SkinCeuticals Launch New Gel Formula

Kathryn Danzey — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 06:39:06 +0000

SkinCeuticals has introduced the new Phloretin CF Gel. In the new gel formula, it absorbs better, acts faster and is formulated with an acid combination of phloretin, vitamin C and ferulic acid. This serum-in-a-gel protects skin from the range of reactive molecules known to cause DNA mutations and damage among the integral cell types. Classic emulsions can sit on the surface, whereas a gel seeps into the skin and is better for sensitive complexions as it is not as oily. As supported by clinical studies, the addition of the phloretin molecule enhances the efficacy of vitamin C and ferulic acid for increased synergy, while regulating pigment production. The anti-oxidant trio also accelerates cell turnover and stimulates collagen synthesis to boost skin’s structure for a firmer, brighter complexion. The gel formula makes Phloretin CF Gel, priced £150 for 30ml, gel suitable for all skin types and tones.

The little gem that was hidden in full view

Ruth Amos — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 19:13:23 +0000

So when I got my glossybox, I didn’t think much of this product. Okay, so the packaging isn’t offensive and who doesn’t want a ‘antioxidant booster’ but a fragrance free body wash seemed silly to me.

That was until the break out. I don’t get bad breakouts on my back, but for some reason this one was very red and annoying. Everything I used on it annoyed it more, *cue superman theme* then swooped this body wash. (actually it fell on my toe from cupboard, but the idea is the same).
And ta-da, less itchy, less red and in one use the skin looked 100% improved, so the moral of this story is never poo a product because it’s doesn’t smell pretty.

Peptides for your Eyelashes!

Kathryn Danzey — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 06:29:25 +0000

We hear of peptides everywhere now but a great new product for lenghtening the eyelashes will be available at Boots from next month, Peptalash. This new eyelash serum is the first on the market to combine three clinically proven peptides that work together to make lashes longer, thicker and fuller. The patent-pending peptide naturally boosts the pigmentation process of the skin on the lash line and stimulates melanin production leading to a more intense and dark lash line. The product should be applied morning and evening to the base of the upper and lower eyelashes using the applicator brush. Peptalash will be available exclusively at Boots from March priced at £24.99 for 5ml.
