ADVANCED SKINCARE

PREVENTION, PROTECTION AND CORRECTION

To maintain and improve skin health, an effective skincare regime must contain three fundamental elements – prevention, protection and correction. SkinCeuticals product philosophy and educational programs are built around these principles. Our line of advanced skincare products is designed to prevent future damage, protect healthy skin, and correct previous damage. At SkinCeuticals, achieving results means more than restoring youthful, radiant skin – it means preventing serious skin conditions, like skin cancer.

WHY SKIN AGES

Scientists have now proven that exposure to elements like Sun, smoke and air pollution can cause premature ageing. New research specifically shows that UVA rays, one section of the suns radiation, are responsible for premature ageing.

UVA rays generate free radicals that break down collagen and cause premature ageing.

UVA rays cause DNA mutations that lead to skin cancer.

UVA rays go to all layers of the skin; UVB rays go no deeper than the outer layers of the skin.

UVA rays penetrate glass, are present year round and are 1000 times more plentiful than UVB rays.

Most sunscreens don’t completely protect you from UVA rays

BROAD SPECTRUM SUNSCREENS

The best protection from UVA radiation is to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen that blocks both UVA and UVB rays. All skinCeutiacal sunscreens contain Z Cote (microfine zinc oxide), which protects from both UVA and UVB rays.

ANTIOXIDANTS

The body uses antioxidants to protect itself from free radical attack caused by UV exposure. Supplementing the body’s natural reservoir of antioxidants with a topical serum such as SkinCeuticals Serum 15 can provide additional protection from premature ageing.

Using a combination Antioxidant (serum 15) and a broad-spectrum sunscreen (Daily sun defense) is one of the most effective ways to protect yourself from premature ageing and to improve existing environmental damage on your skin,

Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

Improving age spots and hyperpigmentation

Lightening the overall appearance of the skin

Preventing additional environmental damage to the skin

Pioneers in Cosmeceutical Skincare

With dedication to developing advanced skincare backed by science SkinCeuticals has earned a strong reputation with the medical community worldwide. SkinCeuticals provides complete skincare solutions through dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and other skincare professionals in the United States and in over 35 countries worldwide. These experts trust SkinCeuticals to promote skin health – not trends .

The SkinCeuticals research team helped pioneer the advent of ‘cosmeceuticals’ with the development of a topical vitamin C formula that is scientifically proven to protect skin from premature signs of ageing caused by environmental damage.

Science shows that L-ascorbic acid is the only form of vitamin-C the body can use. Science also proves that L-ascorbic acid is essential for the production of collagen that it photo-protects and offers anti-inflammatory benefits. SkinCeuticals has a range of patented vitamin-C products that use L-ascorbic acid.

SkinCeuticals was one of the first companies to provide scientific evidence to document product’s benefits – supporting the publication of clinical studies in respected, peered reviewed medical journals usually reserved for pharmaceutical research. The company has formed networks with top scientists from the fields of cellular and molecular biology, chemistry, biophysics and medicine.
