SkinCeuticals Antioxidant Lip Repair - All Skin Types - 9ml
Two powerful antioxidants, vitamin E and silymarin, form an exclusive combination antioxidant therapy for the lips. This powerful treatment helps prevent premature signs of aging, while restoring moisture and smoothing the surface of the lips. Medical research proves that combination therapy provides better protection from environmental aging, helping to shield the delicate lip area from UV light as well as environmental elements such as smoke and air pollution. Special botanical emollients hydrate and heal dry, cracked lips, while an AHA-free exfoliating complex accelerates cell renewal to smooth deep lip lines for full, healthy lips.
Features and Benefits:
• Two powerful, synergistic antioxidants - neutralize free radicals and prevent premature signs aging
• Exclusive and innovative ingredient complexes - support collagen synthesis, hydration and lipid retention
• AHA-free exfoliation - smoothes lips without irritation and accelerates cell renewal
• Elegant, smooth and creamy formulation - penetrates quickly, leaving lips soft and moist
Usage Recommendations:
• Daily lip treatment (use light application and follow with sunscreen)
• Intense overnight treatment
• Cold sore prevention
• Accutane - for relief of lip dryness

Dispense a droplet-sized amount of Antioxidant Lip Repair onto the tip of your index finger, dab it
onto your lips and gently massage it into the skin.
Key Ingredients:
SILYMARIN
• extract of the milk thistle plant
• provides powerful antioxidant protection
• molecular structure indicates easy skin penetration
• Background: Silymarin contains high percentages of silybin - which is thought to be its most active component. Silymarin is a strong antioxidant, B and although it is not a sunscreen, it has been shown to scavenge reactive oxygen species, inhibit sunburn cells, apoptosis, and lipid peroxidation. Detailed scientific information available on request.
VITAMIN E (ALPHA-TOCOPHEROL)
• pure vitamin E (not a derivative)
• provides powerful antioxidant protection
• Background: Vitamin E (alpha tocopherol) is the body's most important lipid (fat) soluble antioxidant, especially in cell membranes and lipoproteins. As an antioxidant, it protects other fat-soluble vitamins from oxidative damage. It is necessary for tissue repair; it is a natural anticoagulant and promotes healing. Derivatives of vitamin E are good moisturizers, but do not have the same effects as vitamin E, because they are not antioxidants.
BMX COMPLEX
• comprises Barley and Tomato Extracts
• limits transepidermal water loss by maintaining an intact skin surface barrier
• increases amount of lipids in intercellular spaces, which is critical for the skin renewal process
• rich in phytosterols, triglycerides, ceramides and sphingolipids, all essential to maintain optimum skin condition
• Phytosterols: Plant fats present in all fruits and vegetables. They are biologically active molecules that can enhance moisture penetration and support the skin renewal process. As well, they exert an anti-inflammatory effect.
• Sphingolipids: One principal group of lipids in the cell membranes.
• Triglycerides: Any of a number of naturally occurring lipids. The chief constituents of fats and oils, including the fat cells in the human body.
• Ceramides: In human skin, ceramides are the major lipid constituents of the stra-tum corneum and, together with other lipids they playa crucial role in the skin barrier function.
UGL COMPLEX
• comprises Glucosamine HCI, Algae Extract, Yeast Extract and Urea (preservative)
• exfoliates dead skin cells without the potential irritation of AHAs or BHAs and is not pH dependent
• can activate both epidermal and dermal cells resulting in improved cell renewal, as well as an increased production of hyaluronic acid and collagen
BIOSACCHARIDE GUM
• improves hydration
• provides greater immediate hydration than sodium hyaluronate
ALLANTOIN
• botanical extract with healing and soothing properties
• is recognized by the FDA as a cold sore and fever blister treatment
is an effective anti-irritant, as it forms complexes with a variety of sensitizing agents, rendering them non-sensitizing
