Why iS Clinical

We sell microneedling devices, so people ask why we also stock a professional skincare line. The answer is simple: what you put on the skin during and after a treatment matters as much as the device you use. Microneedling opens microscopic channels in the skin and dramatically increases how much of a product is absorbed. That's an advantage when the formulation is clean and well made — and a problem when it isn't.

iS Clinical is the line we chose to sit alongside our Dr. Pen devices. Here is why.

95–98% botanical

iS Clinical formulations are built around botanical actives rather than synthetic filler. Nature-derived ingredients do the work, which keeps the formulations clean without sacrificing performance.

Multi-tasking

Every formulation targets more than one concern, which means your routine addresses what your skin needs with fewer products. That matters after microneedling, when a simple routine is safer than a crowded one.

Pharmaceutical-grade ingredients

Ingredients are sourced to pharmaceutical-grade quality standards — the same purity benchmark used in clinical settings, not the cosmetic minimum.

Non-systemic formulations

The formulations are non-systemic: they work at and within the skin rather than being absorbed into the bloodstream. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing a medical condition, speak with your healthcare professional before starting any new skincare product or microneedling treatment.

Active ingredients at therapeutic dosages

Plenty of products list an impressive active and then include too little of it to matter. iS Clinical formulates actives at therapeutic dosages — the concentration at which the ingredient actually does what it claims.

Used by practitioners

The line is used in professional clinics as well as at home, which is the practical test that matters: practitioners re-order what works on their clients' skin.

Clinically studied

Studies are run on the finished formulations, not just on individual ingredients in isolation. That is a meaningful difference — a good ingredient can still underperform in a poorly built formula.

Using iS Clinical with your Dr. Pen

Not every serum belongs on freshly needled skin. Anything with fragrance, alcohol, retinol or a strong acid should wait until the skin barrier has recovered. Our guide to which serums are safe to apply while microneedling covers what to use during a treatment and what to leave for later, and the microneedling aftercare guide covers the days that follow.

If you are new to microneedling, start with important considerations for microneedling before your first treatment.
