C in conjunction with RENOVA work together as anti-aging products
by stimulating collagen formation, the substance that gives skin its firmness
& elasticity. 
Protects with the antioxidant strength of vitamin-C
The
most important part of preventing aging of the skin is to avoid sun exposure
and use SUNBLOCK daily! Until the advent of recently-patented technologies,
not one sunscreen or sunblock existed that provided both substantial UVA
and UVB protection without turning skin white. Recent scientific findings
reveal that it is the long UVA(340-400 nm) rays which cause photoaging.
Only two sunscreen ingredients (zinc oxide and Parsol 1789) protect in
this range, with zinc oxide being the preferred ingredient. By incorporating
two patented technologies in one sunblock product line , SKINCEUTICALS
provides superior sun care products for daily use.
SkinCeuticals SUNBLOCKS are far superior to any over-the-counter products
because it contains patented technologies: Z Cote, transparent
Zinc Oxide.

SkinCeuticals Topical Vitamin C-Products
SkinCeuticals Topical Vitamin-C products are an exclusive, patented innovative skin care line featuring stabilized L-ascorbic acid at a low pH. Originally developed as a preventative skin care treatment to protect skin from environmental damage, SkinCeuticals Topical Vitamin-C products, over time, visibly improve skin clarity, tone and texture and minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, leaving skin with a firmer, smoother, younger looking appearance.
SkinCeuticals unique stabilization process allows a higher concentration of ascorbic acid formulations without the irritation generally associated with topical vitamin c. SkinCeuticals Topical Vitamin-C products contain stable L-ascorbic acid at a low pH, which allows vitamin-C to be absorbed by the skin. The exclusive formulation is based on patented Duke technology licensed to SkinCeuticals. Most commonly marketed products utilize vitamin-C derivatives such as ascorbyl palmitate and magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, which must be converted to L-ascorbic acid in order to be used by the skin.
To be effective, vitamin-C derivatives must first get into the skin and then must be chemically converted by the skin's cells into L-ascorbic acid. Because the skin is difficult to penetrate and the enzymes necessary to convert these derivatives into L-ascorbic acid are not always available, derivatives are not very effective in delivering vitamin-C into the skin.
It is the Duke patented technology
developed by Dr. Sheldon R. Pinnell and his colleagues and the stability
technique mastered by Dr. Mostafa Omar which render SkinCeuticals Topical
Vitamin-C products effective. In addition, SkinCeuticals Topical Vitamin-C
products are designed to reduce the temporary stinging sensation that was
inherent in early topical vitamin-C formulations.
NO SkinCeuticals Topical Vitamin-C products contain Vitamin C in the form of L-ascorbic acid at the precise acid PH which allows it to be absorbed by the skin. No matter how much vitamin-C one ingests, body control mechanisms tightly limit the amount of vitamin-C that can enter the skin through ingestion. . Duke University research shows that stabilized L-ascorbic acid at low PH delivers 20 to 40 times more vitamin- C to the skin than can be achieved by diet or by supplement.
SkinCeuticals has developed a full menu of Super-Antioxidant Vitamin C formulas:
All five SkinCeuticals Topical Vitamin-C formulations work optimally with SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Gel, which contains hyaluronic acid - - the skin's natural moisturizer - - to help replenish moisture lost during any topical vitamin-C treatment.
- C+E - Fourfold photoprotection and unprecedented anti-aging benefits Vitamin C & E together form a synergistic antioxidant combination that provides unmatched protection from photoaging. This is a medical breakthrough product producing unprecedented preventive and anti-aging benefits to the skin and it also has the ability to help prevent the mutations in skin cells associated with the formation of skin cancer.
- Serum 20 Formulated with 20% L-ascorbic acid at the precise concentration to deliver maximum amounts of vitamin C to the skin. Although the revolutionary combination of C + E is the most effective, Serum 20 is a powerful antioxidant ideal for Normal to Oily Skin
- Serum 15 Formulated with 15% L-ascorbic acid - for all skin types
- Serum 10 Formulated with 10% L-ascorbic acid - Optimal for SENSITIVE and ACNEIC skin
- Serum C + AHA This two-in-one antioxidant treatment works by two different mechanisms to help improve the appearance of aging skin both inside and out. Below the surface, the 15% L-ascorbic acid helps protect and prevent premature signs of aging. On the surface, a 10% concentration of hydroxy acids exfoliates to smooth the skin incorporating both glycolic acid and lactic acid.
- Eye Gel 5% L-ascorbic acid to help decrease the appearance of puffiness and restore a smoother more radiant appearance around the delicate eye area.
