Skinceuticals

BODY

Skinceuticals body products contain nurturing blends of exclusive ingredients to exfoliate, moisturize, and improve skin tone and color. Our products work together to provide benefits such as hydration, antioxidant protection, increased smoothness, and restored elasticity to the entire body.

AOX BODY TREATMENT

This invigorating antioxidant body treatment protects against damaging environmental aggressors, lightly exfoliates dead skin cells, and deeply moisturizes dehydrated areas for smoother, healthier-looking skin. Formulated with grape polyphenols, ectoin, and vitamin E, AOX Body Treatment protects skin from free radical damage associated with daily aggressors such as diet, pollution, stress, and physical exertion, while visibly improving elasticity and firmness for a more radiant appearance.

Benefits

  • Three powerful antioxidants combat damaging free radicals
  • Lightly exfoliates dead skin cells
  • Helps diminish inflammation caused by UV exposure
  • Hydrates areas suffering critical moisture loss for resilient, healthy-looking skin

ADVANCED BODY FIRMING LOTION

Optimal for all skin types, this skin-firming treatment combines soy isoflavones, pure vitamin E, three nutrient-rich algae, and botanical extracts to firm, hydrate, and protect the entire body. The antioxidant and moisturizing properties counter moisture loss and elasticity while supporting the skin's regeneration process to restore healthy, buoyant, luminous skin.

Benefits

  • Firms, nourishes and hydrates body skin
  • Provides antioxidant benefits
  • Supports skin regeneration process
  • Improves skin's appearance
  • Ideal for all skin types

BODY POLISH

A rich, exfoliating body scrub containing Brazilian marine algae and botanical extracts, Body Polish eliminates dry, dull, flaky skin--revealing the even, smooth, and more radiant skin below. Unlike conventional exfoliating scrubs, Body Polish contains unique, smooth polyethylene beads and natural waxes that intensely exfoliate dull skin cells--gently, without damaging the skin. Perfect for use before treatment products, moisturizers, and self-tanners, and optimal for all skin types.

Benefits

  • Thoroughly removes dead surface cells without damaging skin
  • Provides emollient benefits in addition to exfoliation
  • Nourishes and hydrates body skin
  • Calms and revitalizes the skin
  • Prepares skin for body treatments
  • Easy application and rinse-off

SANS SOLEIL

San Soleil is a unique self-tanning lotion that delivers an even, natural-looking tan without exposure to the sun's harmful rays. Most self-tanning products use the tanning agent DHA (dihydroxy acetone), which when used alone can cause dryness and create an uneven, orange, unnatural-looking tan. Sans Soleil contains erythrulose, a unique DHA enhancer. The combination of DHA and erythrulose helps ensure a more even, streakless, longer lasting tan without increasing dryness.

Benefits

  • Combination of DHA and erythrulose delivers a better tan than DHA alone
  • Fades slowly, evenly, and naturally
  • Moisturizes the skin, eliminating the need for additional moisturizing products
  • No unpleasant chemical smell
  • Easy to apply, dries quickly, and won't stain clothing

FACIAL PROTECTION AND REJEVENATION

With many vitamin C products on the market today, it is important to choose a topical antioxidant serum with an effective formulation. When it comes to scientific proof behind skincare, SkinCeuticals sets the standard with published, peer-reviewed science, supporting the efficacy of our topical antioxidant serums. Studies at Duke University show that an effective topical vitamin C must possess the following characteristics:

  • It must contain pure L-ascorbic acid.
  • It must contain high concentrations of L-ascorbic acid for maximum efficacy.
  • It must be at acid pH.

The SkinCeuticals Difference

  • Formulated with pure L-ascorbic acid at high concentrations and a low pH
  • Neutralizes free radicals from the entire UV spectrum and other environmental sources
  • Prevents the formation of thymine dimers---sun-induced DNA mutations associated with skin cancer
  • Stimulates collagen synthesis to help diminish the appearance of environmental damage
  • Only one application needed daily---once absorbed, will not wash or rub off
    Combination Antioxidants...

Science shows that certain combinations of antioxidants, when effectively formulated, perform synergistically to provide better results than single antioxidant formulations. In the skin, each antioxidant works in concert with other antioxidants to provide the most effective protection.

Introducing new products from SkinCeuticals:

Blemish plus Age defense

1.5% Salicylic acid plus LHA technology to reduce oiliness, decongest pores, even skin tone, and smooth irregularities. Great for those over the age of 40 who still have oily skin. Use twice daily over the vit C serum.

Physical Fusion UV Defense 50 sunscreen

Light, tinted, Oil-free, paraben-free, chemical sunscreen free. Zinc and titanium based tinted physical protection. Great for oily skin or acne patients. Off-sets redness as well. Spreads on smooth, leaves no shine, and dries to a powder finish.

Retexturizing Activator

SkinCeuticals has developed a bi-functional gel that will exfoliate and hydrate at the same time. Perfect for all skin types and especially great for acne prone skin to reduce and prevent follicular plugging.

