Irish Tatler – February 2004
The term ‘cosmeceutical’ is one that keeps cropping up in beauty circles, and SkinCeuticals is a US skincare range that falls somewhere between a cosmetic and a pharmaceutical product. Developed by a team of dermatologists and scientists, the line of Vitamin therapy treatments (primarily topical Vitamin C) and sun protection products work to protect the skin and prevent the onslaught of the aging process. To judge the results for yourself, book in for a facial with Anne Rossi, Ireland.

If I had a stick, I would write SUNSCREEN in big letters in the ice on your doorstep. That way, when you stumbled out of hibernation and stood blinking in the bright winter sun, you would remember the most important beauty product of the lot. The sun is responsible for, on average, 70 per cent of skin damage, and deciding to include sunscreen in your daily routine is probably the best beauty resolution you can make.

REVISE YOUR SKINCARE
Leading dermatologist Dr Karyn Grossman believes antioxidants should be an essential part of everyone’s daily skincare routine. “Just as brushing and flossing one’s teeth twice a day prevents tooth decay and gum disease, daily use of antioxidants and SPFs protects the skin from sun and environmental damage. Free radicals are one of the major causes of ageing, but antioxidants remove them from the skin. And free radicals aren’t just generated from the sun, but also from stress, cigarette smoke, pollution, inflammation in the skin, and even from dehydration – I don’t know anyone who isn’t exposed to at least one of these every day”. Put skin-brightening vitamins C+E and green tea top of your list. Grossman’s personal favourite includes SkinCeuticals Primacy C+E Serum, £58.00.

SMOKE ALARM
Most creams geared to smoker’s skin – Perricone’s Vit C Ester, SkinCeuticals and Cellex-C, among others – are cosmeceuticals featured varieties of topical Vitamin-C. These should be paired with the best and first habit that smokers and nonsmokers alike should adopt, daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen with UVA/UVB filters.

Patently scientific SkinCeuticals fuses form and function
As the increasingly competitive male grooming market continues to accelerate wildly, companies are forever seeking fresh means of elbowing their way into your bathroom comfort – modish packaging for example, or perhaps an ergonomically-aware bottle designed by a creative luminary you may well not have heard of.

Thrusting purposefully against this grain is US outfit SkinCeuticals, whose new male-centric skincare range is straight out of the chemistry lab in both form and function. It’s a collection of vitamin therapy and solar protection gels and serums that utilize pure Vitamin-C technology (to which it owns the patent) and come housed in a selection of brown bottles with pipette dispensers (a few drops rubbed into the skin is sufficient).

It’s undoubted medical worth is augmented by it’s distribution being limited to plastic surgeons, dermatologists and licensed skincare professionals. The ultimate in substance over style – which obviously makes it extremely fashionable”.

ORANGE AID
“Holidaying in Australia, Britney Spears was spotted in a local spa stocking up on cult line SkinCeuticls. Before leaving, the pop princess had bagged most of the range, including the best-selling Topical Vitamin-C Serum 15, plus face cream, eye balm and body polish. True, she may not have a wrinkle to speak of, but Britney has cottoned onto one salient fact; you’re never too young to prevent sun damage – the number one cause of aging.

Vitamin C is the latest weapon in our war on wrinkles, fine lines and sun spots. Why? Put simply, the sun’s rays, along with smoking, stress and pollution, produce an onslaught of what are called free radicals. These nasties destroy Vitamin-C, without which the body cannot maintain collagen – the substance we need to stop sags and wrinkles.

Apply SkinCeuticals Topical Vitamin C 15 daily and you should see an improvement in tone, texture and luminosity in a few days, while fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation and age spots will be less noticeable after three months.

One Vitamin C convert, Dr Mark Palmer, a British GP specializing in cosmetology, prescribes SkinCeuticals, recommending it for children even as young as ten. Topical C not only stimulates collagen growth and repair, he says, it’s a brilliant sunscreen.

And when shopping for your Vitamin C serum, ensure L-Ascorbic acid is the active ingredient, with a concentration of at least ten per cent, says Dr. Palmer. Some companies use derivatives of Vitamin C, like ascorbal palmitate, which don’t work as well. We know L-Ascorbic acid works very well, so why use anything else?

SPF IS A SKIN ESSENTIAL
Dr Lowe believes in using a separate SPF and moisturizer. “Tested sun screens offer the best protection” he says. You can up the protection factor by using a skin serum with Vitamins C and E, such as Topical Vitamin-C Serum 15 by SkinCeuticals (recommended by Dr Lowe and Dr Pinnell). Layered beneath your sun screen, it’ll increase your protection four-fold”.

SUNSCREEN’S NOT ENOUGH
Dr. Sheldon Pinnell, professor of dermatology at Duke University, USA, believes that sunscreens alone don’t give enough protection to your skin aging ageing and cancer. “You need antioxidants too”, he says. “They protect every cell in your body, and also protect the skin from sun exposure”. Dr Pinnell has researched ways of allowing antioxidants to be absorbed by your skin, and his SkinCeuticals range gives more lasting protection than sunscreens alone. He recommends you use the range plus your sunscreen.
