Following 15 years of evolution, revolution and innovation, SkinCeuticals, the market leader in advanced scientific skincare, arrived in South Africa on June 1st 2012. SkinCeuticals was developed and perfected through decades of research and clinical trials in skin cancer research, the causitive effects of photoageing, and superior antioxidants. The science that helped pioneer the advent of Cosmeceuticals around the world. These revolutionary studies lead to the development of 10 antioxidant patents and 20+ peer reviewed studies on the science behind the brand.

OUR 3 CORE PRINCIPALS
Oxidation of the skin is one of the leading causes of skin ageing. The best defence against anti-ageing is in the fight against cell oxidation and must encompass:
- biological protection by providing a topical antioxidants to neutralise free radicals generated by our own body in response to external aggressions (UV rays, pollution, stress, tobacco etc). This is responsible for premature ageing of cells and skin
- physical protection “outside” with broad spectrum sunscreen to block harmful UV rays that accelerate skin oxidation.
- SkinCeuticals responds to different skin concerns by combining high quality strong active ingredient (ascorbic acid, alpha tocopherol, retinol and hyaluronic acid) and natural botanical extracts known for their efficiency (kojic acid, arbutin, ferulic acid and Arganyl). These active neutralise free radicals in the skin.
- PREVENT
ANTIOXIDANT SERUMS
The skin is designed to prevent substances from entering the body and as a result, the majority of cosmetic ingredients remain on the surface and are ineffectual. SkinCeuticals has discovered that only 4 antioxidants readily enter the skin. They are L-ascorbic Acid (vitamin C); a-tocopherol (vitamin E); Phloretin™ (from the skin of apples and other fruits) and Ferulic Acid™ (derived from bran and oats)
Antioxidants have the ability to neutralise free radicals that are generated as a result of environmental attacks (UV rays, pollution, stress, smoke etc.) and are proven to reinforce the skin’s natural defences against free radicals and prevent photoageing.
Broad spectrum SPF’s provide 55% protection from environmental free radicals, and we have discovered that by combining our SPF’s and our patented antioxidants, one can increase free radical protection by up to 96%.
- CORRECT
SPECIFIC CORRECTIVE TREATMENTS
Repair the skin thanks to powerful formulas enriched with reparative, brightening and exfoliating active ingredients, derived from dermatological practices and formulated in optimal concentrations, proven to penetrate optimally into skin.
- PROTECT
SUNSCREENS (Broad-spectrum filters)
Form a barrier against damaging UVA/UVB rays, responsible for the acceleration of natural ageing. These act on the surface of the skin, to provide protection from free radical attacks, in order to complement the action of antioxidants.
