Science

Lipids are natural compounds found in skin. While there are many kinds of lipids, ceramides, natural cholesterol, and fatty acids are the predominant forms. With age, lipid production declines, impacting barrier function and natural self-repair. As a consequence, accelerated visible signs of aging appear such as skin roughness, uncomfortable tightness, dullness, and loss of facial fullness.

In a 8-week study, Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 significantly improved the appearance of key visible signs of accelerated aging:

• 66% improvement in smoothness
• 35% improvement in laxity
• 20% improvement in evenness
• 26% improvement in radiance
• 44% improvement in pore appearance

Protocol: A dermatologist-controlled 8-week clinical study on 55 subjects with twice daily application of Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2. Subjects also used SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser and Ultimate UV Defense SPF 30. Inclusion Criteria: Females ages 55-75 with moderate fine lines/wrinkles, uneven skin tone, skin dullness, skin roughness, lack of skin tone clarity, and lack of skin firmness.

The first anti aging cream with a 2:4:2 cholesterol-dominant ratio formulation of maximized concentration of pure lipids. Anti aging treatment refills cellular lipids to help support skin's natural self-repair and nourishment.

Science

Aging skin prone to breakouts has a unique set of needs. As skin ages, it experiences a natural loss of moisture and slowdown in the cell turnover cycle, which may cause excess dead skin cells to clog pores and result in breakouts. However, many traditional blemish fighting ingredients have the potential to dry out skin. This can exacerbate the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Effective daily cleansing and exfoliation can help decongest pores and remove excess sebum and dead skin cells.

Pore-refining gel cleanses, exfoliates, and soothes normal, combination, or oily skin.

Ingredients

Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat dry.

If using in the morning, follow with a SkinCeuticals vitamin C serum and sunscreen. If using in the evening, follow with a SkinCeuticals corrective product or moisturizer.

Science

Surface debris such as oil and sweat, pollution, makeup residue, and dead skin cells can clog pores, leading to a dull, uneven skin tone and rough skin texture. Proper daily cleansing and exfoliation can effectively remove dead skin cell buildup and clarify skin tone.
