SkinMedica is one of the most popular aesthetic companies in existence today. Founded during the mid 1990s by Richard Fitzpatrick, MD, in San Diego, California, SkinMedica was able to conquer the world of the skin care industry with its world class array of widely effective products.
Dr. Fitzpatrick, the Chairman of SkinMedica’s Scientific Advisory Board, published many articles and compilations of surgical and cosmetic dermatology. Detail-specific and result-oriented, his guidance on SkinMedica’s fully funded researches has yielded some of the best skin products on the market.
Many of these products made by SkinMedica are designed to treat skin conditions such as hyper-pigmentation, discoloration, acne problems, fine lines and wrinkles. Since the products are carefully tested to be safe before they are released in the market, most are available without having to consult with a doctor for a prescription, making SkinMedica one of the most accessible skin care products around.
SkinMedica’s first prescription release, however, still remains to be one of the company’s leading skin care products. EpiQuin Micro is a strong bleaching cream that has been proven to treat melasma, a skin disorder also known as chloasma or more commonly called the ‘mask of pregnancy’. Melasma is hard to treat because it only darkens skin pigmentation on sun-exposed areas of the face. SkinMedica was able to synthesize a formula that visibly reduces the dark pigments.
Perhaps the most popular solution that SkinMedica has created is its unique TNS Recovery Complex System. This innovative new compound was initially discovered as a treatment to reduce the appearance of fine lines and blemishes. Using the knowledge accumulated by Dr. Fitzpatrick’s team of beauty experts, and SkinMedica’s laboratories, extracts were used to facilitate the growth of human cells. This topical cream is incorporated by different products to support the skin’s healing process.
Another blend of patented protein, antioxidants and amino acids gave birth to SkinMedica’s solution for sun-damaged skin: Nouricel MD.
The combined resource of TNS and Nouricel gave SkinMedica the push it needed to earn the trust of even great media personalities, such as Oprah, and Allure magazine.
SkinMedica also offers a variety of skin cleaners, toners, rejuvenators, age defense products, moisturizers, and sun and acne protection products.
