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.
Cosmedix is a line of skin care products that strives to produce healthy skin without the irritation that is common in other skin care brands. Many products include ingredients such as acids that strip away layers of skin in order to reveal the fresh skin underneath. This can lead to severe skin irritation and redness for some people. Cosmedix uses effective ingredients that are safe and overall beneficial to allow skin to look and feel fabulous without irritation.
The calming and nourishing effects of Cosmedix are achieved by using ingredients that are chirally proportionate. Ingredients that are chirally correct are those that have been processed to retain only the properties that do not cause irritation. By maximizing the potential of molecules that react with the skin in a positive manner, the likelihood for adverse reactions is greatly minimized. The result is skin that is devoid of redness and irritation.
Cosmedix is recognized within the cosmetics industry pioneer in the area of chirally appropriate skin care. The Cosmedix line of skincare is consistently recommended by skin care experts such as dermatologists, cosmetic surgeons and physicians because of its ability to enhance the treatment results. It is free from common irritants such as artificial colors and unnecessary preservatives. Because of the scientific breakthroughs utilized in the formulation of Cosmedix products, the active ingredients in the formulas are at the highest concentration of any other product on the market. This allows users to achieve positive results in a relatively short period of time without redness or irritation.
Cosmedix is an effective treatment for those who suffer from common age-related skin problems such as fine lines, wrinkles and age spots. Its active ingredients are also helpful in reducing hyper pigmentation and acne scars, and can help to reduce redness and brighten the complexion. While the chemistry behind the formulations might seem complex, the goal of Cosmedix is quite simple: to help users achieve the glowing, radiant skin that nature intended. This is achieved by reducing the number of irritating additives by increasing the concentration of chirally correct ingredients to produce skin that is healthy.

At The Victorian Cosmetic Institute, our doctors or nurses can 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.
