Clinical Study Results

Study A

Clinical improvement in firmness, elasticity, and wrinkles

• 28% improvement in fine lines
• 31% improvement in skin firmness
• 32% improvement in wrinkles

Protocol: 16-week clinical study conducted on 50 Caucasian male and female subjects ages 40-60 years old (USA, 2013). Product applied once daily in the morning. For controlled results, subjects used SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser and Ultimate UV Defense SPF 30 daily, and emollience moisturizer as needed.

Study B

Environmental protection against UVA/UVB

• Significant reduction in thymine dimer count (DNA mutations caused by UVA radiation and associated with skin cancer).

According to a publication in the Journal Of Cosmetic Dermatology, 7 2008 (P. 290-297)

Study C

Environmental protection against IR-A

• 62% reduction in MMP-1 (an infrared-induced collagen-degrading enzyme).

According to a publication in photodermatal Photoimmunol Photomed 2014: 30: (P. 167-174)

Study D

Environmental protection against ozone pollution

• 52% reduction in HNE levels (HNE proteins are a marker of lipid peroxidation in the skin, generated by free radical attack on fatty acids in skin exposed to ozone. Their reduction indicated the reduction of cellular damage).

According to a SkinCeuticals study, accepted to be published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology in 2017

The science behind SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic

SkinCeuticals research shows that specific combinations of antioxidants, when effectively formulated, perform synergistically to provide results superior to every single antioxidant formulation. 

Published in 8 peer-reviewed scientific journals, CE Ferulic is a vitamin C serum formulated under the Duke Antioxidant patent. The Duke Antioxidant patent describes the effective delivery of vitamin C to the skin. In order for a vitamin C serum to be effective, it must be formulated with pure l-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) at an acidic pH within the 2.0-3.5 pH range and have a concentration between 10-20%. SkinCeuticals is the only brand to formulate antioxidants according to these parameters.

Shield Against Atmo3spheric Aging
Ground-level ozone (O3) pollution is shown to cause signs of premature aging. New ground-breaking SkinCeuticals science shows over-exposure to ozone pollution may cause visible skin aging, and topical antioxidant use can help prevent the impact of ozone damage to skin. For the first time ever, SkinCeuticals C E FERULIC was shown to help shield against signs of skin-aging induced by ozone (O3) pollution. Learn more about atmospheric aging and ozone pollution
