Prevent and Protect

Although aging is inevitable, how well you age depends on how you take care of your skin, starting long before you notice that first wrinkle. Begin an effective skincare regimen now by investing in a few select products that will offset premature aging and protect your skin from environmental damage for years to come.

SkinCeuticals Ultimate UV Defense SPF 30 is an oil-free, broad-spectrum facial sunscreen specifically designed for everyday use. UV damage is one of the most prominent causes of premature aging, making daily application of sunscreen to both the face and body a vital task. Sunscreens are available for every skin type and should be used by everyone, at any age — it’s never too early to start thinking about preventing sun damage.

SkinCeuticals Serum 15 AOX is a potent, lightweight serum formulated with ferulic acid and vitamin C — two potent antioxidants that fight environmental aging. Antioxidants defend cells against free radical damage from pollution, UV light, stress, and cigarette smoke, to name a few. Look for products that contain vitamins A, C, and E, coenzyme Q10, or grape seed extract to combat wrinkles and fine lines before they appear on your face, leaving skin toned, radiant and youthful.

Correct

Don’t think it’s too late to reverse existing damage to skin. Whether you spent years sunbathing or wore sunscreen on a daily basis, sooner or later, environmental damage begins to take its toll, which is where science comes in. There are dozens of products designed to address the many signs of aging, such as: wrinkles, dryness, age spots, crows feet and frown lines.

SkinCeuticals Renew Overnight is a refining moisturizer enriched with a 10% hydroxy acid blend to smooth and minimize wrinkles, discoloration and age spots. AHAs work by dissolving the dead, top layer of skin to reveal the fresh, smoother skin hiding underneath. Commonly used AHAs include glycolic acid, lactic acid and citric acid. In addition to their role in smoothing wrinkles and fine lines, AHAs can also help even out skin tone and brighten the complexion. First time users should slowly introduce their skin to alpha-hydroxy acids by choosing a product with a low percentage of active ingredients or using their desired product once, every other day, until the skin has developed a tolerance to daily use.

SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5 is a .5% retinol treatment, gentle enough for first-time retinol users or even sensitive skin. Retinol, a derivative of vitamin A, is believed to stimulate collagen production, softening wrinkles, fading age spots and firming sagging skin, leading to younger-looking and more resilient skin with continued use. Like AHAs, skin may require time to adjust to retinol products so always start with a lower percentage of active ingredients and for retinols, only use once-per-day, at night.

SkinCeuticals Intense Line Defense, with hyaluronic acid and a 12% hydroxy-acid blend, both moisturizes the skin and exfoliates away dead skin cells, leaving behind a healthy glow. In particular, the dual-properties of this high-potency serum are ideal for women with dry or mature skin, who may not tolerate traditional AHA treatments, yet yearn for their unique skin benefits. The hyaluronic acid will draw moisture to the skin, preventing dryness or flaking while the alpha-hydroxy acids will minimize the appearance of lines, wrinkles and pigmentation. Use nightly.

Acne

Frustrating as acne may be, SkinCeuticals has developed a set of products that work together synergistically, finally allowing you to bid acne, adieu. Reviewers found the SkinCeuticals Acne Care System, a 4-part kit that works to deep-clean pores and refine congested complexions not only effective, but gentle, as well. The Clarifying Cleanser, with salicylic, glycolic and mandelic acid powers away dirt, oil and dead skin which can clog pores while the Blemish Control Gel attacks individual blemishes when they occur with 1% salicylic. For night, the Retinol 0.5 treatment further refines the appearance of blemishes and corrects uneven skin tone. Finally, the Clarifying Clay Masque combines Kaolin and Bentonite clay to remove impurities and decongest pores. Use weekly over the entire face, or — for especially troublesome breakouts, dot directly onto blemish nightly for quicker results.

Moisturize

Whether skin is naturally dry or you suffer from flakiness and irritation associated with cosmetic procedures, effective hydration is critical and begins with the right ingredients. Vitamin B5 and hyaluronic acid are 2 of the most effective ingredients for dry skin. A natural humectant, hyaluronic acid helps to bind moisture to the skin, maximizing the effects of a daily moisturizer while vitamin B5 helps with tissue repair. Look for both in SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Gel.

For those looking for a lightweight daily moisturizer, SkinCeuticals Daily Moisture contains burnet, cinnamon and ginger to shrink the appearance of large pores without leaving skin feeling heavy or looking oily, while vitamin E helps to heal and protect. Ideal for normal or oily skin types, this non-greasy formula is also enriched with Brazilian sea algae, proteins, amino acids and essential oils.
