OUR TESTING

92%, 88.5%, 96%. In clinical studies, women who tried individual Cosmedicine products strongly agreed: their skin was firmer, softer, better hydrated, more radiant and revitalized. They saw reductions in lines and wrinkles and improvements in skin discolorations. And in most instances, 3 out of 4 panelists said they would recommend Cosmedicine to a friend. Many skincare companies would be satisfied with results like that. But not us.

We are much more impressed by numbers like these: 32%, 41% and 22%. Why? Because those numbers represent the true statistical changes that objective science measured on skin. The numbers may appear low compared to traditional beauty results -- but they reflect a very high (and new) standard.

"Sensory" tests, which are the cosmetic industry standard, tell you only what improvements women "saw", "felt" or "reported", those results are called subjective opinions. Cosmedicine claims are based on objective, measurable results - which means that you can count on them to see a real, measurable change in your skin.

The Protocol

The formulators of Cosmedicine met with chemists, researchers and leading doctors in order to understand the realistic range of product attributes and "claims" that could reasonably be made. Our objective was to develop a regimen of OTC skin care products that would:

• help insure the healthiest skin possible when used as part of a regular twice daily regimen
• always provide the absolute truth in measured efficacy & safety claims
• be formulated for highly sensitive skin
• be of the highest purity and quality

One of central points of difference with Cosmedicine products is their highly rigorous clinical testing. Instead of using the traditional cosmetic industry tests, we tested our products similarly to the way drugs are tested - with a separate test and control group for each product so that we could discover the true statistical benefits. Furthermore, a major medical institution consulted on the design of test protocols and supervised the information analysis of tests performed on Cosmedicine products.

The quality of Cosmedicine's product claims testing is of the highest caliber - well beyond cosmetic industry standards - and closely mirrors that of stringent pharmaceutical drug testing.

Some of the parameters of our testing are:

• The performance and safety of all Cosmedicine products were measured at two independent testing laboratories.
• Testing was conducted with a separate control and test group for EACH product.
• Product testing extended up to 12 week period, depending on the nature of the product.
• Subjects were measured for the specific parameters before the use of a single product and then again over various periods of time (one hour, eight hours, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks) to assess the change in skin parameters.
• State of the art instruments were used to quantitatively measure specific skin parameters (e.g. skin hydration, skin elasticity, skin texture).

Comprehensive safety testing was conducted, inclusive of:

• hypoallergenic claims
• non-comedogenic claims
• non-acnegenic claims
• ophthalmologic claims

Cosmedicine products are not tested on animals.
