When Jhené Aiko dropped her skincare routine earlier this year, a few of us debated if we would go through so much work to achieve our personal skin goals.

- Fraxel laser twice a year
- IS Clinical serums, CeraVe face wash, and an exfoliator from Hollywood doctor, Dr. Lancer, who reportedly also works on Kim K and Beyoncé's face.

What is it? Skin Renewal says it's a "multi-targeting treatment is ideal for treating sun damage, poor texture, superficial pigmentation, uneven skin tone, dilated pores, lines & wrinkles, mild acne scarring and results in overall skin rejuvenation."
iS Clinical Active serum is distributed in South Africa by The Face & Body Institute and goes for about R1 800
