Medical aesthetic products. 1Saves20 debuts rinse-free beauty range

THE WHAT? 1Saves20 has made its debut on the US market. The rinse-free, resource-conscious beauty range is dedicated to raising awareness about water consumption.

THE DETAILS The Californian brand was created in response to drought conditions in the state and a desire to conserve water. For every application of the brand’s shower, shampoo and cleansing essentials, a user saves 20 gallons of water.

The range comprises body wipes, body mist, face wipes, dry shampoo, hair mist, cleansing balm and multi-balm and is billed as cruelty-free, gluten-free, alcohol-free and vegan.

THE WHY? Co-founder, Adrienne Arieff, explains, “When we all started discussing how water conservation is a top priority – both for us as well as for our children – we realized that the solution isn’t a few people practicing conservation perfectly. Rather, it’s many people each making small but meaningful choices,” says Arieff. “And an easy place to start is in the bathroom where gallons of water are wasted every day. 1Saves20 offers convenient solutions that refresh without water.”

Medical aesthetic products refer to a category of products used in the field of medical aesthetics, which combines medical practices with cosmetic procedures to improve the appearance of individuals. These products are typically used under the supervision of trained medical professionals such as dermatologists, plastic surgeons, or specialized nurses. They are distinct from over-the-counter cosmetics in that they often contain higher concentrations of active ingredients or require medical expertise for their application.

Examples of medical aesthetic products include:

• Dermal Fillers: Injectable substances used to restore volume, fill wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. These may include hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm or collagen-stimulating fillers like Sculptra.

• Botulinum Toxin (Botox): Injectable neurotoxins used to temporarily paralyze facial muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines caused by facial expressions.

• Chemical Peels: Solutions containing chemical exfoliants like glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or trichloroacetic acid, used to improve skin texture, treat acne scars, and reduce hyperpigmentation.

• Laser and Light Devices: Equipment used for various skin treatments, including hair removal, skin resurfacing, tattoo removal, and treatment of vascular and pigmented lesions.

• Prescription Skincare Products: Formulations containing active ingredients such as retinoids (e.g., tretinoin), hydroquinone, or prescription-strength antioxidants, designed to address specific dermatological concerns under medical supervision.

• Microneedling Devices: Devices that create tiny punctures in the skin to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture and elasticity.

• Cosmeceuticals: High-quality skincare products that bridge the gap between cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, often containing biologically active ingredients with proven efficacy.
