According to Skinceuticals, an effective skin care program must contain 3 elements: prevention, protection and correction. For prevention, the Skinceuticals line offers a number of formulas that tout ingredients such as L-ascorbic acid and AOX+ advanced antioxidants to challenge the effects of free radicals. In addition to the above antioxidants, Skinceuticals C E Ferulic claims to ramp up its antioxidant power by also adding ferulic acid and 1% alpha tocopherol (vitamin E) to its formula. For correction, Skinceuticals Retinol 1.0 contains the highest concentration available today and promises to help stimulate cell regeneration and build collagen to diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots.
According to the company, the SkinCeuticals research team helped pioneer the advent of cosmeceuticals with the original topical vitamin C formula that protects skin from premature signs of aging caused by environmental damage.
