OUR APPROACH TO SKINCARE FORMULA DEVELOPMENT
At SkinCeuticals, we formulate products with precise, optimized concentrations of potent cosmeceutical ingredients proven to absorb and deliver visible benefits for the Today,skin.SkinCeuticals develops technologies in partnership with international physicians and networks of top scientists from diverse fields including cellular and molecular biology, chemistry, and biophysics. This helps ensure our products possess the highest level of technology, relevancy, and efficacy for homecare and professional in-office use.
Our Integrated Skincare approach is centered on the belief that a combination of in-office aesthetic and professional treatments, alongside an advanced homecare regimen, is the ideal recipe to transform skin’s appearance.

PREVENT ANTIOXIDANT SERUMS
Sheldon Pinnell, M.D. SkinCeuticals Founding Scientist
26
“Skin is naturally built for repair. When bombarded by environmental assaults, the skin must focus on neutralizing oxidative damage which limits its capacity for reparative functions. Daily use of pure vitamin C antioxidants, when properly formulated to penetrate the skin, protects against damage and enhances self repair to reduce signs of aging.”
Formulated with a concentration between 10-20%.
Research shows that aging skin is the result of more than just years on the calendar. Exposure to environmental elements such as sunlight, smoke, and air pollution causes signs of premature aging in skin. Not only does this lead to the formation of fine lines, wrinkles, blemishes, and discoloration–it can lead to more serious skin conditions. Studies prove antioxidants effectively neutralize chemical reactions generated by exposure to environmental assaults.
WHY USE AN ANTIOXIDANT?
THE DUKE PARAMETERS
Formulated at an acidic pH.
SkinCeuticals was founded on the academic research of Dr. Sheldon Pinnell, who established and patented the first formulation parameters required for vitamin C absorption and efficacy in the skin. He and the SkinCeuticals research team helped pioneer the advent of cosmeceuticals with the development of the original topical vitamin C formula.
These parameters came to be known as the Duke Parameters, the gold standard for effective delivery of vitamin C to the skin.

Time, lifestyle, and genetics can all affect the behavior and appearance of the skin. Signs of aging such as fine lines, discoloration, and loss of elasticity become more visible due to collagen breakdown, slower cell turnover, and decreased moisture within skin. Alternatively, skin may experience an increase in sebum production or inflammation that may cause acne or rosacea.
SkinCeuticals corrective products are formulated with reparative, brightening, and exfoliating ingredients to help improve these concerns and restore a healthier, balanced, and more youthful-looking complexion.
