Steven and Francine Porter founded Osmotics in 1993 and since then, it has been their goal to become the world’s premiere cosmeceutical company. Osmotics is on the cutting edge of skincare as this company works with leading medical centers and renowned scientists to utilize the latest breakthroughs in developing effective products. All product claims have been validated through independent clinical testing, a first in the cosmetics industry!

Osmotics believes that what they leave out is just as important as what they put in. Therefore they do not add potentially harmful ingredients such as artificial colors, fragrances and coal tar dyes. Osmotics also believes that skin can be over-treated, over-cleansed and over-moisturized as well as mistreated due to sun exposure and environmental aggression. The skin reacts most favorably to a simple uncomplicated regimen using a limited number of products. Here is a reference list of their wonderful products. A complete ingredient list of each product is available on their website: Osmotics.com

Osmotics has taken the science of transdermal delivery and applied it to the problem of eliminating free radicals and collagen breakdown in the skin. The aim is to saturate the areas around the eyes, upper lip or any target area on the face, in pure Vitamin C, for up to 10 hours while you sleep! Through this method Vitamin C is never exposed to the atmosphere, which causes its breakdown and compromises its results. Every man & woman over 25 should consider adding this treatment to their regimen.

Kinetin is a plant growth factor, which is isolated from the stems of all green leaf bearing plants. Studies have found that Kinetin compounds retard the aging process as a plant develops. Kinetin delays and partially reverses clinical signs of photo damaged and age-related changes of human cells. Osmotics Kinetin serum includes additional skin supportive elements such as vitamins, minerals and vast quantities of potent antioxidants. It is appropriate for all skin types, is non-greasy, non-comedogenic, non-allergenic and non-irritating.

The basis for this incredible new anti-aging cream is the copper peptide compound that combines a natural ingredient, copper, with a patented, biosynthesized peptide carrier. The result is a penetration capability that allows delivery of the copper into the skin. Copper is one the most important minerals for the skin and is involved in several key functions of the skin: 1) Stimulates dermal collagen 2) Enhanced dermal hydration 3) Improvement in skin elasticity 4) Augmented Bioenergetics’ function 5) Combats free radicals, oxidative damage.
