Everything you need to know about SkinCeuticals Cell Cycle Catalyst

Overview

What it is

Cell Cycle Catalyst™ is a daily use, layerable serum designed to aid in exfoliation and enhance cellular turnover at the skin’s surface. This product incorporates a multi-acid complex and taurine to help improve skin texture, discoloration appearance, and visible lines. It is formulated to support hydration and maintain a healthy skin barrier, serving as a preparatory step for any anti-aging skincare routine or professional chemical peels.

How it works

Cell Cycle Catalyst™ works by utilizing a blend of alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) in a 7.7% multi-acid complex to gently exfoliate the skin and promote cellular turnover. Glycolic, lactic, mandelic, and salicylic acids help to remove dead skin cells from the surface, which can smooth texture and improve the appearance of discoloration and visible lines. Taurine is included to support skin hydration, while phytic acid also aids in exfoliation. Caprylyl glycol acts as a conditioning agent to enhance skin feel and hydration. Ethoxydiglycol functions as a solvent, ensuring that these ingredients are delivered effectively.
