About the brand
About SkinCeuticals
SkinCeuticals grew out of the topical antioxidant research of dermatologist Dr. Sheldon Pinnell and has been part of the L'Oréal group since 2005. The brand is built around research into topical antioxidants, and its best-known formula, C E Ferulic, pairs pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) with vitamin E and ferulic acid. SkinCeuticals positions its products around three steps: prevent, protect and correct. Prevent means daily antioxidant serums applied in the morning under sunscreen, such as C E Ferulic, Phloretin CF or Silymarin CF, each designed for different skin types and preferences. Protect means broad-spectrum sunscreen every day, with mineral options like Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50 and Sheer Physical UV Defense SPF 50. Correct covers targeted products for concerns like the look of uneven tone, dryness or texture, including Discoloration Defense, Hyaluronic Acid Intensifier and Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2, a moisturizer formulated with a ratio of lipids found in skin. A simple way to start is one antioxidant serum each morning, followed by moisturizer and sunscreen. Always patch test new products and follow the directions on each label.
