Ingenious Imedeen

Popping pills may be de rigueur these days for whatever you’re self-medicating for or as prescribed by your doctor. Taking a few of those for beauty purposes may be a good idea, too, because as the old adage goes, “Beauty comes from within.” People who are beautiful on the outside are always thought to have a happy and good natured personalities on the inside. Now what if there was a way to maximize one’s potential for beauty — from the inside?

Pretty pills are the answer! The thought of supplementing one’s beauty regimen with pills that nourish from within isn’t so far-fetched. I’m sure we’ve all taken various vitamins and eaten foods in the hope of benefiting our skin. Going for facials and applying potions and lotions are part and parcel of the beauty process, so why not complement what’s topically coating your skin with some magic working from the inside — internal skincare, if you will?

Skin gets rejuvenated in the deeper layers of the skin, which external skincare products cannot reach. While it may not be entirely conventional, Imedeen, the popular anti-aging tablet, was launched nearly 20 years ago. The introduction of Imedeen Classic altered how most people perceived skincare. Revolutionary in concept and execution, the ingredients permit gorgeousness to shine through.

The fact that so many people took to Imedeen prompted the development of Imedeen Time Perfection, suited for women in their 40s, 10 years after the Classic was introduced. Now the line has extended to cover additional age-specific types of tablets to be produced. Since our skin changes as we age (such is life), we have different needs and these innovative tablets have been formulated to address the particular concerns of each age group.

IMEDEEN CLASSIC

P2,800 for a box of 60 tablets

Imedeen Classic is the original formula that protects against aging and to improve basic skin quality. Based on its unique biomarine complex, it significantly enhances the structure and quality of sun-damaged skin. It is also protein-heavy and contains polysaccharides, which are similar to the ones naturally found in the skin’s dermal supportive tissue. Suitable for all age types, it is the anchor product that gives Imedeen its reputation. 

IMEDEEN RADIANT COMPLEXION

P2,950 for a box of 60 tablets

Women in their 20s and 30s undergo massive changes in their skin. Hormonal stresses like bearing children take a toll on their skin, as do pollution and sun exposure. The additional demands of stress, careers, marriage and late nights lead to one’s youthful glow slowly waving bye-bye. Imedeen Radiant Complexion was created to address these factors, so revitalizing and renewal booster ingredients such as the trademarked biomarine complex and the Vita Malk Z complex improve the skin’s overall quality and works on beginning the anti-aging process. Essentially the tablets work to keep the skin radiant, bright and supple.

IMEDEEN TIME PERFECTION

P3,900 for a box of 60 tablets

Like the rest of the Imedeen products, Imedeen Time Perfection contains the biomarine complex but is combined with Lycophence GS, which is a highly potent antioxidant complex patented in the US. Lycophence (I know this sounds so technical) is a blend of Lycopene and grapeseed extract that attacks free radicals in an effort to slow down the skin aging. This particular tablet type is formulated for women in their 40s who want to augment the anti-aging steps they are taking.

IMEDEEN PRIME RENEWAL

P5,350 for a box of 120 tablets

Imedeen Prime Renewal targets the skincare needs of post-menopausal women, the period when skin loses most of its collagen due to lowered levels of estrogen. Dryness and loss in firmness are usually the telltale signs of menopause. These specific tablets improve skin’s firmness, stimulate the regeneration of collagen and renewal of skin cells, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, age spots and pigmentation. Not only do the magic pills work on the visage, they also affect the skin all over your body such on the hands and décolleté. The biomarine complex is part of the formulation as well, combined with zinc, soy extract and the ViTea complex, which tackles a load of issues. It aids the skin in fighting against free radicals, improves suppleness and revitalizes collagen and elastin content of the skin.

Imedeen makes primping a cinch since beauty from within easily radiates through. There’s nothing a little pill can’t help fix.
