Every cleanser should accomplish three things; it should be able to effectively remove environmental pollutants and makeup, it should not over-strip the lipids or over-exfoliate the skin as both of those effects are damaging to the skin and lead to more inflammation, finally, it should contain no irritants including sodium lauryl sulfate and other artificial additives. Cleanse does all of this very well.

There is a good reason why many people choose the strategy of “more is better”…it is because most skincare has so little effect on the skin, they just want to see results. Since the entire line of Osmosis products uses “more”, Boost might be best classified as “the most”. This serum concentrate has double of most of the active ingredients found in Renew. For many people this serum will cause significant exfoliation if not used in moderation. Remember that exfoliating skin is compromised skin so we use this product to boost results in the area of stubborn lines, scars and significantly damaged skin. It can be added to any serum on a daily or less frequent basis. Utilizes maximum doses of the key remodeling ingredients from the line to enhance the effects of every serum. Boost can be added to any kit or used individually. It contains 0.2% Retinaldehyde as well as many other collagen/elastin stimulating ingredients. It is also good for stubborn acne and enlarged pores.

Most people think of Rosacea and Sensitive skin as conditions that require non-active products because of their tendency to over-react. The important distinction is that these skin types need non-irritating, active ingredients to remodel their damaged skin in a way that promotes healing. Both Rosacea and Sensitive skin are the result of inflammation and it is therefore critical to use ingredients that remodel, repair and calm so that skin health is restored. (see Vitamin A info). The capillaries (and redness) that are often seen reflect two coexisting conditions; the skin is attempting to repair itself by increasing blood supply to certain areas, and, over time, the skin thins from the excessive inflammation which results in more capillaries being revealed. Calm is designed to increase the density of the skin (which covers capillaries) while calming the inflammation and encouraging repair in a non-irritating fashion. The liposomes vastly improve penetration while restoring the health of the barrier.  An intact barrier is a critical component of the restoration process of Rosacea. In addition, research shows that liposomes reduce excess oil production, improve the health of the skin barrier and assist in wound healing. Eleven active, liposome coated ingredients including Retinaldehyde (which has been proven in independent research to be highly effective for Rosacea), make this product superior to anything else on the market. Another exciting component of Calm is its ability to help remove scar tissue. 1,3 Beta Glucan increases macrophage activity thereby assisting in scar removal. The late stages of Rosacea are associated with the addition of “phyma” or scar tissue. This serum is the only product that addresses every aspect of the condition effectively. One Serum: Calms redness, clears acne, thickens thinning dermis, removes scar tissue (phyma), minimizes telangectasias, normalizes oil, restores epidermal barrier health...one serum.

There are a lot of opinions on what is safe and what isn’t when it comes to sunscreens and sunblocks. Unfortunately, there is still not a definitive answer but this is why we believe we have the best moisturizing sunblock. It appears that both titanium and zinc will oxidize in the skin and create inflammation above and beyond the sun exposure unless the particles are coated with silica (like Osmosis). Research suggests that there may be toxicity associated with micronized and specifically nano-sized titanium and zinc as their penetration into the blood is possible, but Osmosis believes that the silica coating makes the particles inert and therefore inactive/non-toxic in the serum (if any should reach that far). Micronized zinc reflects light significantly better and has a broader UV protection spectrum than any form of titanium. Lastly, Shelter is truly a moisturizer as well as having some of the most active antioxidants in the skin!

The best way to reduce oil and/or bacterial overgrowth is to target oil glands with ingredients that do not traumatize the skin. Remember, Glycolic and other acids damage, over-exfoliate and dehydrate the skin resulting in more oil production. Trauma (inflammation) stimulates oil so other artificial ingredients like Benzoyl Peroxide work against your skin and ultimately result in rebound acne. Additionally, acne sufferers already have scar-proned skin because of all the inflammation so overly aggressive treatments will worsen their scarring. Osmosis’ formula uses purified and highly active oil and bacteria reducers along with calming aryuvedic herbs to provide rapid results that are actually good for the skin. Acneic skin is constantly attempting to repair itself as most blemishes leave residual scar tissue. The combination of treating acne while repairing acne scars just makes sense. Steroids, Benzoyl Peroxide, antibiotics and most lasers slow remodeling (by depleting antioxidants and/or nutrients from blood supply) thus worsening the potential for scars because they interfere with the natural remodeling process. Osmosis’ unique formula stimulates capillary flow (blood supply), thus feeding the skin its essential nutrients while stimulating fibroblasts for remodeling with Retinaldehyde-liposome. In fact, all of the active ingredients are liposome-coated to penetrate into the skin and through the sebum more effectively. Liposomes have also been shown to reduce oil production and acne by as much as 70% in one month and that is without any other active ingredients being present! While Retin A and other retinols can be used for acne, Retinaldehyde-liposome is the ideal choice for the following reasons; it is readily absorbed by the skin and follicle which does not occur with any other retinol (see Vitamin A info), two, it does not over-stimulate like Retin A which results in redness and irritation, and three, it is approximately 500 times stronger than Retinol and equally as strong as Retin A without irritation. Clarify uses 14 potent blemish-reduducing ingredients (including aryuvedic herbs) that are all liposome coated to penetrate into the follicle and restore the health of the skin.  ONE SERUM: Clears acne, normalizes oil, shrinks pores, increases skin’s immune support, remodels scarring, hydrates, calms inflammation, protects skin from UV rays, restores epidermal barrier, restores dermal thickness…one serum.

