SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2

Triple Lipid 2:4:2 is unique anti-aging cholesterol dominant, corrective moisturizer to help restore skin's external barrier and support natural self-repair, while potently nourishing aging skin for improvement in visible signs of accelerated aging, skin smoothness, laxity, pores, and overall radiance.

Key Benefits of SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2

• Restores skin elasticity
• Improves skin fullness, texture and pore appearance
• Improves hydration levels and reduces laxity
• Hydrates and restore essential skin lipids: ceramides, natural cholesterol, and fatty acids

Clinical Study Results

Study A

• 66% improvement in smoothness
• 35% improvement in laxity
• 20% improvement in evenness
• 26% improvement in radiance
• 44% improvement in pore appearance

Protocol: A dermatologist-controlled 8-week clinical study on 55 subjects with twice daily application of Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2. Subjects also used SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser and Ultimate UV Defense SPF 30. Inclusion Criteria: Females ages 55-75 with moderate fi ne lines/wrinkles, uneven skin tone, skin dullness, skin roughness, lack of skin tone clarity, and lack of skin firmness.

Study B

Refills essential skin lipids

• 57% increase in ceramides
• 50% increase in cholesterol
• 12% increase in fatty acids in the form of triglycerides

Protocol: Lipidomics analysis (N=28 females aged 55-75). Statistically significant increase in lipids determined by spectrometric analysis of tape strips collected at baseline and after 8 weeks of twice daily application of Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2.

Study C

Restores external barrier

• 39% improvement in hydration 24 hours
• 8x faster external barrier recovery following tape stripping on treated versus untreated site.

Protocol: Corneometer and TEWL measurements on 25 females aged 55-75.

Study D

Supports natural repair

• 2x improvement in barrier quality (through stratum corneum cell maturation), signifying improved barrier quality

Protocol: Corneocyte double staining (N=26 females aged 55-75). Corneocytes were isolated by tape stripping and stained with nile red and involucrin antibody. Staining intensity was measured microscopically.

The Science Behind Skinceuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2

Lipids are natural compounds found in skin. While there are many kinds of lipids, ceramides, natural cholesterol, and fatty acids are the predominant forms. With age, lipid production declines, impacting barrier function and natural self-repair. As a consequence, accelerated visible signs of aging appear such as skin roughness, uncomfortable tightness, dullness, and loss of facial fullness.

SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore is the first anti aging cream with a 2:4:2 cholesterol-dominant ratio formulation of maximized concentration of pure lipids. Anti aging treatment refills cellular lipids to help support skin's natural self-repair and nourishment.
