SkinCeuticals sets the standard in the cosmeceutical industry with advanced skincare products such as antioxidant serum, sunscreen and skin lightening—all backed by scientific evidence.
Antioxidant Serum: The human body uses many internal antioxidant mechanisms to defend itself from oxidative damage, but excessive exposure to ultraviolet light as well as the natural aging process depletes the body of its internal supply of antioxidants. SkinCeuticals scientists and formulators have refined ways to stabilize and deliver additional amounts of key antioxidants into skin, thus adding to the body’s natural reservoir of antioxidants.
Sunscreen: Until the advent of recently patented technologies, there were no sunscreens that provided both substantial UVA and UVB protection without turning skin white. Only two sunscreen ingredients (zinc oxide and Parsol 1789) protect in this range, with zinc oxide being the preferred ingredient. By incorporating two innovative technologies (Z-Cote transparent zinc oxide and encapsulated octinoxate) in one sunscreen product line, SkinCeuticals provides superior sun care products for daily use.
Skin Lightening: The enzyme tyrosinase converts the amino acid tyrosine into melanin in the skin. Hyperpigmentation can result when too much melanin is produced. Ingredients such as arbutin, kojic acid, and thymol inhibit or suppress tyrosinase, preventing the appearance of additional pigmentation.
