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.

Results may vary between individuals based on skin type and condition. All clinical statistics, improvement percentages, and efficacy claims are taken directly from clinical studies conducted by SkinCeuticals under controlled testing conditions.
