Press Release

New from America quality skin care products backed by science

SkinCeuticals are pioneers in the field of topical vitamin-C technology and manufacturers of a new generation of skin care products, scientifically designed to protect and care for the body's largest organ, the skin.

SkinCeuticals has been distributed in the UK and Ireland since February of 2003 and already has some 40 customers – all of whom are experiencing incredible results with the product.

Unlike conventional "feel good" cosmetic and skin care products, SkinCeuticals is an advanced line of cutting edge, vitamin therapy treatments and sun protection products created by a team of leading dermatologists and scientists, including Sheldon R. Pinnell, M.D., The J. Lamar Callaway Professor of Dermatology at Duke University and Mostafa M. Omar, Ph.D., Professor of Pharmacognosy at The University of Rhode Island. SkinCeuticals products are backed by state-of-the-art medical research and are now distributed through dermatologists, cosmetic surgeons and licensed skin care professionals in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

SkinCeuticals products are formulated with the highest quality, scientifically proven ingredients including vitamins, botanicals and plant extracts, such as oil of evening primrose, chamomile, aloe vera, linden and algae extract; anti-oxidant vitamins Beta A, C and E; vitamins K and P; amino acids and proteins, and all natural blends of hydroxy acids, including glycolic, malic, citric, tartaric and lactic acids.

SkinCeuticals is best known for their topical vitamin-C skin products which feature the Duke patented technology for L-ascorbic acid at a low pH. Vitamin-C is L-ascorbic acid and while many modern skincare products contain vitamin-C research shows that ingredients such as magnesium ascorbyl phosphate or ascorbal palmitate are not recognized as vitamin-C by the body. Studies show that these other ingredients do not significantly increase levels of vitamin-C in the skin. Scientific research shows that vitamin-C helps stimulate the production of collagen, the skin's major structural protein, and that it offers photoprotective qualities. While
SkinCeuticals Topical Vitamin-C products were developed to protect skin from environmental damage, added benefits include helping the skin to appear firmer, softer and altogether in better condition than ever before, visibly improving skin tone and clarity.

SkinCeuticals also offers a full line of quality skin care products, including four state-of-the-art sun protection products, a collection of botanically-enriched moisture enhancers and moisturizers, and a full collection of hydroxy acid cleansers, toners, moisturizers and treatments -- all featuring a unique blend of five hydroxy acids. SkinCeuticals products integrate fully with other ranges within a salon environment.

Appearing at Professional Beauty Ireland for the first time, SkinCeuticals® UK & Eire Distribution (Crux Ltd)’s Managing Director, David Beesley, said that “Ireland is an important market – particularly when it comes to leading the way forward in embracing cutting edge products that truly do, over time, produce the results of repairing and preventing further UV damage, proven to be the cause of skin aging”.
