IMEDEEN Skincare supplement questions

General questions

  • Who can benefit from IMEDEEN?

    Anyone who wishes to maintain a naturally beautiful appearance can benefit from taking IMEDEEN Skincare supplements. Our Skincare supplement range carries age recommendations. Our Beauty Perfection range is for anyone over the age of 18.

  • Can IMEDEEN be taken over a longer period of time?

    Yes, IMEDEEN Skincare and Beauty Perfection supplements can be taken as part of your daily beauty routine for as long as desired.

  • What happens if I stop taking IMEDEEN Skincare tablets?

    The condition your skin was in before you started taking IMEDEEN Skincare tablets was the result of many years of influencing factors. Similarly, should you stop using IMEDEEN Skincare tablets, the results you have obtained will not disappear overnight, but will reduce gradually. While we have not examined the pace at which this happens, we know from consumer experiences that it varies from person to person; some say after as little as one month and others have reported from four to six months.

  • Do IMEDEEN Skincare tablets show an effect on other parts of the body?

    Yes, as IMEDEEN is an oral supplement that works from within, benefits may be seen all over – on the face and body.

IMEDEEN Beauty Perfection Questions

IMEDEEN Tan Optimizer

  • What are carotenoids and which carotenoids are in IMEDEEN Tan Optimizer?

    Carotenoids are organic pigments that produce the red, yellow and orange colour of fruit and vegetables such as tomatoes and carrots. They are fat soluble vitamins. The carotenoids lutein, derived from the marigold flower; lycopene and beta-carotene are in IMEDEEN Tan Optimizer.

  • What is the action of vitamin C and vitamin E?

    Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin whereas vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin. Vitamin C contributes to collagen formation for the normal function of the skin. Each helps protect cells from oxidative stress.

  • How does IMEDEEN Tan Optimizer work?

    IMEDEEN® Tan Optimizer helps prepare the skin for the sun. Sun light exposure can damage the skin via generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) or free radicals known as oxidative stress. These reactive intermediates damage molecules in the skin such as DNA, proteins and lipids if they are not intercepted by the body’s antioxidant network. Imedeen Tan Optimizer contains Vitamins C and E which contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

    Nb: Tan Optimizer should always be used in conjunction with a suitable SPF cream or lotion.

  • Who is the target group?

    Women and men, 18+, who want to prepare their skin for the sun – whether prior to a holiday or throughout the summer months.

    A few simple steps can help:

  • When and how should IMEDEEN Tan Optimizer tablets be taken?

    We recommend you start taking the Tan Optimizer tablets at least one month before sun exposure and then throughout periods of sun exposure. Use can be continued for as long as desired. Take one tablet daily with a glass of water, preferably with a meal.

  • Are there any contraindications for IMEDEEN Tan Optimizer?

    As with any food supplement, anyone under medical supervision or women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult their doctor before use.

  • Can IMEDEEN Tan Optimizer be consumed by smokers?
