IMAGE Skincare, a leading professional spa and skincare brand in the United States, recently announced the expansion of its physician-developed, medical-grade IMAGE MD collection with three new clinically proven formulas. These launches build on the existing, award-winning lineup and reinforce the collection's focus on advanced, results-driven, anti-aging skincare.
The new products are designed to protect, soothe, and restore skin due to skin type or following professional treatments such as lasers and chemical peels, helping support sensitive or compromised skin while promoting optimal recovery and resilience.
IMAGE MD Biotech Longevity Crème: A next-generation treatment to enhance the skin's vitality over time. Powered by a NAD+ booster with anti-inflammatory properties and proprietary XOSM™ Technology. This treatment supports skin longevity by defending against the effects of internal and external stressors, facilitating repair functions resulting in visible improvement in wrinkles, rough texture and age spots.
IMAGE MD Barrier Recovery Balm: Designed to mimic the skin's natural lipid barrier composition to accelerate and enhance recovery – whether it's used as a daily treatment or post-procedure. The luxuriously silky, semi-occlusive formula – which has received a National Rosacea Society Seal of Acceptance and National Eczema Association (NEA) Seal of Acceptance – features the brand's proprietary, patent-pending XOSM™ Technology to enhance ingredient performance, along with beta-glucan, colloidal oatmeal, and a 3-in-1 hydration complex to deliver deep comfort and moisture to provide relief from red, scaling skin.
IMAGE MD Gentle Cleansing Balm: Whether the barrier is compromised due to your genetic skin type or professional procedure, caring for your barrier is critical for recovery– and it all starts with your cleanser. This professional grade oil-based cleanser has a balm-to-milk texture and blends grapeseed oil, chamomile, vanilla, and a phyto antioxidant blend to gently remove surface impurities and residue, leaving skin soft, clean, and soothed. Perfect for daily use or as part of post-treatment recovery regimen.
The IMAGE MD collection is available at professional spas and salons, as well as via imageskincare.com.
