The Fire and Ice Facial by iS Clinical is a results-driven, professional facial treatment designed to resurface, rejuvenate, and hydrate the skin in just a single session. It’s often referred to as a “red carpet” facial because it provides immediate, glowing results, making it popular among those needing a quick skin pick-me-up before a big event. The treatment combines two powerful masks — the Resurfacing Mask ("Fire") and the Rejuvenating Mask ("Ice") — to target multiple skin concerns, including dullness, texture issues, fine lines, and congestion.

The facial begins with double cleansing and then we head right into the 2 masks.

Resurfacing Mask (Fire): The first part of the treatment is the Fire Mask, which is a resurfacing mask that uses a combination of glycolic acid, retinol, and antioxidants to exfoliate and revitalize the skin. This mask promotes cell turnover, dissolving dead skin cells and stimulating the skin’s natural renewal process. The result is smoother, brighter, and more even skin.

As it’s applied, you’ll feel a mild warmth and a tingling sensation — this is the exfoliating action at work.

Key Ingredients:

1. Glycolic Acid: A type of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps dissolve dead skin cells, promote cell turnover, and brighten the skin. It can help with hyperpigmentation and dullness.
2. Retinol (Vitamin A): A potent ingredient that boosts collagen production, reduces the appearance of fine lines, and helps improve skin texture. Retinol is well known for its anti-aging properties.
3. Hyaluronic Acid: This ingredient deeply hydrates the skin by attracting moisture, leaving it feeling plump and refreshed. It helps balance the exfoliating action of the acids and prevents the skin from becoming too dry.
4. Green Tea Extract: Known for its antioxidant properties, green tea extract helps protect the skin from environmental damage and soothes irritation.
5. Cinnamon Extract: This adds a bit of a warming sensation (the "fire" effect), and also has antibacterial properties, making it great for acne-prone skin.

Rejuvenating Mask (Ice): After the Resurfacing Mask is removed, the Ice Mask is applied. This mask is designed to hydrate, soothe, and calm the skin with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, green tea extract, and vitamin C.

It creates a cooling sensation and helps to counterbalance the warmth of the first mask, while also locking in moisture and reducing redness and irritation. The Ice Mask leaves the skin feeling refreshed, plump, and nourished.

Key Ingredients:

1. Hyaluronic Acid: Known for its ability to attract and retain moisture, hyaluronic acid helps to deeply hydrate and plump the skin, giving it a smoother and more youthful appearance. It’s very calming, especially after the skin has been exfoliated.
2. Antioxidants (like Green Tea Extract): These help to protect the skin from oxidative stress caused by environmental factors like pollution and UV radiation. They also work to reduce inflammation and soothe the skin, making this mask ideal after the resurfacing phase.
3. Vitamin C: This potent antioxidant helps brighten the skin and protect it from further damage. It also supports collagen production, helping to maintain the skin’s elasticity and firmness.
4. Licorice Extract: Known for its skin-soothing properties, licorice can help reduce redness and inflammation, which is particularly helpful after the exfoliation process.
5. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): This ingredient is renowned for its anti-inflammatory and skin barrier-strengthening properties. It helps to even out skin tone and minimize the appearance of pores.

Exfoliation: The treatment uses a blend of glycolic acid, retinol, and antioxidants to exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and promoting cell turnover.

Hydration: It also infuses the skin with moisture, improving overall skin texture and giving it a healthy, glowing appearance.

Anti-Aging: By stimulating collagen production, the facial can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time.

Brightening: It can help even out skin tone and reduce hyperpigmentation, leaving the skin looking brighter and more radiant.

Minimized Pores: The facial helps to cleanse and tighten pores, giving the skin a smoother look and feel.

Acne Treatment: It’s great for acne-prone skin as it helps clear out blocked pores and reduce inflammation.

Results:

• Instant Glow: Right after the treatment, you’ll notice brighter, more radiant skin with a smoother texture.
• Refined Pores: Pores will appear smaller and more refined.
• Softer Skin: The exfoliation leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth.
• Long-Term Anti-Aging: Continued treatments can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin elasticity over time.
• Clearer Skin: Acne-prone skin often sees fewer breakouts as the treatment helps clear out congestion.

Who is it for?

This facial is suitable for most skin types, though it’s especially great for those dealing with dull skin, hyperpigmentation, or signs of aging. People with sensitive skin should consult with their esthetician first to ensure it’s right for them.

In short, it’s a relatively quick treatment (about 30-45 minutes) with almost no downtime, but you’ll leave feeling like your skin has gotten a major reset. Plus, it's often referred to as a "red carpet" treatment because it gives immediate, glowing results.
