SkinCeuticals Best Sellers: Which One Should You Choose?

SkinCeuticals is one of the most requested skincare brands at our spas, and with so many products, it is easy to feel lost. Here is how our estheticians explain the best sellers, so you can choose the one or two products your skin actually needs.

The antioxidant serums: CE Ferulic or Phloretin CF?

SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic combines 15% pure vitamin C, 1% vitamin E and 0.5% ferulic acid. It is the classic morning serum for normal, dry or mature skin that wants protection against environmental damage and visible signs of aging. SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF is the choice when uneven tone and discoloration are your main concern. Both are applied in the morning, before moisturizer and sunscreen.

Expression lines: P-TIOX

SkinCeuticals P-TIOX is a needle-free peptide serum that softens the look of expression lines such as forehead lines and crow's feet, and improves texture and radiance. It suits people not ready for injections, and also complements them. Apply it twice a day, after your antioxidant serum.

Dark spots: Discoloration Defense

SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense combines 3% tranexamic acid, 1% kojic acid and 5% niacinamide to target dark spots, post-acne marks and stubborn brown patches. Use it twice a day, and always with sunscreen.

Hydration and firmness: H.A. Intensifier and Triple Lipid Restore

SkinCeuticals H.A. Intensifier Multi-Glycan is a serum for plumper, more hydrated-looking skin. SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 replenishes the ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids that decline with age, which makes it a favourite for dry, mature skin, especially in a Canadian winter.

Eyes and sunscreen

SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Advanced Eye targets dark circles, puffiness and loss of firmness around the eyes. Every SkinCeuticals routine ends with sunscreen: SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50 is a tinted mineral formula, and SkinCeuticals Clear Daily Soothing UV Defense SPF 50 is ideal for sensitive or redness-prone skin.

A simple SkinCeuticals routine

• Morning: SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser, CE Ferulic or Phloretin CF, moisturizer, sunscreen.
• Evening: cleanser, then the treatment for your main concern (P-TIOX, Discoloration Defense or H.A. Intensifier), then moisturizer.

Want to try several at once? The SkinCeuticals Our Best-Sellers Set is a good place to start.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use CE Ferulic and P-TIOX together?

Yes. SkinCeuticals recommends applying P-TIOX after an antioxidant serum such as CE Ferulic.

Is it normal for CE Ferulic to darken?

Yes. Vitamin C can darken after opening because of air and light. A change in colour does not mean the serum has stopped working.

How do I know my SkinCeuticals is authentic?

Buy from an authorized retailer. Avanti Le Spa is an authorized SkinCeuticals retailer, and every product comes directly from the brand.

Do you ship SkinCeuticals across Canada?

Yes. We ship across Canada, with free shipping on orders over $100.
