SkinCeuticals Advanced Topical Antioxidants Discover the benefits of SkinCeuticals antioxidant formulations and new testing against atmospheric aggressors An antioxidant is the cornerstone of any topical skincare regimen to improve skin health and quality. With over 30 years of research, four generations of antioxidant breakthroughs and more than 20 peer-reviewed studies, SkinCeuticals provides advanced, clinically proven, synergistic formulations of potent Vitamin C.
Setting the standard in efficacy Only the SkinCeuticals Vitamin C antioxidants meet the strict Duke University formulation parameters essential to deliver enhanced absorption and proven efficacy:1 • Pure l-ascorbic acid: topically delivered l-ascorbic acid has been shown to increase vitamin C levels in skin • High concentrations of pure l-ascorbic acid: 10-20% concentration provides meaningful levels of vitamin C in skin • Formulated at an acidic pH below 3.5 for optimal delivery in skin Before
Ultimate protection and visible benefits C E Ferulic, Phloretin CF and Phloretin CF gel provide 8x the skin’s natural environmental protection.1 Daily use of C E Ferulic or Phloretin CF is strongly recommended because these have been proven to neutralise free radical damage from environmental aggressors such as UV, infrared radiation-A and Ozone (O3) pollution. Importantly, these products also offer visible, proven benefits on key anti-ageing markers, delivering high patient satisfaction.
New testing: C E Ferulic & the effects of atmospheric aggressors Traditionally, the effects of atmospheric aggressors on the skin have been tested individually. In a first for SkinCeuticals, a new study exposed skin explants to varying combinations of ultraviolet light (UV),2 Ozone (O3) and diesel engine exhaust (DEE) that our skin would experience in a typical, urban environment. By combining the top three atmospheric aggressors, SkinCeuticals has created a clinical environment that mirrors the conditions our skin goes through every day in an urban environment. Topical treatment with C E Ferulic was shown to effectively prevent oxidative damage, inflammation, and skin protein damage induced by combined aggressor exposure.
“Today, with more than 90% of the world’s urban population estimated to be living with pollutant levels in excess of WHO standard limits, being able to provide antioxidant serums that help to counteract the negative impact of ozone pollution on skin is of huge significance” Renowned Harley Street dermatologist Dr Ariel Haus
