum and Retinaldehyde instead for Rosacea prone skin.
Gemini laser treatments are required for broken capillaires.
Consider mineral make-up to reduce sensitivity of skin and rosacea.

Sensitive skin

AM: Use Benefit clean, Affirm with Pure C (if tolerated), Reflect or Serious/ Pure Protection, Emulsion if skin is dry, Phytoharmony or Phytoclear if skin is not dry.
PM: Use Benefit  clean, Affirm with Pure C (once AM dose is tolerated), Emulsion if skin is dry, Phytoharmony or Phytoclear if skin not dry.
Cosmedix retinoids tend to be quite irritating on rosacea prone skin. We tend to recommend products such as Osmosis' Mend and Calm or Rationale's Skin refining serum and Retinaldehyde instead for sensitive skin.
Not for peels.

Pigmented skin

AM: Use Purity cleanser, Purity balance with Pure C, Lightening or Lightening MD, Serious / Pure protection, moisturiser of your choice.
PM: Use Purity cleanser, Refine 4%, moisturiser or your choice.
Consider Kligman's formula instead of Lightening/Lightening MD/Refine 4% (prescription required from doctor) especially if pigmentation is hormonal (melasma/chloasma)
Consider laser for pigmentation including the Medlite and Gemini Lasers.
Consider a mineral make-up for added SPF protection.
These recommendations may not suit sensitive skin. 
Due to the wide range of selections in the Cosmedix range, it is best for you to have an assessment of your skin by one of our medical staff to tailor a custom-made program suited to your skin. Some of the products, especially those containing retinols (refine 4%, refine 8%, define, and refine MD), as well as the Cosmedix Peels are best used under medical supervision and advice.
