Five Reasons Why Celebrities Are Crazy About SkinCeuticals

Learn all about the popular skincare brand and some of its megahit products.

Discover why celebrities use dermatologist-backed SkinCeuticals in their skincare routines for everything from post-treatment care to specific skin concerns.

While it feels like the beauty world has never been more packed with brand names and new products, there are a few skincare companies that have stood the test of time. Science-backed SkinCeuticals launched its first product in 1997, but its story started long before that. Built on the groundbreaking research of Dr. Sheldon Pinnell, who truly changed the skincare landscape, SkinCeuticals has an incredible legacy of dermatologist-loved and cult-classic products behind it. It’s no surprise that the brand is a favourite among celebrities to keep their skin healthy and glowing on-camera and off. With a skincare roster that contains formulas for all skin types—from dry skin to oily skin to sensitive skin and everything in between—SkinCeuticals has no shortage of efficacious products that target an array of skin concerns. Here, we’re breaking down the top five reasons why SkinCeuticals is beloved by celebrities the world over and why it has garnered such a long laundry list of fans. (Hint: Yes, the multi-awards winner vitamin C serum C E Ferulic has something to do with it!)

#1: SkinCeuticals is backed by dermatologists.

One big hint that SkinCeuticals is the real deal when it comes to skincare? It’s stocked at so many dermatologist offices across Canada. With its simple message to improve skin health, SkinCeuticals has been helping skin get healthier for decades. Aside from being known as the “Antioxidant Authority” (more on that later), the brand is rooted in using tried, tested and true skincare ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, ceramides and others to deliver results that make a lasting impact. Scroll through the SkinCeuticals website and, in addition to information, you’ll find multiple quotes and recommendations from dermatologists across the country. And because celebrities take excellent care of their skin, it’s no wonder that many swear by SkinCeuticals—the recommendations most likely came from their dermatologists. SkinCeuticals is also the number one medical aesthetic brand in Canada and worldwide.

#2: SkinCeuticals is the “Antioxidant Authority.

When you think about vitamin C (or L-ascorbic acid) serums, naturally you think of SkinCeuticals. Combining 30 years of vitamin C research from Dr. Sheldon Pinnell, the brand really put antioxidants on the map—they’re the reason that vitamin C is such a prolific and well-known skincare ingredient to this day. Known as the founding father of vitamin C, Pinnell conducted pivotal research to create SkinCeuticals’ first-ever stabilized L-ascorbic acid serums, known as Serum 10. During his studies, he discovered ways to stabilize the notoriously difficult antioxidant and build skincare formulas around L-ascorbic acid that would stay effective after being opened and exposed to air and light. This is known as the “Duke Parameters,” and this is why SkinCeuticals earned the name “Antioxidant Authority.” Building on its history with antioxidants, SkinCeuticals offers four targeted vitamin C serums, providing options for all skin types, including dry skin, oily skin, combination skin and even sensitive skin. C E Ferulic quickly became a bestseller for the brand; over the years, it has landed on countless “best of” lists, won plenty of awards and is stocked in many celebs’ bathroom cabinets.

#3: SkinCeuticals has vitamin C for every skin concern.

Scroll through the SkinCeuticals website and you’ll see that there’s no shortage of incredible products that can address an array of skin concerns, from wrinkles and dryness to eye bags and dark circles. This is just one of the many reasons why the brand is stocked at Canadian dermatology offices and loved by celebrities of all ages. More specifically, SkinCeuticals is one of the only brands that offers a antioxidant for every skin concern.

Fine lines and wrinkles, try: C E Ferulic
Discolouration, try: Phloretin CF
Oily and blemish-prone skin, try: Silymarin CF
Nighttime serum, try: Resveratrol B E

#4: SkinCeuticals carries post-treatment skincare options.

One way that people are introduced to SkinCeuticals is as a recommendation from their dermatologist after receiving an in-office treatment at a medi spa or derm clinic. With a robust product line that helps support skin treatments like chemical peels, injectables, microneedling and more, SkinCeuticals offers up products that help with the healing and recovery after a treatment, along with formulas that are packed with active ingredients to get your best and most glowing skin yet. Because they’re in front of the camera day in and day out, many celebrities dabble in treatments such as facials and peels, but it’s not just stars who want to take care of their skin. A few of SkinCeuticals’ most recommended products to use after a visit to your dermatologist include:

Post facial, try: Anti-aging superstars Retinol 0.3 and Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2. This gentle yet effective retinol night cream pairs beautifully with this anti-aging cream. When layered together they both help to tackle fine lines and wrinkles.

Post laser treatment, try: Iconic vitamin C serum lineup C E Ferulic and Phloretin CF. These vitamin C serums, perfect for all different skin types and needs, brighten the complexion and help with skin discoloration.

#5: SkinCeuticals products deliver results.

Last but not least, SkinCeuticals is such a beloved and respected brand in the world of skincare because of the results that its formulas deliver. Creating products that are tested through extensive clinical trials instead of hopping on the latest skincare trend, the brand ensures that when it launches a product, it delivers. Its motto is “Prevent, protect, correct,” so you can be sure that your skin is in good hands with formulas that will work hard to keep skin healthy. SkinCeuticals has created a line of skincare that can safely be used at home along with products that are specially formulated for use at a dermatologist’s, plastic surgeon’s or medical aesthetician’s clinic. In addition to the award-winning skincare lineup SkinCeuticals has on offer, it has also ushered in a new frontier when it comes to customized skincare with the launch of its CUSTOM D.O.S.E program. An initiative that combines high-potency ingredients with professional expertise, CUSTOM D.O.S.E offers a bespoke serum for your skin’s specific needs, including support for every skin type—from sensitive skin to oily skin to dry skin.
