SkinCeuticals was founded in 1997, and was originally intended to discover, develop, and deliver innovative dermatology products, which are geared toward augmenting skin health and appearance. In general, research has shown that skin ages due to many different factors, and it is not just due to aging. For instance, exposure to environmental factors such as sunlight, smoke, and air pollution all have a profound effect on the appearance and health of skin. The goal of SkinCeuticals is to provide you with advanced skincare backed by scientific evidence. When it comes to the scientific proof behind skincare technology, SkinCeuticals sets the standard in the cosmeceutical industry. They devote countless resources toward research at major medical institutions to support the technology behind their products. Their active ingredients are pharmaceutical grade, and the studies performed on our core products are peer reviewed. Skincare research shows that aging skin is the result of more than just years on the calendar.

Exposure to environmental elements like sunlight, smoke, and air pollution causes photoaging in skin. Not only does this lead to the formation of lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation – it can lead to more serious skin conditions, including skin cancer.

A comprehensive antioxidant program can help prevent photoaging and the onset of more serious skin conditions. Topical antioxidants have now been shown to provide up to eight times the skin’s natural protection from UV damage. Sunscreens are also an important part of the prevention process, although they cannot do it alone. Antioxidants protect your skin from the sun in ways that sunscreens can’t. When used together, antioxidants and sunscreens provide almost complete photoprotection – preventing photoaging, preventing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and promoting good skin health.  SkinCeuticals really focuses on sun damage prevention and repair. 

This means that all of their products contribute to the reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, and blemishes, as well as conditions such as skin cancer. SkinCeuticals anti-aging formula C E Ferulic, is advertised as being able to preserve skin health and reduce the signs and symptoms of aging.

Benefits of SkinCeuticals Skin Care Products

• Contains antioxidant technology which may protect again free radicals
• Once the products are absorbed like the CE Frulic it cannot be washed off.

Drawbacks of SkinCeuticals Skin Care Products

• Very expensive
• Need to watch the potency and expiration dates on the products.  I find that once opened the Arizona heat and air affects the product and the color changes.  I have been told that it is still effective, but I felt that the product was compromised and it appeared to me to be less effective. 

Bottom Line:

Clearly skin care is important, and choosing a product to protect and replenish the skin can help with maintaining skin health, and reduce the signs of aging. These products do work, but I have found less expensive products that work as well for less.  If you purchase it, you may want to keep it refrigerated and minimize opening the product.  When it comes to the CE Ferulic, I like to us ethe sample and refill it for my daily use and keep the bottle in the refrigerator.  This helps to keep it better.
