Advanced Skincare with Skinceuticals

Why SkinCeuticals?

SkinCeuticals product philosophy and educational programs are built around the principles of Prevention, Protection and Correction. Founded in 1997, SkinCeuticals discovers, develops and delivers innovative dermatology products that improve the overall health and appearance of the skin, using pure, pharmaceutical grade ingredients with proven scientific results. The formulations are based on optimal concentrations of active ingredients, designed, formulated and tested for effectiveness, with the entire Skincare program working as a complete system for maximum improvement to skin health.

Prevention & Protection

Environmental agents such as sunlight, smoke and air pollution increase the production in the skin, chemicals known as free radicals, which can accelerate the development of fine lines, wrinkles, loss of elasticity, discoloration, and even more serious problems such as skin cancer. Studies have demonstrated that even the best UVA/UVB sunscreens will only block a proportion of free radical action. Topical antioxidants however can complement the benefits of sunscreens by working below the skin’s surface to neutralise the effects of free radicals and protect against ultra-violet-induced damage. Using a combination antioxidant and broad-spectrum sunscreen can be one of the most effective ways to protect yourself from premature ageing and to minimise the effects of the environment on your skin.

SkinCeuticals has developed a full menu of super-antioxidant formulas for all skin types – designed to provide the most advanced protection from environmental ageing. SkinCeuticals’ sunblocks provide true broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection. This revolutionary line contains z-cote®, transparent zinc oxide, which protects skin from the damaging UVA rays proven to be responsible for premature signs of aging, unlike the pasty white zinc oxide sunscreens of the past. They are cosmetically elegant, which means increased protection using fewer sunscreen ingredients, reducing the chances of irritation.

Correction

SkinCeuticals’ Corrective products combine reparative, lightening, and exfoliating ingredients to help rehabilitate damaged skin, restoring a healthier and more youthful appearance.. Moisturizers are carefully formulated with multi-functional ingredients that nourish, protect, and exfoliate as they hydrate and restore elasticity. SkinCeuticals’ Cleansers and Toners include a variety of active ingredients such as hydroxy acids, botanical extracts, and cleansing agents to lift impurities and oils, gently exfoliate dead skin cells, and balance ph levels, leaving the skin feeling fresh and clean without increased dryness or oiliness.
