Now a leader in European skin care, ISDIN was founded in 1975 in Barcelona, Spain. This brand calls its products “dermocosmetics” due to their process of collaborating with scientists and dermatologists to create advanced solutions for a variety of skin and hair care needs.

One of the brand’s key philosophies is balancing innovative, effective ingredients with appealing formulas you’ll enjoy using every day. “My wife Nancy Schlessinger and I have known about ISDIN for more than ten years now, as we first found out about it when I was lecturing in Barcelona and realized what a sensation it is in Europe,” says board-certified dermatologist and LovelySkin CEO Dr. Joel Schlessinger. “In fact, it is one of the largest brands in all of Europe, which is a pretty competitive arena! We also have worked with individuals from the brand on many initiatives for the education of dermatologists across the world, which is impressive. We are so excited to finally have the opportunity to sell it on LovelySkin.” Below, we’ll help you get acquainted with the many different products that ISDIN offers, including:

• ISDIN sun care

• ISDIN anti-aging skin care

• ISDIN body care

• ISDIN hair care

Meet ISDIN’s innovative sun care

ISDIN’s sun care line is 100% mineral-based, providing broad-spectrum sun protection against both UVA and UVA rays with zinc oxide. One of the brand's bestselling daily sunscreens is ISDIN Eryfotona Actinica Daily Mineral SPF 50+ Sunscreen. It has a lightweight emulsion texture that works well for all types of skin. It’s also water-resistant and absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy finish. The word Actinica in this sunscreen’s name refers to actinic damage, which are changes to the skin as a result of sun exposure—think fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin tone. In addition to protecting your skin from the sun, this daily sunscreen is also formulated to help correct existing actinic damage by boosting your skin’s natural defenses with antioxidant-rich vitamin E and DNA Repairsomes, a patented ingredient that works to repair sun damage when exposed to light thanks to photolyase, an enzyme derived from marine plankton. “Photolyase has been clinically proven to recognize and help repair sun damage,” Dr. Schlessinger says. “It’s really quite incredible, and the fact that it is activated with exposure to light works so well in a sunscreen.”

While you’re protecting your skin from the outside-in with topical sunscreen, you can also nourish it from the inside-out with daily antioxidant supplements. ISDIN Sunisdin Daily Antioxidant Supplement is designed to promote general skin health and defend against photoaging. It contains vitAox Ultra, a blend of antioxidants, vitamins and carotenoids that come together to help improve the appearance of skin, including lycopene, beta carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E and more. In a user study, 93% of users reported that their skin looked firmer and more luminous.

ISDIN’s anti-aging skin care

ISDIN has introduced a wide variety of skin care for your face with an anti-aging focus, from cleansing oils and firming ampoules to hydrating serums and more. One of the most popular is ISDIN Isdinceutics Melatonik Overnight Recovery Serum, a nighttime serum that ISDIN calls a 3-in-1 product because of its trio of potent active ingredients: melatonin, bakuchiol and vitamin C. Together, they can help boost your skin’s natural repair processes to defend against damaging free radicals that accumulate throughout the day as a result of sun exposure and pollution.

Apply a few drops of this unique serum-in-oil formula to your face before bed to support collagen and elastin production for firmer-looking skin, brighter skin tone and a reduced appearance of fine lines. It also provides a boost of hydration that can last eight hours and supports your skin’s natural moisture barrier. After four weeks of testing, 97% of users reported increased hydration and 100% said their skin felt softer to the touch.

Body care for dry skin by ISDIN

ISDIN also offers a few products for the body, including a reparative gel-oil for cracked skin on your feet, a nail strengthening treatment and a hydrating body lotion called ISDIN Uradin Lotion 10. ISDIN developed this ultra-hydrating body lotion for those struggling with dry, scaly skin. It contains 10% urea to help skin retain moisture, 3% dexpanthenol to help relieve itching from dry skin and a blend of emollients designed to restore the skin’s natural moisture barrier. For best results, apply this fast-absorbing formula to damp skin after showering.

ISDIN hair care for thinning hair

ISDIN’s hair care line is called Lambdapil, and it’s focused on hair density improvement for thinning hair. It consists of a three-step system that’s designed to deliver stronger, healthier-looking hair. The first step is ISDIN Lambdapil Hair Loss Shampoo, which contains a combination of B vitamins, biotin and zinc to help strengthen hair and Serenoa serrulata fruit (also known as saw palmetto, a small palm tree) extract to support new hair growth. This shampoo was designed for daily use to promote thicker- and fuller-looking hair while simultaneously targeting oiliness at the roots. The two other companion products in the Lambdapil line includes a spray-on hair density lotion that’s specially formulated to enhance hair resiliency, as well as a daily hair density dietary supplement that’s packed with nutrients to help maintain strong, healthy strands.
