Cosmedix Philosophy


  The Cosmedix philosophy is based around the principal that inflammation is the core cause of all skin conditions.  Skin cancer, hyperpigmentation, photodamage, rosacea, etc, all have free radicals/inflammation at their core.  Traditional skincare lines have primarily selected ingredients that create inflammation when addressing these common skincare problems (artificial colors and fragrances, artificial preservatives, sodium lauryl sulfate, benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid, etc).  We, at Cosmedix, took it a step further by not only removing the irritants but making the majority of our active ingredients less irritationg.  This is done by a process called chiral correction (explained later).

When we avoid increasing the inflammation in the skin with irritants we have already begun to improve those conditions. In additions, we use a very high concentration of active ingredients that communicate with the skin and work with its natural ability to repair itself.  The combination makes Cosmedix the premiere skincare line in the world. Cosmedix is proud to be on the cutting edge of nutrition and the skin as well.  We know that many skin conditions arise from internal toxicity, altered chemistry or immune system "malfunction" and such conditions should be addressed when trying to improve skin health.  For this reason Cosmedix has added innovative antioxidant, pH balancing and detox related products to assist in treating common skin conditions.  The results have been fantastic.

Continuing on the philosophy of reducing inflammation, we developed the Correct Peels.  These unique  peels are designed to stimulate change in the skin without creating massive destruction.  Traditional skincare lines will utilize harsh acids that are designed to annihilate the skin in an effort to get change/improvement.  While we have some traditional peels, our passion is in the development of non-traumatic, stimulating peels.  The theory is simple.
