All intensive skincare products are at-home treatments that are intended to provide perceivable benefits similar to those achieved in a dermatologist’s office. The line is targeted to women who want to repair visible signs of aging quickly without having to visit a dermatologist for an intensive treatment or procedure. The initial product launched for this new category is an at-home self-neutralising facial peel: ARTISTRY INTENSIVE SKINCARE Renewing Peel.

The new ARTISTRY INTENSIVE SKINCARE Anti-Wrinkle Firming Serum contains a powerful anti-aging ingredient, pure Retinol (Vitamin A). For the first time, a breakthrough, patented technology, discovered by researchers at a top U.S. university, combines Retinol with gentle, calming extracts to provide strengthening, firming, and visible benefits while reducing potential irritation. Skin appears younger, firmer and rejuvenated with a smoother look and feel. Users will begin seeing results in two weeks and dramatic results with continued use.

The recommended use for the INTENSIVE SKINCARE Anti-Wrinkle Firming Serum is on alternate nights the first two weeks. It can then be used as a daily skin care product. It is to be used in the evening following cleansing of the face with a mild cleanser and the optional use of a toner. During the usage period of this product, the user should be sure to use daily UVA/UVB protection because skin may become more sensitive to sunlight.

The INTENSIVE SKINCARE Anti-Wrinkle Firming Serum should be stored in a cool, dry place and out of direct sunlight. Keep the tube capped tightly. It is not required to refrigerate the product.

The INTENSIVE SKINCARE Anti-Wrinkle Firming Serum has been thoroughly tested on groups of individuals representing all skin types. There was no evidence of allergy response or extreme skin irritation. However, we recognise that no testing programme can assure that no one will ever develop minor reactions. Since no major clinical irritation was observed in our extensive testing programme, we would expect reactions to be limited to minor tingling sensations, a slight stinging or redness lasting for a few minutes. Each person’s tolerance to these sensations is different.

The INTENSIVE SKINCARE Anti-Wrinkle Firming Serum contains an effective amount of pure retinol. It is the first time in the ARTISTRY brand that one formula combines three of the most potent collagen-boosting ingredients: retinol, vitamin C, peptides. In fact, the ARTISTRY formula has a first and only technology called Targeting Complex that delivers the retinol to the specific skin receptor sites where it can do the most effective collagen-boosting.

It is intended that the INTENSIVE SKINCARE line will contain many intensive treatment products that will provide benefits similar to those seen in a dermatologist’s office.

INTENSIVE SKINCARE Anti-Wrinkle Firming Serum has completed internal stability testing in the package and, unopened, has a three-year shelf life. Once opened and used, its use should be completed within 10 to 12 weeks. It should be stored in a cool, dry place and out of direct sunlight. It is not required to refrigerate the product. If exposed to extreme heat, the product may become darker in colour and may lose some effectiveness depending on the period of exposure to heat.

Retinol is an especially intensive treatment ingredient with a long history of use in anti-aging products. For most consumers, it is necessary to build up a tolerance to the use of this ingredient. Therefore, it is recommended that it be used initially on alternate nights for the first two weeks of use. After that initial use period, the product may be used daily, in the evening, in accordance with use instructions.

Use of an intensive Retinol product that will remodel the skin will often leave the skin more sensitive to the sun. Thus, it is recommended that users employ a broad spectrum sunscreen product to protect the skin from the damaging UV rays of the sun after use.

It should not be applied directly onto the eye area, or the eyelids. If one gets the product into the eye, it should be rinsed out immediately.

The product should be used at night, after cleansing and toning (optional). The recommended order of use is:
When used in the evening:
Step 1 - ARTISTRY Cleanser,
Step 2 - ARTISTRY Toner (optional),
Step 3 - INTENSIVE SKINCARE Anti-Wrinkle Firming Serum,
Step 4 - ARTISTRY Moisturiser
We recommend that you customise your skin care regimen to meet the individual needs of your skin.

