FAQs

Q1. What is the Copper Tripeptide Growth Factor in iS Clinical Youth Intensive Crème and what does it do?
A1. Copper Tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu) is a naturally occurring peptide-copper complex that mimics the growth factor signals generated during wound healing. In the dermis, it activates fibroblasts to synthesise new collagen (Types I and III), elastin, and glycosaminoglycans — the structural proteins and matrix molecules that provide skin firmness, elasticity, and volume. GHK-Cu also possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. As a bioidentical molecule found in young skin at naturally higher concentrations, it is well-tolerated and represents a science-backed ingredient for structural anti-ageing rather than surface-level moisturisation.

Q2. What is Superoxide Dismutase in iS Clinical Youth Intensive Crème?
A2. Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) is an endogenous enzyme that converts superoxide radicals (O₂•⁻) — the primary reactive oxygen species generated by UV exposure, pollution, and normal cellular metabolism — into the less harmful hydrogen peroxide, which is further neutralised. SOD is considered the most efficient single antioxidant enzyme, operating at catalytic speeds that far exceed polyphenol antioxidants. Including SOD topically in iS Clinical Youth Intensive Crème provides antioxidant defence at the enzymatic level, complementing the Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (lipid-soluble Vitamin C ester) that handles the lipid-layer oxidative stress.

Q3. Who is the iS Clinical Youth Intensive Crème most suitable for?
A3. Youth Intensive Crème is best suited for adults over 35 with visible signs of ageing — fine lines, volume loss, dullness, or loss of firmness — particularly those looking to graduate from basic moisturisers to a clinically-dosed treatment moisturiser. Its rich but non-greasy texture makes it appropriate for dry, normal, and mature skin types. It can be used by combination skin types as an evening treatment. iS Clinical formulations are used in clinical and post-procedure settings, meaning the active concentrations are higher than typical cosmetic moisturisers — start with evening use before adding morning application.

Q4. Can Youth Intensive Crème be combined with other iS Clinical serums?
A4. Yes — Youth Intensive Crème is designed as the moisturising final step after serum application in a full iS Clinical routine. Apply actives (such as Active Serum, Pro-Heal Serum Advance+, or Brightening Serum) first to freshly cleansed skin, allow to absorb, then apply Youth Intensive Crème to seal in the treatment and provide additional growth factor stimulation and hydration. In the morning, follow with Eclipse SPF 50+ as the last step.

Q5. Does iS Clinical Youth Intensive Crème help with dark spots or pigmentation on South Asian skin?
A5. Yes — Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (a lipid-soluble, stable Vitamin C ester) in the formula inhibits tyrosinase and reduces melanin production, providing a brightening and pigmentation-reducing effect alongside the anti-ageing benefits. This is particularly relevant for Fitzpatrick III–VI South Asian skin, where photoageing and PIH frequently coexist. For more targeted pigmentation correction, pairing Youth Intensive Crème with iS Clinical White Lightening Complex or Brightening Serum addresses multiple pigmentation pathways simultaneously.
