FAQS
What is included in the iS Clinical Smooth & Soothe Clinical Facial and in which order do I use it? +

The box contains two full-size masques, used in this order once a week:

  • Tri-Active Exfoliating Masque (120g) - the resurfacing step: thin layer on damp skin, massage gently, leave up to 5 minutes, rinse with cool water
  • Hydra-Intensive Cooling Masque (120g) - the hydrating step: even layer over face and neck for 5-10 minutes, then rinse, wipe off with a cool cloth or leave on overnight

Exfoliate first, hydrate second - the same sequence a professional facial follows.

Is iS Clinical Smooth & Soothe Clinical Facial a good at-home facial for dull, dehydrated skin? +

Yes - that is the pairing it was built for. iS Clinical describes Tri-Active Exfoliating Masque as instantly smoothing and polishing the skin and Hydra-Intensive Cooling Masque as providing powerful hydration with a cool, refreshing sensation, so dullness is resurfaced away and dehydration is addressed in the same sitting.

How often should I do the facial? +

Once a week is the brand's guidance for Tri-Active Exfoliating Masque, so once a week for the full two-step facial. Hydra-Intensive Cooling Masque has no exfoliating acids, so it can be used on its own two or three times a week, or whenever skin feels hot or tight.

Can I leave the Hydra-Intensive Cooling Masque on overnight? +

Yes. iS Clinical's directions say it may be left on or rinsed with water, and a thin layer left on overnight is a popular way to maximise hydration after the exfoliating step.

Is the Smooth & Soothe Clinical Facial suitable for sensitive skin? +

iS Clinical lists Tri-Active Exfoliating Masque for normal, dry, oily and combination skin rather than specifically for sensitive skin, while Hydra-Intensive Cooling Masque is listed for all skin types and for post-procedure use. If you are reactive, patch test the exfoliating masque, keep the massage light and shorten the time to two or three minutes.

Why does the Tri-Active Exfoliating Masque feel warm? +

iS Clinical explains that a gentle warming sensation may occur due to an increase in micro-circulation as you massage it in. It is normal and short-lived; the cooling masque that follows feels all the better for it.

Can I use the two masques separately? +

Absolutely. Tri-Active Exfoliating Masque works as a weekly stand-alone exfoliator, and Hydra-Intensive Cooling Masque is a brilliant stand-alone hydration or after-sun masque. Both are also sold individually.

Is the Smooth & Soothe Clinical Facial the same as the iS Clinical Smooth & Soothe set? +

Yes. iS Clinical UK calls it the Smooth & Soothe Clinical Facial and the US site simply Smooth & Soothe; both contain the same two full-size 120g masques, Tri-Active Exfoliating Masque and Hydra-Intensive Cooling Masque.

Can I use the iS Clinical Smooth & Soothe Clinical Facial during pregnancy or while breastfeeding? +

iS Clinical UK states that all of its products are non-systemic and can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. We still suggest checking with your midwife or GP before adding anything new to your routine. Tri-Active Exfoliating Masque contains salicylic acid, which many midwives prefer you to run past them first; Hydra-Intensive Cooling Masque contains no exfoliating acids or retinoids.
