EVALUATING A PRODUCT’S EFFICACY:

SkinCeuticals products are designed, formulated, and tested for effectiveness. In order to assess a product’s efficacy, three essential criteria should be evaluated:

• 1. Does the product get into the skin?
• 2. Does the product have a biological action in the skin?
• 3. Does that action translate to end benefits for the patient?

Stringent clinical testing standards

To answer these questions, we conduct clinical research. We formulate our products with levels of ingredients that have been proven to have optimal effectiveness in skin. We test final formulations on live skin, regularly incorporating biomarker studies to show the biological activity of an ingredient or technology. SkinCeuticals also uses dermatologist-controlled, in-vivo, double-blind studies to prove a formulation’s physiological benefits on the skin. The final result: Evidence-based skincare.

Advanced Skincare Bac ked By Science