Pigment Regulator

Do you have brown spots, freckles or uneven skin tone? Theses are the signs of hyperpigmentation, which affect all skin types, ethnicities and ages.SkinCeutical's Pigment Regulator provides powerful, skin-brightening results without the potentially harmful side-effects of hydroquinone. In a recent clinical trial, Pigment Regulator was proven as effective as 4% hydroquinone. It provides reduction of brown spots, freckles, dark patches, and blotchiness as well as as improvement of overall skin tone for a brighter, more radiant appearance. Used along with proper sun protection, Pigment Regulator prevents future discolorations. Three powerful ingredients combat the steps of hyperpigmentation: 2% kojic acid, 2% emblica, and 10% Exfoliants (glycolic acid and aminosulfonic acid blend).

A.G.E. Interrupter

SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Interrupter is formulated for mature skin to prevent glycation and combat other natural processes involved in the complex phenomenon of intrinsic aging. Its multi-faceted formulation delivers three powerful ingredients proven to prevent and correct visible signs of intrinsic aging in mature skin.

Intrinsic aging, caused by internal factors such as hormonal shifts and metabolic slowdown, contributes greatly to skin sagging, creping, thinning, and cracking. While glucose is a vital cellular fuel, glycation causes unmetabolized glucose molecules to stick to collagen and elastin, leading to cross-linked fibers.This cross-linking forms chemical bridges between these proteins that result in advanced glycation end-products (A.G.E.). Glycated fibers become rigid, less elastic, and have reduced regenerative ability, which leads to damage such as laxity, cracking and thinning skin. Both glycation and glycoaminoglycan(GAG) depletion lead to the degradation of the extra-cellular matrix and the flattening of the dermal epidermal junction, resulting in sagging, creping, and severely wrinkled skin.

  • 4% blueberry extract: slows down the process of A.G.E. formation, preventing the rigidification of collagen and elastin fibers. It also helps protect non-glycated collagen types IV and VII from erosion and stimulates procollagen I and III (extra-cellular matrix components)
  • 30% proxylane (unprecedented concentration): stimulates GAG synthesis, restoring water and nutrient content in the dermal epidermal junction to increase elasticity and thickness--as if the skin's mattress has been re-inflated from the inside.
  • 0.2 % phytosphingosine: helps protect the skin's barrier to alleviate the discomfort associated with dry, aging skin and facilitates the skin's natural barrier repair process

Phloretin CF

SkinCeuticals has developed a new standard in antioxidant activity: Phloretin CF.Phloretin CF represents a new class of preventive and corrective topical antioxidant treatment. After five years of extensive research, SkinCeuticals developed this patent-pending breakthrough technology combining the newly-discovered, broad-range power of phloretin with vitamin C and ferulic acid in a biodiverse formulation to divide and conquer sources of damage at every level. Phloretin CF, a broad-spectrum treatment, protects not only against free radicals, but the range of other reactive molecules known to cause damage and DNA mutations among the integral cell types. In addition, it corrects existing damage by stimulating the synthesis of essential proteins and fibers and accelerating cell turnover. The result---a strengthened support structure on the inside and a more youthful, firm, radiant appearance on the outside.

Phloretin, the molecule, is derived from the bark of fruit trees such as apple, grapefruit, and pear. Phloretin has recently been studied for its use as a pigment-regulating and penetration-enhancing agent in the medical community. Lifestyle choices as well as daily exposure to environmental elements produce damaging reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as free radicals, oxygen ions, and peroxides in our skin leading to multiple pathways of oxidative stress. Phloretin's unique molecular structure is responsible for potent antioxidant activity in peroxynitrite scavenging. Prevention with Phloretin include anticancer, antifungal, antibacterial , antiviral, and anti-inflammatory benefits.

C E Ferulic

This revolutionary antioxidant combination contains 15 percent L-ascorbic acid, 1 percent alpha tocopherol, and 0.5 percent ferulic acid to deliver an unprecedented 8 times the skin's natural protection against environmental damage. Studies show:

  • C E Ferulic provides unmatched protection---meaning enhanced anti-aging benefits
  • C E Ferulic provides 8 times the skin's natural protection against environmental damage
  • C E Ferulic reduces sunburn cells up to 96 percent in UV irradiated skin
  • C E Ferulic prevents thymine dimers, DNA mutations associated with skin cancer

Epidermal Repair

Epidermal Repair is specifically formulated for skin compromised by cosmetic procedures ranging from microdermabrasion to laser resurfacing, as well as skin sensitized by retinoid therapy or harsh environmental aggressors. This therapeutic treatment contains a pure concentrated form of two highly effective, proven, healing ingredients to help relieve and rehabilitate compromised skin. Beta glucan and centella asiatica provide barrier protection for traumatized skin while accelerating the biological processes involved in skin healing. Clinically demonstrated to reduce redness, calm, and soothe skin, this cosmetically elegant formulation encourages patient compliance of daily usage during the critical healing period following rejuvenating procedures.
