SkinCeuticals Face Cream - Dry and Mature Skin - 50 ml
Specifically formulated to combat collagen breakdown and moisture loss in mature skin. This light, rehabilitative cream provides powerful firming and replenishes moisture with emollients – perfect for skin depleted by the ravages of time. Signs of aging in mature skin are the result of three factors – dehydration, collagen breakdown, and free radical damage. Face Cream contains targeted botanical ingredients specifically formulated to counter these advanced skin care concerns.
Features & Benefits:
• Soy Isoflavones - support production of collagen and hyaluronate
• Four nutrient oils - support replacement of lipids in mature, dry skin
• Biosaccharide Gum - shown to provide greater immediate hydration than sodium hyaluronate
• Four effective antioxidants - provide protection against free radicals
Usage Recommendations:
• Mature / peri-menopausal skin
• Age-related moisture loss
• Dry, dull or delicate skin
• Photodamaged skin
• Irritated skin
Application:
Once or twice daily, apply Face Cream to the entire face, neck, and chest.
Key Ingredients:
SOY (GLYCINE SOJA) EXTRACT
• unique soy extract that isolates soy isoflavones (unlike other products that only use the protein)
• soy isoflavones are phytoestrogens that have
estrogen-like benefits
• provides antioxidant protection
• Background: Research suggests that estrogen deficiencies during and following menopause may contribute to signs of aging in skin. Systemic and topical estrogens have been shown to counter these effects, and to have antioxidant properties. Although much weaker, soy isoflavones (phytoestrogens) have been shown to have estrogen-like benefits, and to have antioxidant effects making them ideal for use on maturing skin.

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. Detailed scientific information available on request
SILYMARIN
• extract of the milk thistle plant provides powerful antioxidant protection
• Background: Silymarin contains high percentages of silybin - which is thought to be its most active component. Silymarin is a strong antioxidant, and although it is not a sunscreen, it has been shown to scavenge reactive oxygen species, inhibit sunburn cells, apoptosis, and lipid peroxidation.
