SkinCeuticals is a professional skincare brand founded in 1997 by Dr. Sheldon Pinnell, a renowned dermatology researcher at Duke University who pioneered research on the topical application of antioxidants for skin protection. The brand, now owned by L'Oreal's Active Cosmetics Division, is built on three core pillars: prevent, protect, and correct, with formulations that are backed by extensive clinical research and peer-reviewed studies.
The SkinCeuticals website offers its complete product range of antioxidant serums, corrective treatments, moisturizers, and sun protection products, many of which are only available through authorized physicians, clinics, and the brand's own website. The brand's hero product, C E Ferulic serum, is widely considered the gold standard in vitamin C serums and has been the subject of numerous clinical studies. Other bestsellers include the H.A. Intensifier hyaluronic acid serum, Retinol 0.3 treatment, and Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 cream. SkinCeuticals maintains a network of partner dermatologists and aestheticians who recommend and dispense its products.
