IMAGE offers a wide range of clean, clinical skincare powered by proven ingredients, smart botanicals, and results-first technology. These naturally effective, mindful formulas are created with a comprehensive approach that ensures your skin has what it needs for total wellness.
About IMAGE Skincare
IMAGE Skincare was founded by an esthetician, developed by a plastic surgeon, and is recommended by a network of over 30,000 skincare professionals.
The IMAGE Skincare line fights common skin concerns including acne, wrinkles, and stubborn discoloration, as well as visible signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, dullness, and sagging skin.
The ingredients IMAGE uses are heavily researched, while the formulas are adapted and modernized on a continuous basis to be globally compliant and as safe as possible. Each product is also clinically tested, including stability evaluations, safety investments for potential sensitizers, and extensive reviews by a panel of independent skincare professionals.
IMAGE Skincare is also committed to sustainability.
They nixed unnecessary plastic trays and inserts for recyclable paper options, and the product boxes are certified by the non-profit Forest Stewardship Council, which ensures that they’re made from responsibly managed forests and provide environmental, social, and economic benefits. IMAGE also sources raw materials from cleaner origins to find the best forms of both clinical and natural ingredients.
The Products
I go for IMAGE products for my face whenever I can. As well as their clean and clinical approach to skincare, one of my favorite things about the entire IMAGE line is that all the products are made without parabens, phthalates, mineral oils, artificial fragrances, or synthetic dyes, and the company never tests on animals.
Now, I’m going to take you through my skincare routine with some of my favorite IMAGE products.
ORMEDIC Balancing Facial Cleanser
My IMAGE skincare routine starts by washing my face with the ORMEDIC Balancing Facial Cleanser. The gentle and refreshing gel formula foams up to rinse away dirt, oil, makeup, and impurities without stripping the skin. Nourishing organic aloe vera rich in antioxidants, enzymes, and vitamins soothes the skin as glycerin retains moisture for a balanced, soft, soothed, and hydrated complexion.
This cleanser also uses a protecting botanical blend of lotus flower, turmeric, tamarind, and green tea, as well as flower extracts of clover blossom, burdock root, and calendula that work with the aloe vera to soothe even delicate skin.
VITAL C Hydrating Enzyme Masque
After washing, I use the VITAL C Hydrating Enzyme Masque, which is packed with two potent forms of vitamin C to minimize dark spots, even the skin tone, and create a brighter, healthier-looking glow. I leave this mask on for 10-20 minutes to soak in the vitamins and antioxidants, as well as the hyaluronic acid that plumps skin cells for a smoother and more youthful radiance.
Not only does this vitamin C mask brighten and hydrate, but it also uses natural enzymes from pineapple and papaya fruit extracts to gently dissolve dead skin. I love how refreshed and renewed this nourishing exfoliant leaves my skin, as without the dull layer of dead cells in the way, my healthier complexion underneath can shine.
I only use this mask one to three times a week, and not every time I do my skincare routine. Also, because of the high concentration of vitamin C, do NOT forget to use sunscreen during the day. There is a smaller version of this mask available as well if you just want to give it a try!
ORMEDIC Balancing Biopeptide Crème
I pat my skin dry after washing away the mask, then rub the ORMEDIC Balancing Biopeptide Crème into my face, neck, and décolleté. This nourishing cream uses mango and shea butters plus plant oils like sodium hyaluronate and organic grape water to lock in hydration.
Not only does this cream moisturize and make my skin feel softer, but it uses a tetrapeptide complex that evens and brightens my overall complexion for a healthy and dewy look. I also love how this moisturizer has a delicious soft citrus scent, as well as such a velvety formula that sinks in quickly.
ORMEDIC Balancing Lip Enhancement Complex
While moisturizing our skin is important, the thinner skin on our lips needs hydration, too. That’s why as I let the moisturizing cream sink in, I use the ORMEDIC Balancing Lip Enhancement Complex.
This lip treatment hydrates, softens, and smooths the lips with avocado oil and a polypeptide complex that firms the skin and makes the lips look full and plump. On top of these moisturizing ingredients, this replenishing treatment is packed with nourishing and antioxidant-rich vitamin E that relieves any dry or uncomfortable sensations.
When going out, I also love to use this lip moisturizer over lipsticks to add a glossy finish without sacrificing that hydration.
ILUMA Intense Brightening Serum
Next, I dispense the ILUMA Intense Brightening Serum into the palm of my hand and pat it into my skin. This serum contains antioxidant-rich green tea extract, brightening ascorbic acid (a potent form of vitamin C), a tone-evening botanical blend, and dullness-diminishing and dark spot-minimizing bearberry leaf extract.
I love how lightweight and silky this serum is; it sinks in quickly and leaves my skin feeling soft and looking dewy.
PREVENTION+ Daily Matte Moisturizer SPF 30
Even if you didn’t use a skincare product with retinol or vitamin C, sunscreen is still the most important step of any skincare routine, which is why I follow up the serum with the PREVENTION+ Daily Matte Moisturizer SPF 30. I apply my sunscreen not just on my face, neck, and décolleté, but also my chest and anywhere I know the sun will hit.
I love this sunscreen. Not only does it provide that essential SPF 30 UVA and UVB protection with mineral and chemical filters, but it leaves a soft matte finish that minimizes shine without being heavy. It’s sheer and non-comedogenic, so this hydrating sunscreen also works as a fantastic makeup primer.
The MAX Eye Crème
I finish my IMAGE skincare routine with The MAX Eye Crème. I gently rub a small amount of this rich cream around my orbital bone, including my undereye, outer corners, and brow bone because its multiple benefits target all signs of aging. It minimizes the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness while hydrating, firming, and rejuvenating the delicate skin.
A blend of apple, argan, and edelweiss extracts improve the appearance of visible wrinkles and crow’s feet as shea butter and hyaluronic acid hydrate, plump, and smooth the skin. This nourishing eye cream also contains a dark circle peptide complex of palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 and dipeptide-2 that battle any darkness or discoloration for a bright and well-rested look.
