1999: C. Pourzand Links Iron Photoaging to Sunspots and Dr. Xi's Breakthrough

In 1999, C. Pourzand made a significant breakthrough, revealing a startling connection between UVA radiation, iron oxidation, and the formation of sunspots. This pivotal discovery not only deepened our understanding of photoaging but also paved the way for transformative advancements in skincare, including Dr. Xi's groundbreaking De-Ironizing Inducer (DII®) technology.


Pourzand's research shed light on the role of UVA radiation and photoaging. Specifically, Pourzand discovered that UVA radiation degrades ferritina protein that stores ironleading to the release of free iron ions. These free iron ions then catalyze the formation of harmful free radicals, contributing to oxidative damage, photoaging, and the formation of sunspots.


This revelation highlighted the urgent need for innovative approaches to combat photoaging and sunspots by targeting iron accumulation and oxidative stress within the skin. Enter i-On By Dr. Xi, whose pioneering work in skincare and wellness led to the development of DII® technologya game-changing solution that disrupts photoaging and sunspots by removing excess iron from the skin.

DII® technology leverages the power of calcite—a naturally occurring mineral—to effectively remove excess iron ions from the skin, preventing their harmful effects on cellular integrity and promoting skin health and vitality. By addressing the root cause of photoaging and sunspot formation, DII® technology offers a proactive approach to skincare that goes beyond surface-level treatments.


The importance of Dr. Xi's breakthrough cannot be overstated. By disrupting the cycle of iron oxidation and oxidative stress, DII® technology provides a comprehensive solution to combat photoaging and sunspots, restoring radiance and youthfulness to the skin. Moreover, DII® technology's holistic approach to skincare aligns with Dr. Xi's vision of promoting overall wellness and longevity from within.


As we continue to unlock the mysteries of skin aging and photoaging, Dr. Xi's pioneering contributions stand as a beacon of innovation and hope. Through ongoing research and development, Dr. Xi remains committed to pushing the boundaries of skincare, offering transformative solutions that empower individuals to look younger and live longer.
