111Skin: Science-Led Skincare
Here at Skinstation HQ, we were so excited to add 111SKIN to our list of brands recently. With results driven formulas and an admirable cruelty free ethos, it was the perfect addition. This is clinical skincare with a touch of luxury. If 111SKIN hasn’t been on your radar yet, read on to hear their impressive credentials.
111SKIN was born out of Dr Yannis Alexandrides pioneering surgical work. When the eminent Harley Street surgeon inserted a pure-collagen sponge soaked with an ingredient named NAC under his client’s skin, the results were spectacular. Epidermal strengthening, scar reduction and a radiant, youthful appearance were achieved. He realised however, that not everyone wants surgery to achieve visible improvements. So, with the help of Eva Alexandrides, they made it their mission to create a product line that not only produces incredible anti-ageing results, but also one that targets specific skincare concerns.
Evening Skincare Routine
Cleansing
Use your evening skincare routine to pack in some potent ingredients that work in sync with the skin’s nightly functions. An efficient cleanser will not only lift superficial make-up, dirt and pollutants, but it’ll work on a deeper level too. After cleansing, skin is primed and ready to receive further products. The cleaner the skin, the more efficiently the other products can work. Meet 111SKIN Cryo Pre-activated Toning Cleanser. Whilst its name may sound 21st century, this is a beautifully gentle dual-action cleanser with powerful effects. When used, its ingredients activate synergistically, and skin is left glowing and rejuvenated. The ‘Cryo’ part is because it mimics the refreshing and detoxifying effects that occur when we experience extremely cold sensations.
So, the million-dollar question. Why is it so effective? It certainly contains a bevy of beautifying, power-packed ingredients loved by skincare gurus everywhere. Fruit extracts simultaneously exfoliate skin whilst protecting against dryness. Pomegranate resurfaces and retextures skin, leaving pores refined and fine lines diminished. A lesser-known ingredient, Ribose is a form of sugar derived from corn seeds. Its role is to increase cell metabolism and energise skin. Tego Natural Betaine reduces trans epidermal water loss, leaving skin hydrated and thoroughly nourished.
111SKIN Cryo Pre-activated Toning Cleanser is a highly advanced, simple to use product. Massage two pumps onto damp skin, then rinse with warm water. You might get a surprise when you do this! The pre-activated formula turns into a milky toner on contact with water, tightening the skin without leaving it feeling dry or taught.
