I’m really excited to announce our new FutureDerm® Skin Reborn Facial Cleanser 8.31 ($39.99, FutureDerm.com/Shop) is finally shipping! Years in the making, our FutureDerm® Skin Reborn Facial Cleanser 8.31 has some amazing ingredients, including:
SiQube®
FutureDerm®’s secret ingredient. This safe cleansing agent is a unique quaternium ion, which is a type of ion that has both positive and negative charges. In turn, as you might imagine, SiQube® balances positive and negative ions on the skin for a smooth, silky finish. However, what really sold me on SiQube® is that it has been shown in independent scientific studies to actually strengthen skin’s barrier function with repeated use (Gelest, 2012). While most cleansers, particularly those with a high pH, will strip skin of its natural oils and impair barrier function, SiQube® is one cleansing agent that does its duty while putting moisture back into the skin. It’s truly remarkable. Our initial testing base absolutely adores it.
Triple Tea Complex
FutureDerm® decided to enhance the skin-smoothing properties of SiQube® further with a triple tea complex featuring green, white, and red rooibos teas. Green, white, and red rooibos teas provide high concentration of epigallecatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a compound with potent anti-inflammatory, anti-wrinkle, and antioxidant properties (Carcinogenesis;Molecular Epidemiology and Cancer Prevention).
The immediate effects of the teas are soothing to the skin. Later, the potent combination of teas may help to prevent signs of aging from appearing.
Vitamin E
One of the only vitamins naturally produced in the skin (and the vitamin produced naturally in the highest abundance), vitamin E production decreases with age. Topical application of Vitamin E has been shown to be a potent antioxidant, hydrator, and skin protectant, supplementing what is lost as you age (Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, Free Radical Biology and Medicine).
Sodium Trideceth Sulfate, NOT Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
Sodium Trideceth Sulfate, or STS, is not to be confused with Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, which is much more harsh to the skin, and far more drying.
Commonly found in skin care products for babies, sodium trideceth sulfate (STS) is gentle and helps to detoxify the skin. STS is so gentle that it has been recommended by pediatricians for use to clear the sinuses as a major component of baby shampoo (American Journal of Rhinitis, 2002). On the other hand, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) is a known irritant. According to Dr. Leslie Baumann, M.D., in her best-selling Cosmetic Dermatology text, “[Sodium lauryl sulfate or SLS] is such a consistent irritator for skin with an impaired barrier that it is actually used in ‘challenge patch tests’ to evaluate the barrier function of skin…it strips the natural lipids from the skin, disrupting the barrier and rendering it more susceptible to external irritants.”
Instead, Sodium Trideceth Sulfate gives a really nice body to the product, acts as a mild gentle cleansing agent, and leaves a soft finish. In conjunction with the other ingredients in FutureDerm® Skin Reborn Facial Cleanser 8.31, it is a real winner.
Leaves Skin Soft and Smooth Now — Gives More Firm Skin Later
From reading a lot of reader emails for the past six years, I’ve found that readers really want a cleanser that leaves their skin feeling soft and smooth – never sticky or greasy or oily. Readers also want their skin to feel clean afterwards – something that a lot of sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS)-heavy cleansers like Cetaphil are able to do well, but unfortunately at the cost of leaving skin dry and parched.
FutureDerm® Skin Reborn Facial Cleanser 8.31 uses SiQube® to detoxify the skin. During cleansing, its positive and negative charges balance out the imbalance of charges on your skin, while vitamin E and green, white, and red tea extracts provide ample soothing benefits. So when you rinse it off, your skin feels really soft and smooth. I’m not kidding. As soon as I tried this formula, I knew this was the one. We worked so hard, developing and testing so many – we were so happy this one was amazing!
The other amazing thing about FutureDerm® Skin Reborn Facial Cleanser 8.31 is that SiQube® has been shown to strengthen barrier function with repeated use over time. After about 20 uses (10 days of twice-daily use), your skin will feel firmer. What’s great about this is that your skin feels firmer and can still be treated with retinoids, antioxidants, niacinamide, peptides, and lots of other proven skin-beneficial ingredients after. It’s rare to find a cleanser that is proven to have the effects of a treatment serum or moisturizer – now you have.
Bottom Line: A Cleanser with the Effects of a Treatment Serum or Moisturizer!
Our FutureDerm® Skin Reborn Facial Cleanser 8.31 is truly revolutionary. When used regularly, it provides a twice-daily skin detox. After just one use, skin is softer, smoother, reborn! After about 10 days, you will have softer, smoother, firmer skin – or your money back, guaranteed, no questions asked.
