All VI Derm products are of clinical grade and formulated to be effective and proven to work. With this, we do utilize ingredients that are not of natural or organic origin.

The use of the word “chemical” has gotten a bad rap lately. However, just because something is chemical does not mean that it is dangerous or harmful. Everything is composed of chemicals – even water and air – and most chemicals you encounter each day are safe and harmless. Sometimes, the non-natural ingredients we use are much more effective and have been studied more extensively than their non-natural counter parts and are therefore safer to use. We only use ingredients that have been proven to work and have been proven to be safe in clinical studies.

In addition, the word organic simply means that the substance does not contain the element carbon. Although the term has become synonymous with safe or natural because of its association with living things, not all organic substances are natural, safe, or healthy.

To preserve the potency and efficacy of our VI Derm products, we use bottles with an airless pump mechanism. This means that these bottles do not have a dip tube or straw. This airless pump design is also more hygienic and ensures consistent application by dispensing your product in measured amounts with each use while keeping your products fresher for longer.

With that, it may take more pumps than expected to start dispensing for the very first use; between 15-20 pumps, or possibly more, to get the product moving.

If the product is not dispensing after this, we recommend “priming the pump.” Please do not open the bottle since this can disrupt the airless pump system. To prime the pump, place the cap back on the bottle, hold it upside-down, and gently tap the top against a flat surface. This should spur the product into the usual dispensing action.

VI Peel and VI Derm skin care products are guaranteed only when purchased through an authorized retailer or practitioner. All VI Peel products may only be purchased and administered by a licensed healthcare professional. Products not purchased through an authorized retailer or performed by a licensed healthcare professional can be counterfeit, diluted formulas, or old, expired formulas that may not be safe to use. This means if you buy our products from an outlet other than our authorized partners, we cannot guarantee that products are authentic or that they will perform as tested. To ensure your products are authentic and of high quality, please purchase only through an authorized source.

Yes, all VI Derm products are paraben free. We have value your concerns and have taken all efforts to remove parabens from our product.

To assure best outcomes, we suggest consulting with your physician prior to beginning any advanced skin care routine.

VI Derm products have a shelf-life of 2 years. For those that contain active ingredients you will find a expiration date located on the bottom of the bottle.

You may notice from time to time that the color or scent of your product varies. This is completely normal and the direct result of not using artificial coloring agents or fragrances. The exception to this is if the product is used beyond the marked expiration date stamped on the container. The expiration date confirms that the product you are using is guaranteed effective for the time frame indicated, and is best replaced after that.

After proper cleansing, we recommend applying skin care products in the following manner. First serums, then concentrates, moisturizers and finally sunscreen.

Yes, all VI Derm products are cruelty free. We do not believe in animal testing and choose to partner with suppliers who share our beliefs.

We recommend that pregnant or breastfeeding women always consult with their healthcare provider before using any products. There are suggestions in the FDA guidelines that certain ingredients should be avoided including hydroquinone, salicylic acid, retinoids and chemical sunscreens. The following VI Derm products do not contain any ingredients that are not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding and may be an option for you to discuss with your physician: Vitamin C Brightening Concentrate, VI Derm Purifying Cleanser.

Your VI Derm products can last anywhere from 2-4 months depending on the product, if used as directed.

The Gentle Purifying Cleanser is great at removing makeup from the face. For waterproof makeup, double cleanse (first to remove the makeup, and second to cleanse the skin) or use a gentle makeup remover first.

We recommend cleansing with the VI Derm Purifying cleanser both morning and night or anytime you need to refresh your skin.

To ensure your Vitamin C Brightening Concentrate does not pill, allow ample time for it to dry completely before applying anything else to your face.

Typically, many of the Vitamin C products you see on the market are made with L-ascorbic acid. While L-ascorbic acid is an amazing type of Vitamin C, it is very finicky and oxidizes quickly if not formulated and storied in optimal conditions. The Vitamin C we use is clinical strength 10% tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, which is a Vitamin C that is much more stable and potent that the typical L-ascorbic acid. In addition, we formulate our Vitamin C Brightening Concentrate with NO water and in an airless pump, which ensures the freshest, most potent formula for much longer.

Cleanse the skin thoroughly with VI Derm Gentle Purifying Cleanser. Massage one to two pumps of Vitamin C Brightening Concentrate onto the face and neck. Use AM and PM. When using with VI Derm Retinol Age-Defying Treatment Moisturizer, apply Vitamin C Brightening Concentrate AFTER Moisturizer.

We recommend using VI Derm Vitamin C Brightening Concentrate in the morning and in the evening.

Our Vitamin C Brightening Concentrate includes clinical strength 10% Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, the most stable and potent form of Vitamin C on the market. It is non-irritating, slow to oxidize, and able to penetrate deep into your skin.

The VI Derm Retinol Age Defying Treatment Moisturizer can be used once to twice daily. For sensitive skin, we recommend using it once daily.

Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply as needed or after towel drying, swimming, or sweating.

The VI Derm SPF 50 Sunscreen was formulated to prevent breakouts typically experienced with sunscreens. Although it is possible, most people who are acne-prone find great relief in our product. If you have any questions or concerns, we recommend you consult with your healthcare provider.

Our VI Derm SPF 50 Sunscreen can be used on children over the age of 6 months.

As with all sunscreens if you are outdoors in direct sunlight, you should reapply every two hours.

Apply enough to cover your entire face and neck liberally. This can equate to a nickel sized amount, or the length of a finger.

The VI Derm SPF 50 Sunscreen contains a blend of Zinc Oxide, Octinoxate, Aloe Vera, and Citrus extracts

What we suggest to taper down from 4% Hydroquinone

• If using 4% HQ twice daily, remove the AM session of HQ and add in Dark Spot Lifting Serum for 1-2 weeks. Then discontinue completely and use Dark Spot Lifting Serum twice daily.

• If using 4% HQ only once a day, add in Dark Spot Lifting Serum in the AM and use HQ in the PM for 1-2 weeks. Then discontinue completely and use Dark Spot Lifting Serum twice daily.

Dark Spot Lifting Serum is great for those who have pigmentation, including dark spots, sun damage, melasma and PIH.

However, you could experience mild breakouts and purging when first acclimating your skin to the product.

Yes! When incorporating Dark Spot Lifting Serum with Hydroquinone, you can alternate use with Hydroquinone in your daily routine. So if you use Hydroquinone in the PM, use Dark Spot Lifting Serum in the AM.

You can also use Dark Spot Lifting Serum when you cycle off of your Hydroquinone to continue fighting, lifting and suppressing pigment when you are off of HQ. Then, when cycling back on Hydroquinone, you can alternate your HQ and Dark Spot Lifting Serum in your daily routine again.

The Dark Spot Lifting Serum is a safer alternative to Hydroquinone, but it is always best to consult with your healthcare practitioner before starting any new skin care regimen.

Our Dark Spot Lifting Serum is a non-prescription, non-hydroquinone skin brightening serum that is formulated to lift existing pigmentation, sun damage, and fight future pigmentation. It has very high patient satisfaction in our clinical and research study, with improvements seen as soon as 30 days.

It is also a calming must-have for sun exposure and sunburned skin, bug bites, and other lifestyle hazards.
