Professional cosmetics SkinCeuticals began its historical procession in pharmacies in Moscow and the Moscow region in 2009 and since then has been the main therapeutic and corrective agent recommended in dermatologists' offices. Before getting on the shelves of demonstration stands and in free sale, each innovative development undergoes clinical testing in laboratory conditions and with the participation of approbants. To date, the American brand of cosmetics "Skin Suites" is considered one of the most prescribed in Russia means to combat severe skin problems and prevent early signs of aging.
At the heart of the idea
All the tremendous work on the creation of Skin Sutikals preparations with antioxidants follows the basic idea, on the basis of which the motto of the improvement project is formed: “Prevention - Protection - Correction”. According to the developers, only following the right skin care algorithm can lead to the expected results. In other words - only by preventing the development of a problem, you can begin to take measures to protect it, and at the same time - only skin that is sufficiently protected from negative factors will be able to improve and keep the result.
There are a large number of reviews on the Web about Skin Suites as a kind of “streaming” production of funds, among which it is very difficult to determine “your”. Some consumers complain - the line is so rich in nuanced drugs that the basic ones are literally lost. Later in the article, a list and characteristics of fixed assets aimed at eliminating key skin problems will be given. Here it’s also appropriate to cite the frequently encountered postscript from the manufacturers of Skin Suites, saying that any development drugs should be used only as prescribed by dermatologists and only after appropriate examination.
Production of the company
A full review of Skin Suites can be found on the company's official website. Some drugs presented in the demo tape are recommended for use only in specialized salons under the supervision of cosmetologists, while others will be appropriate for home use. In both cases, we must not forget that the epidermis must be acted upon in three directions at once: preventing the development of the problem, protecting the skin from the negative influence of the environment and eliminating imperfections with fixing a positive result for a long time.
For these purposes, more than thirty items of cleansing, nourishing and corrective products have been created that need to be combined with each other, taking into account the characteristics of the skin and the degree of required exposure.
Conducted research
By laboratory research, most consumers understand the initial stage of creating a unique formula and, subsequently, testing a product created on the basis of this formula. However, the real scheme of clinical tests is multi-stage - the same components are tested in different concentrations and degrees of aggressiveness until the level of their presence in the composition of the drug reaches an ideal balance with other elements.
In the process of creating a unique program for the restoration of the epidermis, the manufacturers of Skin Suites conducted six basic studies that formed the basis of all cosmetic preparations of the line:
- The study of the speed, quality and absorption of locally applied vitamin C into the layers of the epidermis. This study paved the way to immersion in the science of antioxidants and subsequently became a reference model for creating other similar formulas.
- The effect of topical antioxidants on the protective properties of the skin. During the tests, it was found that only daily application of antioxidant-containing products can protect the skin from harmful factors from the outside and prevent changes in the cell structure in the epidermis layers.
- Determination of the degree of skin protection from UV radiation when applied to her sunscreen substance. It is proved that standard SPF protection establishes a barrier between harmful rays and skin with a degree of ray penetration of more than 50%. At the same time, a product with the formula SkinCeuticals increases the density of the barrier to almost 100%.
- Synthesis of an antioxidant composition with ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and tocopherol (vitamin E), which is eight times higher than the epidermis’s own protection against UV radiation and does not allow skin damage that may be associated with ultraviolet radiation.
- The study and introduction into production of a special antioxidant for skin aging phloretin, as well as plant hydroxycinnamic (ferulic) and ascorbic acids. This compound prevents DNA alteration and the destruction of intercellular bonds in the deep layers of the skin, which with age manifest themselves in the form of photoaging and weakening the protective properties of the epidermis.
- The development of special formulas of the double barrier against photoaging, based on the proof that insufficiently deep cleaning of the epidermis and the influence of ultraviolet radiation make up more than 80% of all visual signs of skin aging.
In the right course of Skin Ceuticals preparations, all kinds of unique developments will be involved that can fight aging at any stage of a problematic skin condition.
When is SkinCeuticals cosmetics used?
It is impossible to protect the skin from aggressive environmental influences, only avoiding places with disturbed ecology and giving up bad habits. Temperature changes, ultraviolet, smog or synthetic particles floating in the air from commonly used fragrances - all this destroys the protective barriers of the epidermis, changing the structure of cells and DNA.
Over time, harmful substances accumulate at the cellular level, partially stopping the ability of the epidermis to resistance and self-healing. Outwardly, this manifests itself in an effect that is understood as visual aging of the skin - a net of wrinkles, sagging skin, swelling, and a gray complexion appear. Obtaining antioxidants from the outside, presented in the form of a local remedy - Skin Cosmetics cosmetics - in this situation will be the only option to save the skin and prolong its youth.
Prevention of signs of aging
Normally, within the boundaries of the effectiveness of a traditional cosmetic product with sunscreen properties, there is only the protection of the epidermis from the effects of free radicals - chemical compounds of atoms with unstable valency. Why are they dangerous? The fact is that these free molecules in the body start the processes of inhibition of normal metabolism, which literally leads to the destruction of cells in the deep layers of the epidermis.
The best of the tested modern products, designed to prevent the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation on the skin, showed real effectiveness of just over 50% of the required level of protection. Competent reviews of Skin Suites confirm laboratory data - only barrier filters combined with the strength of natural antioxidants can prevent DNA signal distortion and cell destruction by free radicals. Developed on the basis of key studies, the unique skin antioxidants of Skin Syuticals enhance the protective properties of the skin without compromising the maintenance of an optimal moisture level.
