As a leader in skin health and research, SkinCeuticals is committed to developing skincare products backed by science that provide corrective benefits while promoting overall skin health. The latest addition to their advanced portfolio, Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 is the result of the brand’s groundbreaking research in Lipidomics, an emerging field studying lipids and their role in skin health. Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 refills cellular lipids to support natural skin repair and nourishment. This anti-ageing treatment restores fullness, resurfaces texture, and rediscovers radiance.

With age, lipid production declines, leading to a weakened external barrier and a reduction in skins natural repair with increased vulnerability against environmental aggressors. The clinical implications of lipid depletion include uneven texture, uncomfortable tightness, dullness, and loss of facial fullness.

Lipidomic studies have proven that a treatment containing ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids at an optimally balanced ratio of 1:2:1 is ideal for treating the needs of chronologically aged skin. Until now, it has been extremely difficult to formulate this ratio of pure, stabilized lipids at high concentrations.

As the first optimized 2:4:2 cholesterol-dominant ratios in an anti-aging treatment, Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 offers twice the concentration of lipids as the closest competitor. With a unique lipid stabilization system in a cosmetically elegant texture, the formula is lightweight and fast-absorbing, benefitting both aging skin and dry skin. The formula ingredients combine a maximized concentration of lipids:

2% pure ceramides – Ceramides 1 & 3 work synergistically to restore skin’s barrier function and nourish skin
4% natural cholesterol – Found in all cells of the body, cholesterol is essential for stabilizing the structure of skin’s barrier and maintaining skin’s elasticity.
2% fatty acids – Help to support lipid production to maintain balanced lipid levels in skin

Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 clinical results

Proven results demonstrate three key actions in skin:

Refill essential lipids: a 57% increase in ceramides, 50% increase in cholesterol, and 12% increase in fatty acids after 8 weeks.
Restore external skin barrier: a 39% improvement in hydration in just 24 hours.
Support skin’s natural repair: a 2x increase in mature corneocytes, signifying improved barrier quality after 8 weeks.

Clinical improvement across key signs of accelerated ageing after 8 weeks:

23% improvement in clarity
26% improvement in radiance
66% improvement in smoothness
35% improvement in laxity
44% improvement in the appearance of pores

This cholesterol-dominant corrective treatment restores fullness, resurfaces texture, and rediscovers radiance.

“For the first time, SkinCeuticals has managed to combine a potent concentration of ingredients in a highly corrective and nourishing treatment. This is for a patient that doesn’t want to choose between a corrective product and a moisturizer. You are giving back to the skin what it has lost.” – Christelle de Wit, Training Manager of SkinCeuticals SA.

Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 is part of a comprehensive, corrective skincare regimen. For 24-hour antioxidant prevention and repair it is recommended to use C E Ferulic and Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50 in the morning to help shield skin from environmental damage, and Resveratrol B E at night to boost skin’s resilience.
