SkinCeuticals Glycolic Renewal Cleanser
R780.00
A daily exfoliating cleansing gel that targets dullness and rough skin texture for a clear and bright complexion. The effectiveness of glycolic acid is determined by its free acid value, which depends on 2 factors:
- Concentration: a 4-10% glycolic acid is the ideal concentration for nightly use.
- pH: low pH formulas preserve the strength of the glycolic acid for optimal efficacy on the skin.
Glycolic Renewal Cleanser is formulated with a concentration of glycolic acid that delivers a true 8% glycolic free acid value at a pH of 3.5. Combines a powerful blend of exfoliating and soothing ingredients to improve skin texture, tone, and radiance.
SKIN TYPES
Dry, Normal, Oily, Combination
SKIN CONCERN
Dehydrated, Acne, Ageing
FEATURES

SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF
R2860.00
A patented daytime vitamin c antioxidant face serum that delivers advanced environmental protection and diminishes the appearance of fine lines and discolouration.
SkinCeuticals research shows that specific combinations of antioxidants, when effectively formulated, provide superior results to each single antioxidant formulation.
Phloretin CF is a triple antioxidant cocktail formulation shown to provide broad-range environmental protection due to a synergistic combination of 2% phloretin, 10% pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), and 0.5% ferulic acid. It is formulated under the Duke Antioxidant patent.
Vitamin C is a highly potent antioxidant that is, by its structure, difficult to effectively deliver on the skin. The Duke Antioxidant patent describes the formulation parameters required for effective delivery of vitamin C to the skin:
- pure l-ascorbic acid (vitamin C)
- An acidic pH within the 2.0-3.5 pH range and
- A concentration between 10%-20%.
SkinCeuticals is the only brand to formulate antioxidants according to these parameters.
SHIELD AGAINST ATMOSPHERIC AGING – SkinCeuticals defines atmospheric ageing as the visible result of a range of environmental aggressors on the skin, including UV, infrared radiation (IRA), and pollution. Ongoing SkinCeuticals research shows that over-exposure to these aggressors may cause visible skin ageing, and topical antioxidants can help prevent the impact on skin.
SKIN TYPES
Normal, Oily, Combination
SKIN CONCERN
Discoloration, Acne, Aging
FEATURES
Phloretin CF features a patented synergistic combination of 2% phloretin, 10% pure vitamin C (l-ascorbic acid), and 0.5% ferulic acid for enhanced protection against atmospheric skin ageing – environmental damage and premature signs of ageing caused by free radicals from UVA/UVB, infrared radiation (IRA), and ozone pollution (O3). In addition to antioxidant protective benefits, Phloretin CF improves the appearance of discolouration, fine lines, and uneven skin tone.
BENEFITS
- Provides advanced environmental protection by neutralizing damaging free radicals
- Improves the appearance of discolouration and overall skin tone
- Once absorbed, this vitamin C serum remains effective for a minimum of 72 hours

- Ideal for normal, oily, and combination skin types
HOW TO USE
In the morning after cleansing and toning, apply 4-5 drops to a dry face, neck, and chest before other skincare products. May be used on the back of the hands. It is normal for vitamin C products to darken after opening due to air and light exposure. The formula will remain effective. Once opened, it is recommended to be used within 3 months of opening.
Complete your regimen with a SkinCeuticals sunscreen. When used together, SkinCeuticals antioxidants and broad-spectrum sunscreens provide the most complete protection against visible ageing caused by environmental aggressors.
