Frequently Asked Questions

Your questions answered about iS Clinical EDU and its resources for skincare professionals.

Antioxidants are molecules that help neutralize free radicals, which can contribute to visible skin aging. In cosmetics, they help protect the skin’s surface from environmental damage and support a radiant appearance.

Common antioxidants in iS Clinical formulations include vitamin C, vitamin E, olive leaf extract, and Extremozymes®. These ingredients work synergistically to help maintain youthful-looking, resilient skin.

Antioxidants provide essential environmental defense and support visible radiance. Including them in all formulations helps strengthen the skin’s resilience and enhance overall appearance with consistent use.

Yes. Lipid-soluble and water-soluble antioxidants function in different environments within the skin’s surface layers, so including both types provides more comprehensive coverage. A formulation that contains only one type may leave certain areas of the skin’s surface without adequate antioxidant support. This course explains how iS Clinical addresses this through its formulation approach and why this balance matters for delivering visible, consistent results across diverse skin types.

Antioxidants help defend the skin from visible effects of environmental stressors like sunlight and pollution. Applying them in the morning supports a brighter, healthier-looking complexion throughout the day.