Volunteers with all types of skin were tested in safety and efficacy clinical trials without experiencing the extreme irritation associated with a retinoid product. But everyone’s skin is different. It is possible some individuals may experience minor redness and/or stinging. If redness persists, it is recommended that you wait additional days between applications. Discontinue use if persistent redness, burning or stinging occurs.

Best use of INTENSIVE SKINCARE Anti-Wrinkle Firming Serum is after use of a mild ARTISTRY cleanser and optional toner. It should be followed by one’s night time moisturiser.

ARTISTRY INTENSIVE SKINCARE Anti-Wrinkle Firming Serum was clinically tested on and is suitable for all skin types.

ARTISTRY INTENSIVE SKINCARE Anti-Wrinkle Firming Serum was developed for individuals 30 years and older, who are currently users of a skin care regimen, wanting help in preventing and repairing signs of aging. Those experiencing lines, wrinkles and loss of firmness will receive the greatest benefit.

Age is not the determining factor for this product use. Younger consumers, aged 25 and older, with early signs of aging may also benefit from the use of this product.

ARTISTRY INTENSIVE SKINCARE Anti-Wrinkle Firming Serum contains pure Retinol (Vitamin A) at an effective level to re-model the appearance of the skin by providing both firming and visible anti-wrinkle benefits. In addition to Retinol, one of the most recommended anti-aging ingredients, we have blended Vitamin C and Peptides into this highly concentrated and potent
formula for additional collagen-boosting power.

It also contains ingredients called EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor) inhibitors that are used to help reduce the potential negative effects of retinoid treatment. Additionally, it also contains natural extracts to help soothe the skin after product application.

The fragrance is described as herbal citrus floral. The main top herbal notes are Basil and Clary Sage, with fruit notes such as Mandarin, Orange and Grapefruit, middle notes include Orange flower, Rose and Jasmine, the bottom notes are Woody Musk.

ARTISTRY INTENSIVE SKINCARE Anti-Wrinkle Firming Serum contains natural squalane, which is derived from shark liver oil.

The INTENSIVE SKINCARE Anti-Wrinkle Firming Serum formula does not contain any wheat ingredients. But it does contain an oat derivative, so we would not characterise this product as gluten-free.

Clinical and consumer testing conducted on ARTISTRY INTENSIVE SKINCARE Anti-Wrinkle Firming Serum showed significant improvement after just two weeks of use.

The benefits of INTENSIVE SKINCARE Anti-Wrinkle Firming Serum will last with continued use of the product and the use of one’s regular skincare regimen to help maintain results. Of course, results depend on exposure to sun, free radicals, and damaging environmental aggressors.

After eight weeks of use, the product delivers the following additional benefits to aging skin: significant improvement in fine lines, firmness, sagging and even deep wrinkles.

The INTENSIVE SKINCARE Anti-Wrinkle Firming Serum can be easily integrated into your current ARTISTRY skincare regimen. Used in the evening, it fulfils the Step 3 Treatment step. Apply after cleansing and toning and before your nighttime moisturiser.

Generally, we do not recommend that any cosmetic product be used after a “bad” sunburn or any treatment that causes extreme inflammation. The product should only be used after inflammation has subsided. For use after chemical peel or laser treatment, one should consult a physician.

Safety studies of cosmetics are not conducted on pregnant women. Whether to use or not use this product or other consumer products like coffee, aspirin, etc. should be discussed with your doctor.

The INTENSIVE SKINCARE Anti-Wrinkle Firming Serum is not recommended for use directly in the eye area or on the eyelids. If one gets the product in the eye, it should be rinsed out immediately.

INTENSIVE SKINCARE 14 Night Restore Program, INTENSIVE SKINCARE Advanced Skin Refinisher, INTENSIVE SKINCARE Renewing Peel and ARTISTRY Polishing Exfoliant.

Use of these products in combination with the INTENSIVE SKINCARE Anti-Wrinkle Firming Serum has not been clinically tested and everyone’s skin is different. Customise your skin care regimen to meet the individual needs of your skin.
