IQ™ is a proudly South African skin care brand, developed by South African dermatologist, Dr Len Nel. Having diagnosed and treated many patients in his clinical practice, developing IQ was a natural extension to provide world class, affordable skin care to all South Africans.
IQ™ products have been specially developed for the South African climate and as such, have broad spectrum SPF protection, contain antioxidants, and are highly emollient and moisturising. IQ™ has developed an infusion of polyphenol-rich White Tea extracts and selected antioxidants, to achieve a unique IPF™ (Immuno Protection Factor). IPF™ helps prevent essential cells from being depleted, and in short, allows the skin to support the synthesis of collagen & elastin.
IQ™ skin care consists of five diverse ranges, formulated for any skin type or skin-related need. The UltraRich™ Advanced Anti-Ageing range is enriched with Antioxidants and Hyaluronic Acid to intensely treat wrinkles and replenish skin’s moisture. The UltraEven™ range provides corrective care, pigmentation reduction and improves an uneven skin tone with its formulation of Niacinamide and Vitamin C. For skin that’s very dry and sensitive, the DermaQuench™ range is infused with Antioxidants and Jojoba Ultra Care™ moisturisers to provide the exact treatment needed for the South African climate. Acne-prone skin is covered by our ClearStart™ range formulated with Salicylic Acid, Aloe and Antioxidants, to help clear breakouts and reduce impurities. The IQ™ Sun Care range is formulated for all skin types, with SPF products that offer vital protection against sun damage. Lastly, our Charcoal range is formulated with Charcoal Extracts and Salicylic Acid to unclog pores and eliminate excess sebum.
IQ™ Skin Care also have a range of 3 serum shots, with these being the most recent additions to the brand. Focusing on trending ingredients, the serums include key ingredients: Vitamin C, Retinol and Hyaluronic Acid. The 10% Vitamin C is the Radiance Shot and is formulated with powerful antioxidant Ferulic Acid proven to help even skin tone and reduce dark spots for a more even and radiant complexion in 2 weeks. Vitamin C contains a high level of antioxidants, known to help protect against environmental damage and premature signs of ageing. The Youth Shot is formulated with a 1% Retinol & Retinoid Complex known to help accelerate skin renewal. When applied topically, Retinol is known to help reduce collagen breakdown and increase the skin’s natural cell turnover process rate for firmer, smoother skin. It helps to prevent fine lines, wrinkles and premature signs of ageing. Lastly, the Hyaluronic Acid Serum is a concentrated serum that gives skin 72-hour moisture efficacy and is formulated with 1% Hyaluronic Acid proven to help boost skin with an extra 67% hydration and replenish moisture.
