ARTISTRY® Men Collection Q&A with Principal Research Scientist Rick Abbott

What comprises the ARTISTRY Men Collection? This scientifically advanced skincare collection was designed to meet the distinctive needs of men’s skin, as compared to women’s skin. With exclusive technology and ingredients, the high-performing ARTISTRY Men regimen targets men’s primary skincare needs – oil control and hydration to reveal healthier, younger-looking skin that resists the visible signs of aging.

Is there a difference between men’s skin and women’s skin? Although structurally similar to women’s skin, men’s skin exhibits unique characteristics. Through years of research and ARTISTRY F.A.C.E.S., a proprietary diagnostic system of 162,000 analysed images that represents more than 32,000 people worldwide, Amway scientists identified key biological differences. Findings showed that higher testosterone levels trigger more sebum production, which leads to more oil and shine in men. Yet despite this increase in oil production, men’s skin tends to be drier on the surface due to lower Natural Moisture Factor (NMF) levels. Further, disrupts the skin’s barrier function, making men even more prone to dryness through moisture loss.

To meet these targeted skincare needs, Amway scientists created the ARTISTRY Men Collection and its exclusive DermaSync Complex.

How does DermaSync Complex perform? Infused into every formula in the ARTISTRY Men Collection, DermaSync Complex balances the oil and moisture in men’s skin. This dual-phase technology invigorates skin to help restore and maintain a healthier, younger look:

Phase One: Oil Control  Ingredients bring oil into balance, from Zinc PCA, which fights excess oil and shine by reducing sebum flow, to Butyl Avocadate, which helps reduce sebum production.

Phase Two: Moisture Management  Ingredients deeply hydrate to help improve skin’s moisture barrier function, managing moisture levels by keeping vital nutrients and hydration in.

Does the ARTISTRY Men Collection hold any patents? Every formula is powered by the exclusive NMF Liposome, which helps deliver essential lipids – Ceramide 3, Lecithin and Beta-Sitosterol – along with natural humectants like Hyaluronate, Soy Lecithin and Glycerin deep into the skin, directing them to where they’re needed most.

Exclusive Shiso and Aloe Complex helps reduce shaving irritation in the Smooth Shave Foam and Post Shave Toner. The Serum Concentrate has both exclusive Micro X6 Peptide, to nourish the skin to help diminish the look of fine lines, and exclusive Oat Extract, to help exfoliate to keep skin feeling smooth.

What distinguishes this collection from other men’s skincare? In clinical studies, the ARTISTRY Men Collection delivered incredible results that elevate the ARTISTRY brand to a new level in men’s skincare:

Oil Control: Four-Week Results  Up to 56.2% reduction in oil production.¹  92% agreed that the collection helped control excess oil.

Moisture Management: Four-Week Results  Up to 83.4% increase in moisturisation, with benefits that increase with prolonged use.  95% agreed that the collection left their skin deeply moisturised.

What is the ARTISTRY Men skincare regimen? Like its targeted technology, the ARTISTRY Men regimen is tailored to men with an additional shave step. When used twice daily, it leaves skin surging with youthful looking vitality:

Step One: Cleanse  Gentle Face Wash sweeps away dirt and oil without stripping skin of vital moisture. Jojoba beads release moisture benefits as they dissolve to help replace lost lipids.

Step Two: Shave  Smooth Shave Foam softens the beard for a close, comfortable shave while hydrating skin and protecting it from razor burn.

Step Three: Tone  Post Shave Toner* soothes skin and brings it into balance post-shave by removing excess oil and helping maintain skin’s natural protective barrier.

Step Four: Treat  Serum Concentrate rejuvenates skin’s youthful appearance by helping minimise the appearance of fine lines.

Step Five: Moisturise  Facial Moisturiser** protects skin from moisture loss and dryness with reviving, continual hydration that lasts up to 8 hours.

The ARTISTRY Men Power System combines the three most powerful formulas in the collection – Gentle Face Wash, Serum Concentrate and Facial Moisturiser – to optimise oil control and hydration.

What inspired the ARTISTRY Men Collection packaging? With its sleek vertical presentation, the Pillar packaging embodies an iconic monumentality. Each bottle is an architectural column of strength that connotes the power and efficacy of the formulas inside. The signature Avant Grey hue recalls a finely tailored suit and carries an air of authority and prestige.

Was ARTISTRY Men created for a certain skin type? ARTISTRY Men is designed to work on all skin types.

What clinical testing or laboratory support is available for these products? Third party clinical testing was done to support all safety and efficacy claims.

2 How long do each of the ARTISTRY Men products last during use? Usage rates depend on average use amounts. Expected use-up rate for ARTISTRY Men products is approximately six to eight weeks.

Are there any Nutrilite approved ingredients in ARTISTRY Men products? There are not any Nutrilite approved ingredients in ARTISTRY Men.

Can ARTISTRY Men products be used by men with sensitive skin? While ARTISTRY Men products were not directly targeted for those with sensitive skin, there was no evidence of allergic response or extreme skin irritation in clinical studies.

How should these products be stored? In general, cosmetic products should be kept in a cool, dry place and out of direct sunlight. Heat does accelerate the product’s aging process. For maximum stability, ARTISTRY Men products should be stored at room temperature (below 30C) and away from direct sunlight. To minimise the effects of humidity make sure the closures on the products are tightly closed.

After a package is open, how long can a consumer keep the products? A sealed package has a shelf life of 3 years. Once the product is opened, it should be used within 12 months.

Are there any formulation differences between ARTISTRY Men product and ARTISTRY products for women? Yes, all products are unique formulas that were specifically designed for men's skin. In general, the formulas are lighter and absorb more quickly than women's products. The facial provides a cleaner feel than most ARTISTRY women's .

What causes ingrown hairs? What does ARTISTRY Men recommend to treat them? Ingrown hairs are caused when a hair curls back or grows sideways into the skin. Shaving is a leading cause, because the hair edge is cut off unevenly, often level with the surface of the skin, where it can be forced underneath the surface of the skin. Prevention starts with avoiding shaving too closely; this includes properly hydrating the beard hair, lubricating the surface of the skin, and shaving with the direction of the hair growth. Skin prone to ingrown hairs should exfoliate regularly, which can help free any trapped hairs; ARTISTRY Intensive Skincare Renewing Peel is a good choice.

What does ARTISTRY Men recommend for customers wishing to reduce blackheads or visible pores? Blackheads and visible pores are symptoms of excess oil production. Exfoliation can help clear clogged pores and reduce buildup that can appear as blackheads. ARTISTRY Intensive Skincare Advanced Skin Refinisher will help refine the surface of the skin and also help to reduce the appearance of pores instantly and over time.

Can ARTISTRY Men products be used with other ARTISTRY products? To meet additional skincare concerns, the ARTISTRY Men regimen can be enhanced by any ARTISTRY skincare products, including the ARTISTRY Intensive Skincare Collection’s Anti-Wrinkle Firming Serum (to firm skin), Advanced Skin Refinisher (to reduce visible pores) or Renewing Peel (to rejuvenate skin’s appearance).