Generally, yes, although it is recommended that you consult your doctor to be certain. SkinCeuticals Topical Vitamin-C products should NOT be used at the same time of day as these other products. The recommended regimen is an application of SkinCeuticals Topical Vitamin-C products in the morning and use of other acid or retinoid based products at night.
Like daily vitamins, the recommended regimen for SkinCeuticals Topical Vitamin-C products is one application per day to help diminish the appearance of fine lines. Using the products more than once a day may cause irritation. Therefore, they should only be applied more frequently if directed by a skin care professional.
Because topical vitamin-C photo protects
the skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays, daytime application is ideal. Duke
University research shows that once topical vitamin-C gets into skin, it
cannot be washed, rubbed, or perspired off and it remains active for up
to 72 hours. Therefore, SkinCeuticals Topical Vitamin-C products are ideal
for active individuals and athletes who spend a good amount of time outdoors.
SkinCeuticals Topical Vitamin-C products will start to be absorbed by the skin almost immediately. Because these vitamin-C products were developed as a preventative treatment with the goal of protecting the skin from further environmental damage, the skin should benefit the moment the vitamin-C is applied.
Vitamin-C is necessary for the production
of collagen, the major structural protein of the skin and although visible
differences will not be seen for approximately two months, you may notice
a visible difference in skin texture, color and tone in as early as a few
days. The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles should become less noticeable
within three to eight months. Individual results may vary, depending upon
the condition of the skin at the time of initial use.
No. This is what makes SkinCeuticals topical vitamin-C formulations so unique. SkinCeuticals Topical Vitamin-C products can be used in conjunction with any skin care regimen.
Given the precise formulation of SkinCeuticals Topical Vitamin-C products, it is important to apply them only onto clean, dry skin. Do not mix immediately with other products; simply wait a few minutes for the SkinCeuticals Topical Vitamin-C product to be absorbed, then proceed with the rest of your skin care regimen.
SkinCeuticals Topical Vitamin-C products are not moisturizers, so a water-based moisturizer should be applied afterwards to prevent dryness. To further protect skin from the harmful effects of the sun, a sunblock such as SkinCeuticals Daily Sun Defense or Ultimate UV Defense should be used with any vitamin-C product.
Daily Sun Defense SPF 20 is a state-of-the-art sunblock and lightweight daily moisturizer. Formulated with two of the most innovative and effective sunscreen ingredients available, it features a five percent concentration of Z-Cote® , a transparent, micronized form of the proven broad spectrum physical sunscreen ingredient, zinc oxide and a patented micro-encapsulated form of the sunscreen ingredient octyl methoxycinnamate for true broad spectrum protection against harmful UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) radiation, including long range UVA which is now proven to cause photoaging and is linked to skin cancers.
Specially formulated for photo-sensitive
skin, Ultimate UV Defense SPF 30 combines a never before available seven
percent concentration of Z-Cote with micro-encapsulated octyl methoxycinnamate
to provide the ultimate defense against UV radiation. Ultimate UV Defense
is ideal for individuals with conditions of increased photo-sensitivity,
as well as for individuals exposed to tropical climates, high altitudes
or prolonged sun exposure
Less than one-tenth of one percent of all people using SkinCeuticals Topical Vitamin-C products have had any difficulties. Some individuals experience a mild stinging when the product is first applied, which is attributable to the high acidic concentration necessary to get the L-ascorbic acid (vitamin-C) into the skin. Many individuals find this sensation subsides with continued use, specifically as the skin begins its natural healing process. SkinCeuticals' extraordinary Topical Vitamin-C products are specially formulated to benefit the skin with less discomfort. Dr. Omar's unique stabilization process provides higher concentrations with minimized irritation.
Yes. Due to a high concentration of vitamin-C and the acidic nature of the product, it is important to follow the instructions carefully. Products should be applied only to clean, dry skin and users should avoid placing the product directly on the eyelids. It also is recommended that contact lens wearers insert their contacts before application, or that they apply the product at night after their contacts have been removed.
No.
Yes.
Yes. As a matter of fact, research shows that topical vitamin-C offers photoprotective qualities. However, it is important to note that topical vitamin-C is not a sunscreen, so additional sun protection is still necessary.
Most individuals find the ideal time to apply vitamin-C is in the morning, because during the day you are more susceptible to sun exposure and L-ascorbic acid provides photoprotection from UVA/UVB radiation.
The best combination to prevent photoaging is to use SkinCeuticals Topical Vitamin-C in conjunction with a true broad spectrum sunblock such as SkinCeuticals Daily Sun Defense SPF 20 or Ultimate UV Defense SPF 30.
