Anti-Aging and Antioxidant Skin Serums

Summer is in full swing, with record heat and blazing sunshine... are you doing all you can to protect your skin?

Do you know if you've been effected by the damaging rays of this hot Texas sun? Chances are, you have.

Even when you have the best skin care regimen in the world, and religiously use a suncreen, you can still suffer the consequences of photo-aging and free radicals that remain in the skin from harmful sun exposure. What can help? A powerful, daily topical antioxidant can help neutralize the free radicals that linger in our skin from damage caused by the sun's rays.

SkinCeuticals makes the very best antioxidant serums, each individual and customized blend is enriched with powerful vitamin-C, and designed to provide the most advanced protection from free radicals and environmental aging - or photoaging.

Did you know? Most of the issues we have with aging skin, such as pigmentation problems, dark spots, leathery texture, fine lines and wrinkles - all can be (and usually are) a direct result of prolonged sun exposure and UV radiation. And you already know - that UV exposure is the #1 cause of skin cancers.

There are a few options when it comes to antioxidant serums from SkinCeuticals, and each is a custom blend for specific purposes and types of skin.
  • C E Ferulic® is a combination of L-ascorbic acid, alpha tocopherol, and ferulic acid.

  • Serum AOX+ combines 10, 15 and 20% (you select the strength) L-ascorbic acid with ferulic acid to provide a punch of antioxidant and anti-aging benefits.

  • C+AHA is great for acne prone skin, and is a combination of 15% L-ascorbic acid and 10% mixed hydroxy acids - to assist in natural exfoliation.

  • Phloretin CF® is the choice for people experiencing hyperpigmentation, and is a broad-spectrum antioxidant treatment containing phloretin (a flavenoid found in apples), L-ascorbic acid, and ferulic acid.
All of the serums are meant to be used with a proper skin care program - including cleansing and moisturizing. AND most importantly - SUNSCREEN. Stay cool, and protect your skin.