Correction of signs of aging and skin problems
As stress resistance increases, the reserve nutritional reserves of the skin increase, its resistance to free radicals increases, and the condition of the skin begins to improve rapidly. The noticeable effect of rejuvenation occurs much later than other signs of improvement; therefore, it is not recommended to interrupt or cancel the course use of Skin Cosmetics immediately after the primary results are achieved.
As a rule, among the first successful achievements with the help of the company’s means there is a decrease in pores and a significant hydration of the skin, later - an increase in elasticity, the disappearance of acne and traces of them, and only last but not least - a significant renewal of the skin before returning to the state previous to this period. Among consumer reviews of Skin Suites, opinions on the degree of rejuvenation with creams and serums of the company differ, therefore, there is no unified statistics on this subject.
Overview of basic SkinCeuticals tools: Blemish + Age Solution
The powerful Blemish & Age Corrective is a tonic that is used immediately after the Skin Smarts cleansing gel, which is part of this line. All preparations of the line are aimed at eliminating the long-standing problem of acne, that is, they are intended for older skin, which undergoes periodic rashes or single formations of acne, subcutaneous or black spots.
The tonic softens the water, bringing it closer to the boiled state, cleanses the skin well and is suitable as the basis for chemical or mechanical peels. You can get a recommendation for using the Blemish & Age range of products if the dermatologist confirms the presence of the following problems:
- increased sebum secretion;
- the presence of foci of inflammation or persistent acne scars;
- large, contaminated pores;
- stale complexion;
- keratinized skin;
- the presence of age spots;
- Wrinkles - mimic or associated with increased dryness of the skin.
The presented products are an effective alternative to popular lotions and gels for youthful skin problems, as they contain a large amount of salicylic acid. However, unlike the aggressive drying effect of preparations for young skin, Blemish & Age simultaneously monitors the water balance of the mature epidermis, preventing the appearance of a net of wrinkles or peeling. As a result, the approbants noted the following improvements described in a series of reviews about Skin Suites: by the end of the first week of applying tonic and related products, the skin is significantly fresher, the amount of acne is reduced, and the release of sebum is stabilized.
Basic Tools Overview: Serum 10
Skin Syuticals serum with the content of ferulic and L-ascorbic acids acts in two directions, protecting the skin and at the same time saturating it with nutrients. Thanks to the composition, backed up by the strength of the antioxidant, the product returns the epidermis the possibility of self-healing, which is expressed in the accelerated process of cellular metabolism.
Since the Skin Syticles serum itself is a powerful anti-aging drug, there is a warning against its use in conjunction with face-to-face injections or surgeries. Stop using the drug should be no later than a month before the expected date of intervention, and you can resume applying no earlier than a week after all the manipulations.
Equalizing Toner
A toner created using herbal ingredients is suitable for both dry and oily skin. Its main action explaining such universality is the stabilization of intradermal processes to an ideal state. In this case, Equalizing Toner has the ability to carefully exfoliate plaque on the outer layer of the epidermis, which has an instant visual effect in the form of equalization of complexion and pore reduction.
Cleansing and restoration of the skin with the universal tonic Equalizing Toner occurs at several levels:
- The 1st stage of purification - loosening of the epidermis to deep layers. Achieved by extracts of sugar maple and cane, several types of citrus fruits, blueberries.
- Stage 2 - disinfection of the skin and acceleration of regeneration processes (gammamelis extract).
- Stage 3 - removal of inflammation, stimulation of cellular metabolism (extracts of kiwi fruits and chamomile pharmacy).
- 4th stage - toning, moderate hydration and moisture retention effect (aloe and cucumber extracts).
Since the finished substance belongs to a multicomponent composition with the presence of elements that can cause individual intolerance, reviews of Skin Cosmetics by professional cosmetologists contain recommendations to conduct an allergotest test before applying the product.
Eye Cream Aox + Eye
The epidermis in the area around the eyes in thickness is no more than 0.5 mm, but this is not the reason that women observe pronounced signs of aging in this zone earlier than in other parts of the face. The fact is that this area is very mobile and participates in absolutely all facial mechanisms, but at the same time it has very insignificant muscular connections. This is the reason that, being in constant motion, thin skin does not "train", but rather relaxes and stretches. The collagen fiber mesh in this place quickly "gets tired", and after 25 years, most girls begin to notice unpleasant dryness under the lower eyelids, and closer to 30 years - and passable "crow's feet", especially noticeable in the evening.
Cream Skin Aox + Eye Cream takes into account all the weak aspects of a particularly delicate skin on the face in its innovative development with the active antioxidants L-ascorbic acid, ferulic acid and phloretin. In addition to potent antioxidants, the composition of the drug includes ruscus ( barbed needles ) extract, which increases nutritional intercellular metabolism, and caffeine, which acts as a stimulator of blood microcirculation.
The Skin Syuticals cream around the eyes is indicated if, from the following listed signs, you can agree with the presence of two constant factors in your particular case:
- there is sagging lower eyelid;
- the color of the lower eyelids and the space under the eyes has an unhealthy gray or bluish tint;
- morning or evening swelling is present;
- there is a net of facial wrinkles at the outer corners of the eyes;
- the skin under the eyes peels off or there is a feeling of "tightening".
Professional reviews of Skin Suites complement the instructions with recommendations for using the cream in conjunction with the Eye Balm product line.
