SkinCeuticals

Founded in 1997 by Dr. Sheldon Pinnell, this line is considered the gold standard in medical-grade skin care, and is a favourite of dermatologists, cosmetic surgeons, medical spas and celebrities. Dr. Pinnell and the SkinCeuticals research team helped pioneer the advent of “cosmeceuticals” with the development of the original formula for topical vitamin C.

If you had to name only one “holy grail” product from the line, it would likely be C E Ferulic®, which combines ferulic acid with vitamins C and E. This daytime serum is beloved by beauty editors and has won dozens of “best of” beauty awards for good reason — it packs a powerful triple-antioxidant punch and provides advanced environmental protection while helping to target lines and wrinkles, loss of firmness, hyperpigmentation and discolouration.

SkinCeuticals has a wide array of other advanced skin-care products centred on the line’s pillars of prevention, protection and correction — which include cleansers, toners, correctors, retinols, sunscreens, as well as serums for a range of complexion concerns. This line also excels in rosacea care, with its soothing Phyto Corrective Gel and Phyto Corrective Essence Mist, and Serum 10 AOX +.

A recent innovation, P-TIOX, is an amplified peptide serum that reduces expression wrinkles and enhances “glass-skin” radiance.

**The newest product, A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra Serum, increases collagen in all layers of the skin to rejuvenate and tighten the neck, jaw line, cheeks and forehead. This skin-lifting serum complements the facial-sculpting results of radiofrequency treatments, such as XERF™ and Potenza™.