The skincare world is filled with products for this condition that simply do not work. Usually this is due to one of three factors. One, the companies use one or two active ingredients at percentages that just do not get it done; two, the companies use ingredients that test well in labs, but in the skin, have much less effect (like Kojic Acid); or three, the companies ingredients are inflammatory resulting in a rebound effect that negates any lightening effects. It is quite common for treatments of skin discoloration to have traumatizing ingredients. Logically, knowing that trauma (inflammation) is a leading cause of pigmentation, it makes no sense to use ingredients like Hydroquinone that stimulate pigment (through inflammation) while attempting to lighten it. Ingredients like Arbutin show promise initially, but quickly oxidize in a solution making them much less effective. Additionally, because the skin wants to produce pigment to protect itself, it has shown a great ability to work around the (tyrosinase inhibiting) effects of many lighteners. Osmosis has developed an exclusive formula that utilizes 12 of the most advanced, natural lightening agents, all of which resist the skin’s efforts to make pigment. By using multiple lightening agents, Enlighten reduces the skin’s ability to work around the tyrosinase inhibitors because each lightener uses a slightly different method on the melanocyte and they all work together with great synergy. The results are phenomenal. It quickly evens skin tone and fades hyperpigmentation while promoting skin health restoration. The powerful activity of Enlighten is due to a skin remodeling ingredient (Retinaldehyde-liposome), multiple antioxidants and many lighteners (including Paper Mulberry) working synergistically to normalize skin tones. The nano-sized liposomes coating every active ingredient enhance penetration while protecting these delicate lighteners from oxidation. Our nano-liposome technology protects all 12 of the actives including Paper Mulberry (which was shown to be 10 times more potent than Hydroquinone) and dramatically improves penetration to their target, the melanocyte. It is also safe for use with pregnancy. ONE SERUM: Dramatically lightens the skin, has nine liposome-coated tyrosinase inhibitors, remodels scar tissue, restores barrier health, calms inflammation, remodels scarring from photodamage, restores dermal thickness, hydrates, protects against UV rays…one serum.

Everyone has had some level of sun damage over their lifetime and skin health restoration is critical for the prevention of aging both in younger individuals as well as more damaged skin types. To accomplish this, two things must be stimulated; fibroblast activity and blood flow to the skin. Fibroblasts stimulate collagen, elastin, and GAG’s which are all critical to repairing skin density and the overall look and quality of the skin. In addition, the skin’s activity, repair capabilities and appearance are totally dependent on nutrients, antioxidants and immune support from its blood supply. The more blood supply, the better the health of the skin in every category. The unique ingredients in this serum work better on these issues than any other ingredients on the market. Retinaldehyde- liposome, as an example, is the most active retinol available without prescription. While prescription Retin A can be as effective, it is over-irritating to the skin which adds to the workload and makes it less than optimal. Retinaldehyde-lipsome, on the other hand, is extremely active in generating blood flow and stimulating fibroblasts without the irritation because it penetrates (see Vitamin A info). Many “anti-aging” products contain peptides. Since our research shows they only plump the skin and have no effect on collagen and elastin, we do not really consider these treatment ingredients. However, we use Argirilene in addition to our 6 collagen stimulators because a little plumping is also nice. We believe that 6 fibroblast stimulators (makers of collagen, elastin, GAG’s) are better than one as we are trying to stimulate collagen in every way possible. Osmosis likes to think of it as “saturating” the skin with remodelers. ONE SERUM: Restores dermal thickness, remodels scarring from photodamage, increases skin’s nutrient and immune support, protects skin from UV rays, restores the epidermal barrier, hydrates, normalizes oil, clears acne, reduces fine lines, shrinks pore size…one serum.

The perfect Vitamin C solution! First, only chirally corrected L-ascorbic acid is used. Second, since C has been proven to have a 2% absorption rate, we coated it in our liposome which increases penetration 1000%. Third, we deliver it in a powder so that the fresh application (when mixed with our serums)  never oxidizes!  Finally, we added the powerful L-glutathione to maximize antioxidant protection. The end result is a maximum strength, non-oxidized, penetrating Vitamin C that does not irritate the skin for those same reasons.

Antioxidants are produced by the body to work in your skin 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Inflammation (which utilizes antioxidants) can result from stress, what you eat, most lighting sources and, of course, excessive sun exposure. This results in a slow degradation of the quality and thickness of the skin because the antioxidants cannot keep up with the rate of damage (aka “aging”). It is essential to reduce this aging process at all times of the day which is why this product is such a necessity. Replenish combines the most effective antioxidants, purified to their most active state (chirally corrected), coated in nano-liposome technology, all in a potent formula that addresses all of the different types of free radicals created in your skin. The key to this serum’s effectiveness is the use of natural, chirally corrected antioxidants that the skin recognizes because it utilizes them everyday through its natural defenses. Rather than interfering with the natural process of repair, Replenish, with its high percentage of active ingredients, works perfectly with its antioxidant partners in the skin. The formula is enhanced by nanotechnology using liposome coating on every one of the 17 powerful antioxidants. This liposome protects the delicate antioxidants, improves the penetration dramatically (which makes every antioxidant much more effective) while hydrating and protecting the skin.

Occasionally while using Osmosis, you may feel the need to exfoliate departing skin more quickly. Polish is a mild, exfoliating enzyme mask that that gives the skin a smooth, healthy appearance with each application by the use of raspberry and protein enzymes and small amounts of l-lactic acid. It also uses silk proteins and whey to hydrate and firm the skin. The end result is silky smooth and toned skin…perfect for a night out.  Using fruit and other gentle enzymes, Polish is designed to remove only the exfoliating epidermal layers by primarily cleaving protein (keratin) and minimizing lipid removal. In addition, Polish provides a firming effect that lasts for many hours which leaves your skin firm, smooth and radiant.
