Introstem is a skincare brand that I’m already quite familiar with – my skincare routine already contains an Introstem serum and mask. However, when I saw the ThermoStem Collection hit the shelves, I knew I had to immediately have it. This three-piece skincare set promised to solve all of my complexion woes and, unlike many of the products that I’ve used in the past, it actually came through on its claims.
When raving about these products to friends and family, their first question was “what makes them so great?”. So, keep reading as I explain what it is about the Introstem ThermoStem Collection that makes it so unique and well worth the splurge.
At-Home Thermotherapy
Thermotherapy is an intriguing concept. It’s all about harnessing heat in a way that not only improves the absorption of skincare products/ingredients, but also deeply purifies the complexion.
While there are various professional thermotherapy treatments to choose from, at-home options have always been pretty limited. Other than a facial steam, there weren’t many other ways in which your skin could experience the concept…until now.
The Introstem ThermoStem Collection brings thermotherapy to the comfort of your own home with the ThermoStem Mask. This clay mask contains thermal catalysts that release energy in the form of heat when they’re broken, which happens when the mask is massaged into the skin. This leaves the pores feeling relaxed and dilated, making it easier for the rest of the ingredients in the mask, as well as those in any other skincare products you use afterward, to penetrate the skin.
I’ve personally used many clay masks over the years, and the difference with this one is significant. Yes, the mask contains several other exemplary ingredients too, from vitamins A, C, and E to coffee seed extract and grape stem cells. However, it’s the relaxing warmth that the mask emits that really helps it to stand out!
Grape Stem Cells in Every Drop
One of the reasons why I’ve always loved Introstem is because of the brand’s signature ingredient: grape stem cells. If you know your skincare, you’ll be well aware of how grape stem cells are absolutely loaded with potent antioxidants. These key compounds go a long way in preventing and reducing the appearance of aging.
Grape stem cells can be found in all Introstem products, including the three in the ThermoStem Collection. However, what really sets these products apart is how each one also contains a boatload of other antioxidants. Ask any dermatologist and they’ll tell you that antioxidants work best when they’re joined with other antioxidants. This is exactly what you get with the ThermoStem Collection.
I’ve already mentioned some of the ingredients in the ThermoStem Mask. Each one is known for its powerful antioxidant properties. However, let’s now hone in on the ThermoStem Serum. After all, serums are known for being able to carry antioxidants deeper into the complexion than other product types. This one is applied over the top of the ThermoStem Mask and enhances the mask’s heating effect.
You’ll find an array of antioxidant-rich plant extracts in this serum, with some being relatively rare. Between hawthorn berries, apple, and lilac, these ingredients have likely contributed to how these products have made my skin look so much brighter and fresher.
A Focus on Replenishing the Complexion
All too often, skincare products focus on repairing the look of existing skin problems. While there’s nothing wrong with that, it would be better if those issues hadn’t occurred in the first place! The skincare industry as a whole has recognized this. There has recently been a noticeable shift toward preventative rather than reparative skincare.
The Introstem ThermoStem Collection, which is all about replenishing and rejuvenating the complexion, falls in line with this trend perfectly. The two products that I’ve already talked about do this extremely well, but the ThermoStem Completion Cream really takes the cake when it comes to encouraging the skin to feel its very best.
Just like with all Introstem products, this moisturizer is full of names that you’ll likely recognize. Rose fruit extract, grape seed extract, grape stem cells, vitamin A, and vitamin E are all renowned for their skin-loving effects. What makes this cream even more effective, however, is the inclusion of salicylic acid in this formula. This is a beta-hydroxy acid usually used for exfoliation. In small amounts, as is the case with this cream, it helps to clear a channel that allows all of the other beneficial ingredients in the product to make their way into the skin much more efficiently.
Is the Introstem ThermoStem Collection Worth Buying?
I’ve personally had a great experience with the Introstem ThermoStem Collection, to the point where I would highly recommend it. These products contain some truly clever ingredient blends, a testament to the visible results that they provide. The entire collection is cutting-edge, feels decadent to use, and is highly effective, making it hardly surprising that these products are quickly becoming some of the brand’s bestselling formulas.
