My Top 3 NIOD Skincare Products

NIOD was the first range within the Deciem family that I tried after seeing live presentations on QVCUK. NIOD was created with a single genetic purpose – to be at the very edge of science. NIOD offers non-invasive options in dermal science and aims to provide next-generation, non-inflammatory active ingredients, and complexes that focus on the long-term health and quality of the skin. When skin is healthier and stronger, we age more gracefully. This is the essence behind NIOD and here are my top 3 NIOD skincare products.

NIOD FLAVANONE MUD (FM)

For all skin types with any signs of congestion.

Flavanone Mud is a three-phase rinse-off decongestion system that disrupts neither the skin surface equilibrium nor its density. While FM can be classified as a masque for categorical convenience, its approach varies substantially from that offered by the concept of masques today both in terms of its way of positive visible influence on the skin as well as its respect for dermal integrity.

Masques in general offer topical decongestion of the skin by means of including mud and clays to absorb surface impurities. While some level of deeper cleaning does occur with this approach, mud or clays are unable to solubilize surface impurities and so the decongestion is inefficient. Furthermore, the visible effect is very temporary and further exposure to pollution and cosmetics will undo most of the positive effects quickly.

How to Use

Use once a week.
Clean skin with LVCE and/or water.
Apply a thin layer of Flavanone Mud to the entire dry face, avoiding the lower and upper eyelids.
Leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
A strong temporary stinging sensation will occur especially after the product has been rinsed off.

NIOD FRACTIONATED EYE-CONTOUR CONCENTRATE (FECC)

This is a supercharged, eye contour serum for crow’s feet, puffiness, and dark circles.

A hyper-concentrated bio-serum for the eye contour, FECC combines 28 clinical technologies to target many signs of under-eye and above-eye aging in one treatment—borrowing from advanced biotechnology, polyphenol technology, next-generation cyclic peptide technologies, marine science, and modern drone delivery mechanics. This single treatment is able to target visible aging (both upper eyelids and lower eyelids) including the looks of dynamic lines, static lines, fine superficial under-eye lines (those not targeted by SNARE-target injections), loss of elasticity (especially upper eyelids), dark circles, puffiness and textural unevenness with positive visible results starting within 3 days and improving into 8 weeks with continued use.

FECC contains 28 complex approaches to fighting the visible ageing of the eye contour.

How to Use

Apply in the eye area, including upper eyelids, both AM and PM.

NIOD MULTI-MOLECULAR HYALURONIC COMPLEX (MMHC2)

This is a multi-dimensional approach to the signs of ageing using topical hyaluronic technologies for the signs of ageing.

A water-based serum that does not overload the skin. MMHC2 is the second generation of MMHC.

The formula offers a multi-dimensional approach to topical hyaluronic supplementation by combining 15 forms of hyaluronic compounds, hyaluronic precursors, and hyaluronic support technology in a peptide-charged delivery system. It offers water-based hydration and helps the skin surface look plump, elastic, comfortable, and uniform.

Amongst the 15 hyaluronic compounds is an extremely rare direct form of hyaluronic acid. Almost universally in the world of beauty, the term “hyaluronic acid” is used loosely to refer to “sodium hyaluronate” which is the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. When brands refer to “hyaluronic acid” in their information and marketing materials, in almost every case the reference is to forms of “sodium hyaluronate” which appear in the ingredient listing of the products. While several sodium salt forms of hyaluronic acid are included in MMHC2, the formula also includes 1.0% direct hyaluronic acid which appears as “hyaluronic acid” in the ingredient listing. This inclusion is exceptionally rare for a broad range of formulation and commercial reasons. Direct hyaluronic acid offers pro-repair support far beyond the basic water hydration that sodium hyaluronate offers, resulting in improvements to the elastic appearance and the general healthy look of skin.

The formula also contains a hyaluronic support system of adaptogenic water-starved clary sage flavonoids, phenylethanoid glycosides from narrow-leaf plantain, and several dermal amino acids. This complex system acts as a non-clogging, water-protective barrier to optimize the function of hyaluronic compounds and help support dermal water retention.

How to Use

Recommended as a core NIOD regimen product to be used with Copper Amino Isolate Serum (CAIS).
If used with CAIS, apply CAIS after cleansing, followed by Multi-Molecular Hyaluronic Complex (MMHC).
If used separately, apply MMHC after cleansing before the application of other skin treatments.
Apply a small amount to the entire face twice daily.
