Skinceuticals Serum 15 - Product Review

Posted on July 20, 2009 with No Comments

A favorite anti-aging product of skincare enthusiasts everywhere, Skinceuticals Serum 15 not only claims to create a visible difference, but also makes tissue healthier and livelier as well.

What’s more, it doesn’t just conceal imperfections or slowly erase dark spots; it also replenishes your skin so that it could gain a healthier, more natural sheen to it. That’s because this product not only treats skin conditions, it also reverses the skin aging process as well through it rejuvenating ingredients.

Other products may claim to remove blemishes in only a few weeks, but Skinceuticals Serum 15 goes a step further by making your skin look younger as well as flawless (REVIEWER NOTE: similar products - Anti Wrinkle 55 and the Obagi C serum have similar if not better results at very good pricing.)

Besides which, it also stimulates collagen creation, defends against environmental damage, and neutralizes free radical formation. Indeed, it serves as many a beautician’s beauty secret when it comes to reversing the effects of any damage or malady.

This article has repeatedly emphasized Skinceuticals Serum 15’s revitalizing properties. In any case, its ability to make facial tissue healthier is the primary factor to its effectiveness.

The true secret to the elusive fountain of youth lies inside the cells of your skin, and this product’s Duke-patented Vitamin C technology enables the delivery of 15% L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) to the skin, which improves the condition, texture, tone and smoothness “from within”.

More to the point, the product cannot be rubbed or washed off once it’s absorbed by your body and remains active for up to four days, which further underlines Skinceuticals Serum 15’s mode of operation when it comes to stimulating and fortifying your skin’s defenses against the elements. It even acts as an excellent addition to sunscreens to boot.

The fact that it’s ideal for both oily and normal skin-types serves as the icing to a very refreshing and skin renewing cake. However, its anti-aging properties aren’t quite as instantaneous as one would expect. Results may vary, of course, and Skinceuticals Serum 15 won’t make a 50-year-old look like a twenty-something young adult at the drop of a hat.

What it can do is improve you pliability, elasticity and damage resistance through AOX and advanced antioxidant technology (that is, combine L-ascorbic acid with ferulic acid to boost your skin’s antioxidant production as well as hydrate tissue in the best way possible). After everything is considered, it’s still an overall satisfying product. Without a doubt, it has earned its 8.75 out of 10 stars rating.

Dark circles, sagging skin and wrinkles are the bane of most women and almost every woman will attest to the fact that the area under the eyes are often the most difficult to treat.  The skin under the eye is delicate and wrinkles can start at an early age. The harsh rays of the sun (UVA and UVB damage), free radical damage form oxidization, and thinness of tissue are primary causes of under eye wrinkles.Instant Under Eye Wrinkle Serum

 

Huge strides have been made in recent years and there are now several treatments (and viable ingredients) available that will help reduce the bags and sagging.  You can now find instant eye firming creams are extremely effective and can help you look years younger.

 

How Do Instant Eye Firming Creams Work?

 

Instant eye firming creams contain a combination of special anti-aging and moisturizing agents that work together to tighten the skin under the eyes.   Hyaluronic acid is one such ingredient that works to improve skin elasticity and hydration.  Low levels of hydration very often the cause excessive wrinkling and dryness.

 

Other important ingredients include Argireline and Pullalan, both of which help to tighten and firm tissue, including crows feet.  Essential oils and herbal extracts are also needs to help provide faster cell rejuvenation and a smoothing affect. Combined, these ingredients (in varying strength formulations) can provide instant firming and wrinkle control lasting up to 6 hours, while providing longer-term benefits of moisture retention, antioxidant protection, and improved collagen and elasticity.

 

Glycerin from vegetables is also important as it helps to repair the cell membranes.  This will help to improve the overall appearance of the skin under the eyes and reduce the wrinkles and fine lines.
