Physician-grade products to extend, protect, and deepen the results of every treatment.
In-office treatments do the heavy lifting, but what you use at home in the days and weeks after is what determines how long — and how well — those results last. Essence by Shine carries a curated, physician-grade skincare line from two trusted brands: ALASTIN Skincare and VI Derm. Every product below is available for purchase during your visit — ask which ones make sense for your skin and your treatment plan.
ALASTIN is best known for its patented TriHex Technology — a proprietary blend of peptides formulated to help the skin clear out damaged, non-functional collagen and elastin while supporting the body's own production of healthy new collagen and elastin. It's the reason ALASTIN's serums are the most commonly recommended pre- and post-procedure skincare in aesthetic practices — they support the skin's natural repair process at exactly the moments it's working hardest.
A lightweight, fast-absorbing serum built on TriHex Technology, blended with nourishing botanical oils (marula, camelina, ximenia). It's formulated to help clear damaged collagen and elastin from the skin while encouraging the growth of healthy new collagen and elastin — supporting firmer, smoother, more resilient skin over time.
This is ALASTIN's flagship serum and the one most often sent home before and after in-office procedures, but it also stands on its own as a nightly anti-aging serum for fine lines, uneven texture, and loss of elasticity.
A richer, more emollient sibling to Regenerating Skin Nectar, built on the same TriHex Technology base but formulated with additional barrier-supportive ingredients — ceramides and antioxidants — for skin that needs extra comfort and hydration.
It's the product reached for immediately after a resurfacing procedure, when skin is at its most compromised and sensitive, and it doubles as a year-round moisturizing serum for drier or more mature skin types that want the regenerative benefits of TriHex without a lightweight finish.
A triple-action brightening serum combining tranexamic acid, alpha arbutin, and niacinamide — no hydroquinone — to target dark spots, sun damage, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation left behind by breakouts or past irritation.
Because it addresses discoloration through several pathways at once rather than a single active, it's commonly layered into a maintenance routine between in-office brightening treatments to keep tone even and results progressing.
A tinted, broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen formulated to be gentle enough for freshly treated or reactive skin while still providing a sheer, universal tint that blends across skin tones and antioxidant support against environmental stress.
Daily SPF is non-negotiable after nearly every treatment on our services menu, and especially so after anything that resurfaces or brightens the skin — unprotected skin can undo weeks of progress in a single afternoon.
An oil-free daily moisturizer formulated with peptides and hyaluronic acid to hydrate without heaviness or clogged pores — built for combination and oily skin types, or anyone who wants hydration under makeup or SPF without a greasy after-feel.
A simple, everyday layer that rounds out a routine built around any of the serums above — hydration first, without competing with brightening or regenerative actives.
VI Derm is the home-care line from VI Peel — formulated specifically to work alongside a VI Peel series, protecting and maintaining results between in-office visits. Products are built to be compatible with resurfacing, actively peeling skin, which is a different bar than typical over-the-counter skincare.
A broad-spectrum SPF 50 daily sunscreen formulated to be compatible with peeling and resurfacing skin. It's the product that protects the new skin revealed after a VI Peel and prevents the rebound pigmentation that unprotected sun exposure can trigger during the healing window.
A brightening serum designed to fade stubborn hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and melasma in the weeks between VI Peel treatments — extending and reinforcing the brightening momentum a peel series builds, rather than letting it plateau between sessions.
A growth-factor serum that supports the skin's natural regeneration and collagen production. Used after a peel, it helps accelerate healing and reinforces the firming, collagen-building results the treatment is designed to deliver — or it can be used as a standalone regenerative addition to a broader anti-aging routine.
