SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic 30ml

External factors account for approximately 90% of perceived skin ageing – including wrinkles, roughness, mottled pigmentation (age spots) and loss of elasticity. These external factors include, but are not limited to, smoking, UV light, stress, environment and pollution. These external factors are called free radicals.

Antioxidants neutralise free radicals, help prevent damage to skin’s support structure and help prevent visible signs of ageing by stimulating collagen.

Topical (applied to the surface of the skin) antioxidants enter the skin and protect against both UVB and UVA radiation from the sun. Studies show that, once in the skin, topical antioxidants remain for days and cannot be washed, rubbed or perspired off.

The most established topical antioxidant with excellent clinical evidence is Vitamin C - however, to be effective it must possess the following characteristics:

It must contain L-ascorbic acid (pure vitamin C rather than derivatives)
It must be at acid pH
It must contain a high concentration of L-ascorbic acid
The L-ascorbic acid must be stable

SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic not only contains the right form and strength of Vitamin C but is also combined with two other powerful antioxidants to form a unique and powerful combination containing:

15% L-ascorbic Acid (pure Vitamin C) – Neutralises free radicals, primarily in the aqueous (water containing) parts of skin; stimulates collagen synthesis; regenerates vitamin E when it is used up fighting free radicals; and provides photoprotection.
1% Alpha Tocopherol (pure Vitamin E) – Neutralises free radicals, primarily in the cell membrane and cell lipids; aids in the healing process; and provides photoprotection (protection against sundamage).
0.5 % Ferulic Acid – Neutralises free radicals; improves the stability of vitamins C and E; and enhances photoprotection.

New research shows

Sunscreens used alone only block 45-55% of free radicals, leaving skin vulnerable to environmental damage
C E Ferulic is the only antioxidant combination proven to provide 8 fold protection against sundamage
C E Ferulic reduces sunburn cells up to 96% in UV irradiated skin
C E Ferulic prevents thymine dimers, DNA mutations associated with skin cancer

Daily application, along with the use of a broad spectrum sunblock offers ultimate protection from UV light and associated skin damage (including the prevention of some skin cancers).
