ICON SKIN cosmeceuticals are a professional line of facial skin care products developed by specialists in France and Japan.ICON SKIN includes two series: professional products for cosmetic procedures in beauty salons, as well as a series for home care. All products are combined into several Systems. Today in Russia there are two lines of products, grouped by skin type and by the degree of problematic:1) " ICON SKIN Re: Program " - a system of products for oily, combination and problem skin, which requires acne therapy, reduction of enlarged pores and oily sheen, leveling of skin microrelief. 2) " ICON SKIN Hydro: Matrix " - for dehydrated skin and skin prone to dryness, where the task is to restore the hydro-lipid balance. Regulates the process of transepidermal moisture loss, fights wrinkles and prevents premature skin aging.The main operating principle of the System : ICON SKIN "teaches the skin" to work normally independently, restoring all the processes necessary for this in the epidermis. Mechanism of work : the products of the System act on the epidermis gently and in a balanced manner. As a result, the deeper layers of the skin receive the "correct" signals and, in response, restore the work of natural mechanisms.Time factor : the first clear results of positive changes on the skin can be seen within a few days after using ICON SKIN products. For the full potential of the System to unfold, the skin needs to go through two natural renewal cycles. On average, this takes two months. You can then use supportive standard basic care.THE HISTORY OF FORMATION OF SCIENTIFIC METHODOLOGY OF WORKING WITH SKIN OF ICON SKIN SYSTEMFor over 15 years Dr. Chiaki Kawashima (a member of the Japan Association of Dermatologists, the Society for Aesthetic Dermatology, the Japanese Society of Cosmetology and Aesthetic Surgery, and a researcher at ASLMS (American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery) has studied the pathogenesis of acne and developed a methodology for working with problem skin.At the same time, the largest manufacturers of assets and formulas could already provide basic products that could perform a wide range of targeted, and in some cases, complex effects on the epidermis: cleansing pores, dissolving keratin plugs, inactivating pathogenic flora, restoring skin micro-relief, healing, moisturizing, etc.But it was obvious that a single product or even a set of products cannot effectively solve the problems of skin care until the causes of the pathogenesis of acne problems have not been fully studied and a scientifically substantiated methodology for influencing human skin with means where, along with active substances, are absent inflammatory provocateurs: comedogenic agents, alcohols, hormones, antibiotics, parabens, SLS / SLES, etc.That moment came when, in early 2017, Dr. Kawashima has partnered with the American Dermatology Association to establish the Gold Standard for Acne Therapy. In fact, for the first time, a technique appeared for a complex effect on all links in the pathogenesis of acne, taking into account the neutralization of pathogenic factors and the absence of substances that cause inflammatory processes in the compositions of funds.It remained only to select the means and prescribe the necessary stages of their application.This is how the first system of ICON the SKIN the R an e: P rogram - System products for problematic, oily and combination skin care ", which was presented by the International "Intrercharm 2017 exhibition." And then - ICON SKIN Hydro: Matrix - a system of products for dehydrated and prone to dry skin, which restores the skin's hydrolipid mantle, moisturizes and rejuvenates. This series also smoothes out wrinkles caused by lack of moisture.
