When we’re choosing which products to stock and recommend at Novaes, we don’t take it lightly. It’s not just about what’s trending or what looks good on a shelf - it’s about integrity, science, and long-term trust.
iS Clinical has earned its place as our core skincare range because, quite simply, it does what it says. But more importantly, it does so with an incredible foundation of research, innovation and clinical credibility.
​
I’ve personally spent months researching skincare brands before making this decision - not just reading marketing blurbs, but diving into white papers, peer-reviewed studies and clinical trial data.
iS Clinical stood out from the noise because it consistently blends the best of nature with cutting-edge pharmaceutical science. It’s that intersection - where high-quality botanical ingredients meet pharmaceutical-grade formulation - that makes this range different.
​
Formulas You Can Trust
One of the things that impresses me most about iS Clinical is how thoroughly they test their products.
We’re not talking small observational trials or claims without substance - these are robust clinical studies with measurable results. For example, in a double-blind clinical study, their Pro-Heal Serum Advance+ demonstrated significant reductions in erythema and inflammation in rosacea-prone skin, using a potent yet balanced combination of vitamins C, E, A, and olive leaf extract.
​
Their Youth Complex, which uses a patented combination of peptides, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants, has been shown to increase skin hydration by up to 85% within 24 hours in clinical settings - and more importantly, it sustains those results over time.
These aren’t just cosmetic benefits - they’re functional, cellular improvements.
​
Pharmaceutical-Grade Ingredients - Why That Matters
This is a term that gets thrown around a lot in the skincare world, but in the case of iS Clinical, it’s not a buzzword.
Pharmaceutical-grade means the ingredients meet the strictest standards for purity, potency and consistency - the same criteria applied to prescription medications. That means each active is present in its most stable, bioavailable form, at a concentration proven to be effective, and without contamination or fillers.
​
That matters for results, but it also matters for safety - especially when treating compromised skin. And iS Clinical does this all without parabens, synthetic fragrances or harsh preservatives. There’s a level of discipline in their formulation approach that I really respect.
​
Powered by Botanicals, Guided by Science
A large part of the iS Clinical range is powered by botanical actives - not because it sounds nice on the label, but because the research supports it.
Ingredients like extremozymes (extracted from plants that thrive in extreme climates), bilberry, willow bark and centella asiatica are chosen for their resilience and reparative properties. These aren’t just gentle alternatives - they’re potent, clinically studied compounds with real biological activity.
​
For example, their use of extremozymes has been shown in lab studies to protect and repair DNA damage in skin cells caused by UV exposure. That’s not just marketing fluff - it’s real, lab-confirmed cellular defence. And it’s these sorts of findings that make iS Clinical such a reliable partner in long-term skin health.
​
Safe for Sensitive, Compromised Skin and Oncology Patients
Another major reason we’ve committed to iS Clinical at Novaes is its unmatched safety profile.
These products are suitable for use during pregnancy, and for patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy. This isn’t something many professional skincare lines can claim - and it speaks volumes about their formulation integrity.
When a brand is safe enough for compromised skin, that tells you everything you need to know about its gentleness, stability, and trustworthiness.
​
Why It’s the Right Fit for Novaes
At Novaes, we’re not interested in short-term fixes or marketing fads. We’re about evidence-based care, long-term skin health and genuine results. iS Clinical aligns with that completely.
Whether you’re looking to reduce pigmentation, calm inflammation, improve hydration or prevent premature ageing, this is a range that delivers results without compromising your skin’s integrity.
​
