About this item

  • SDSM2 is the second generation of SDSM, NIOD's dermal treatment mist–not to be classified mistakenly as a "toner"–that acts as a fundamental daily force against oxidative stress, water loss and the look of inflammation, all of which contribute to loss of visible skin quality over time. The large 240ml mist format allows for generous and frequent application to the face and the body as desired.
  • Since one of the main oxidative stressors of the skin is UVB, the potency of topical SOD was measured under direct UVB application. The area treated with SOD had an increase of 1,100% lactate dehydrogenase activity which is used to measure human cell viability. Further, the treated area enjoyed a 100% reduction (to zero) in synthesis of prostaglandin E2 which is a cause and marker of skin inflammation.
  • A studied bio-derivative of this Aztec plant reduces pro-inflammatory mediators to help reduce visible inflammation. This technology supports the anti-inflammatory effects of SOD by targeting inflammatory causes unrelated to oxidative stress for a broader spectrum of inflammation targets. This added support is important because inflammation–regardless of its source–is one of the key causes of ailments and ageing.
  • Derived entirely through fermentation processes, this sustainably-sourced marine polysaccharide is able to preserve water significantly more than the highest molecular sizes of hyaluronic acid. This ability prevents dermal water loss even in extreme cases where cell viability was measured under severely cold temperatures (-20 C) where this polysaccharide increased cellular viability preservation by 60%. increases skin hydration by more than 35% and reduces roughness within 2 hours.
  • Apply morning and evening to face and neck after cleaning before application of other treatments. If used as part of a NIOD regimen, apply after LVCE and/or SS, but before CAIS. Can be used on body areas if desired to improve water density and/or target oxidative stressors. SDSM uses SOD to a peak saturation level. As such, over time, a very small amount of precipitate may be noticed, which will re-solubilize easily with a mild shake
