Besides the medical industry, makeup artists also use silicone frequently in their work. In fact, SilcSkin’s founder, Camille Calvet used silicone when she was working on major motion movies, and it was from her experiences that SilcSkin was formed. Silicone is the most common material used for prosthetic makeup. It’s durable, and pieces can be as thin as a few layers of skin. For instance the Klingon prosthetics on the Star Trek movies uses silicone as a base for the awesome final makeup. The effects of medical-grade silicone on the body leaves the skin looking smooth and refreshed — resulting in a rapid reduction in the severity of wrinkles, fine lines, and scars. The following are real life testimonials from professionals in the makeup industry who have used SilcSkin’s medical-grade silicone for their personal use.
“Not only did these amazing silicone patches come from the experience of an accomplished makeup artist, they are the originals! I apply these to my actors and myself! The great thing about SilcSkin patches is that you can see results immediately, great for special events!”

“One of my favorite products from SilcSkin is the Hand & Body Treatment. It leaves your hands so silky and feels absolutely amazing. My other use for it is as a barrier/primer to protect your skin from makeup and specialty costumes helmets.
Absolutey LOVE.””

“Silcskin is one of my go-to’s. I sleep on my side and have lines on my neck and chest. I shower, apply the chest and neck pads while I get coffee, and do my makeup. It smoothes me out. It’s a quick fix. I use Silcskin as part of my client skin prep. It’s great to smooth out tech lines too! There is never an allergy or intolerance like with some skincare products! It is such a simple and effective product.”

“I can not say enough about SilcSkin Decollette pads!!! I use them every night and have them from the moment I tried them!!! They are the BEST!!! It’s that beauty item I will never live without. If you get chest wrinkles from side sleeping… worry no more. I also put them on while getting ready to go out, for an extra smooth appearance. They have other great products and no imitations will work the way this does. I recommend them to all the actress’s I work with. It’s a true life and beauty game changer. A must have beauty item! Try them. You will feel beautiful…”

“SilcSkin brow, eye, neck and décollette pads are a must to have in your beauty regiment. They are a great wrinkle preventative tool. I’m a side sleeper and the decollette pads prevent any wrinkles from happening. They are comfortable to sleep with and I cannot sleep without them. I also notice a great difference when I use the neck pad because we all know the neck is the first place to see age. I do use the eye pads for puffy eyes and as a barrier when doing eyeshadows. This was a tip I was given and it’s awesome! I put the pads in the fridge and use these under my actors eyes when doing strong shadows. You get no fallout on the face as well as an eye treatment all in one. Then you just put the pads back in the fridge and reuse again and again. I think all their products are life changing. I use them on myself and my actors and I don’t think you need to be on camera to use them. Try them and you’ll know why we use them in the film industry - they work :)”

“I have been using traditional eye gels on my actors for years. The SilcSkin eye patches are superior in drawing moisture to the under eye area and smoothing out the fine lines and eliminating puffiness. They are cost effective as well because they are not a one time use product. I'm a big fan and they have become a staple in my kit.”

“I love silcskin products! I have been using silcskin products on myself and on my actors for years. On a shoot where I needed to make an actress look 10 years younger. I had the actress wear the facial, neck and Décolleté Pads every night for four nights before the shoot. The day of the shoot the director of photography came up to me saying wow, how did I do it? I also use the under eye pads while applying eyeshadow — this protects the skin from any falling eyeshadow and gets rid of under eye puffiness and fine lines all at the same time. Being introduced to SilcSkin products has been a blessing. The more consistently you use SilcSkin products the better the results — a noticeable difference. SilcSkin hand lotion is my all time favorite hand lotion, and a great gift idea. I definitely feel SilcSkin products are a must have.”

“I love all of Silcskin’s products, especially the pads. I use them whenever I can — on my actors and especially on myself! Not only do I wear them to sleep to look line-free in the morning, I wear them whenever possible during the day — while I’m doing chores around the house or studying scripts. They are also great for preventing new belly-folds around the belt area! Here’s a secret — when I’m wearing a mask in public, I even put them on my nasal-labial folds and under my chin! I figure I’ve saved at least a couple of years of aging by wearing Silcskin pads!”
