The Somme Institute is committed to the development of cosmeceuticals with visible, confirmed scientific benefits. A beautiful, clear, smooth complexion doesn't always come naturally. Make-up can camouflage flaws, but acne, premature aging, sun damage, and environmental stresses can take their toll on even the most perfect-looking skin. Although models appear to have naturally flawless complexions, they too have problematic skin like the rest of us. Since keeping their skin in optimal condition is critical to their careers, they have an even greater demand for a skin care regimen that delivers the perfect complexions they are required to project. Addressing this demand, the Somme Institute has treated the faces of elite models from exclusive agencies, including Ford, Wilhelmina, and Elite. Never before had they achieved such dramatic skin improvements as they had after using the Somme cosmeceuticals. They are now devoted clients.

For over 6 years, the Somme Institute has been testing and tracking the efficacy of ingredients used in skin care products found in department stores, drug stores, and dermatologists' private label brands on over 3000 participants. Through the use of sophisticated UV photography, the Somme Institute was able to detect which ingredients delivered results, and which were ineffective. All of the products that were tested fell short of their claims.
