The Buzz on SkinMedica
These days when you visit dermatologists or medical spas, you are more likely than ever to see SkinMedica as their featured skincare products. Even if you only casually and occasionally flip through beauty and fashion magazines, you are more likely than not to see editorial recommendations for the latest SkinMedica products. And, the reason is simple - clinical proof. With regular use, fine lines are reduced, age spots and discoloration fade, and skin texture and elasticity is improved.
According to various industrial reports, SkinMedica now ranks among the top 5 medical-grade skincare brands in sales. Here, we take a closer look at two of its most popular products to see if the buzz is rightfully justified.
Skincare Challenges and SkinMedica's Solutions
As your skin ages, lines and wrinkles start to appear, skin elasticity is decreased, and your skin appears more dull and tired. Proper skin care is the only way to restore your skin to a more youthful state, and in turn, improve its appearance for the long term. Effective defense against environmental factors that age the skin is vital to help the skin look as young as possible, for as long as possible. SkinMedica has the perfect solution in the form of two of their bestselling products, SkinMedica Vitamin C + E Complex and SkinMedica Tri-Retinol Complex.
SkinMedica Vitamin C + E Complex
Vitamin C is one of the most effective ingredients used in skin care products to help in skin rejuvenation. It is clinically proven to help in the build-up of collagen, while also acting as a powerful antioxidant which fights free radicals released in the skin due to exposure to the sun’s UV rays. Vitamin E is another anti-oxidant powerhouse which works synergistically with Vitamin C to protect the delicate skin from free radicals. SkinMedica Vitamin C + E Complex is a smooth, fragrance-free, hypoallergenic formula that contains 15% stabilized Vitamins C and E in both fat- and water-soluble forms for maximum absorption. This delivers an ultimate skin-defending punch of antioxidants to fight free radical damage, improve skin tone, texture and firmness, and effectively diminish the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
The formula delivers these beneficial effects in a time released manner due to the innovative Silicone suspension system which also helps to prevent oxidation of Vitamins C and E. With regular use of the product, the complexion regains a more youthful appearance with minimized lines and wrinkles, and firmer and suppler skin.
SkinMedica Tri-Retinol Complex
SkinMedica Tri-Retinol Complex is another highly acclaimed anti-aging defense formula containing three forms of Vitamin A in a micro-particle delivery system, which enables sustained release of the effective active ingredients while you sleep. The Vitamin A derivatives, or Retinoids, work effectively to unclog blocked pores, boost collagen production to increase firmness and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, speed up cell renewal rate to even out discoloration and smooth the skin – all in as little as four weeks.
The formula works by gently exfoliating the skin to slough away dull, dead cells from the skin’s surface. Newer, healthy skin cells are thus revealed and skin immediately appears more even-toned and soft. With regular use, skin becomes much firmer and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles are dramatically reduced. Unlike many other Retinol products, SkinMedica Tri-Retinol Complex is mild and gentle, hence will not irritate even the most sensitive of skins, or cause any unwanted side effects such as skin peeling. The formula contains 0.65% total Retinoids therefore should be used in the evening. While using the product, be sure to wear SPF sun protection as skin becomes more sensitive to the sun.
