You don’t achieve a healthy skin with a single treatment. With our proven holistic approach, we ensure that you achieve radiant skin through a combination of treatments, good home care, and a healthy lifestyle. That’s why we always recommend using the right home care products.
Cosmeceuticals are not the same as cosmetics found in drugstores. The effects of cosmeceuticals go beyond regular cosmetics, which merely “care for” the skin. This is due to the percentage of active ingredients in the product. Due to legal regulations, there is a limit to the amount of active ingredients allowed in over-the-counter products. Cosmeceuticals are products that are based on scientific research. These products contain high, active percentages of ingredients and thus approach the effectiveness of medications.
Examples of such ingredients include: vitamin A, also known as retinol, vitamin C, glycolic acid, hyaluronic acid, and SPF. Cosmeceuticals can be seen as a step between drugstore products and medications, with scientific research preceding their development.
Due to the extensive and costly research into the effects and safety of cosmeceuticals, as well as the high percentages of ingredients, the price of these products is higher than that of most drugstore cosmetics. While there are also very expensive luxury brands among them with products that look very beautiful, they may not contain enough active ingredients. Due to the results that cosmeceuticals deliver, the use of them is more than worth the investment.
Cosmeceuticals create and maintain healthy skin. In a healthy skin, injectables such as botulinum toxin and fillers last longer. This means you need fewer injectables and can enjoy the results for a longer period of time. SPF and antioxidants protect your skin from sun damage. Sun damage not only ages your skin but can also cause malignant skin conditions such as skin cancer.
If you perform a mini-spa treatment for your skin with cosmeceuticals twice a day, you maintain the results of professional treatments. This way, you can enjoy your radiant, younger-looking skin even longer!
Only use cosmeceuticals on the advice of a skin therapist or doctor. These experts can tell you exactly which products are suitable for your skin and how to use them. Cosmeceuticals may not always be suitable for use during pregnancy, so make sure to get informed. Our experts are ready to provide you with personalized advice. Feel free to drop by or make an appointment, and we’ll take the time to assist you.
At Amsterdam Cosmetic Clinic, you can find home care products from:
Dr. Zein Obagi, a Syrian-American dermatologist, researcher, scientist, educator, and published author, is the founder and medical director of ZO Skin Health, based in Beverly Hills, California.
Dr. Zein Obagi does not view skin problems as isolated conditions but approaches them from a holistic perspective to achieve a healthy and well-functioning skin. With over 20 years of experience in skin improvement, Dr. Zein Obagi has developed protocols for treating wrinkles, pigmentation issues, acne, and redness.
ZO Skin Health stands for skin improvement in both medical and non-medical ways, with extensive clinically proven results. A healthy skin begins with healthy cell turnover. ZO Skin Health products contain therapeutic ingredients that work at a cellular level in the skin. These ingredients reach both the epidermis and the dermis with the aim of combating symptoms and restoring overall skin health!
Age, genetics, external influences (UV radiation, pollution), stress, hormones, sleep patterns, and skincare all play a role in skin health. The good news: with a balanced lifestyle and effective skincare products, you can build a healthy skin.
Unlike traditional anti-aging skincare products, ZO Skin Health works at a cellular level to care for, repair, and maintain the skin. The ‘ZO Saturation Program’ helps create optimal skin health by applying multiple layers of retinol, antioxidants, peptides, and vitamins to accelerate skin recovery and improvement. Dr. Obagi recommends a 5-step program (Cleanse, Activate, Stimulate, Calm + Nourish, Protect), using products that are truly unique.
SkinCeuticals is a medical aesthetic American skincare brand sold worldwide. The brand is recommended and used by dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and skin therapists.
The high-quality and effective SkinCeuticals brand offers an efficient home care line. The products contribute to healthy skin. We offer the products for various purposes at Amsterdam Cosmetic Clinic.
SkinCeuticals’ mission is to improve skin health by providing advanced skincare backed by science.
The development of their powerful formulas has been preceded by decades of scientific research on skin cancer. Crucial breakthroughs in antioxidants have resulted in unique formulas, concentrated in pure active ingredients that have been proven to penetrate the skin optimally.
SkinCeuticals clinical skincare is made in the United States. The products are used by cosmetic doctors, dermatologists, plastic surgeons, skin therapists, and medical spas as a complement to aesthetic treatments. SkinCeuticals products help correct skin aging, protect the skin, and prevent future damage.
The skin-improving treatment creams from the Spanish brand Skin Tech have been developed by a dermatologist to treat, nourish, hydrate, and/or protect your skin effectively. They can be used as part of a peeling regimen but also work well when used individually.
The creams are available for treating various indications and skin types, ensuring that there is always a cream that suits your needs.
The creams from SkinTech enhance the effects of a peel and help your skin recover properly. Because your skin is highly sensitive after a peel, we strongly recommend using only SkinTech creams during this time. This helps prevent potential complications such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
The skin therapist will discuss with you the necessary preparatory treatment before starting the peel regimen. This preparation contributes to achieving optimal results from the peel regimen.
