Skinceuticals Phloretin CF (1 oz)
SkinCeuticals
Phloretin CF™ was the winner of Allure Magazine’s (US), yearly
prestigious ‘Best of Beauty’ awards for Best Serum and also for
Breakthrough Technology.
SkinCeuticals has
been at the helm of the research and development of cosmetic
antioxidant treatments for over a decade, consistently offering the
most comprehensive solutions to prevent and correct photo-damage. The
brand new SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF™ is a new
standard of preventative and corrective topical antioxidant treatment
and is the most advanced broadspectrum anti-oxidant product from
SkinCeuticals. A fourth-generation topical antioxidant formulation, it
is the first on the market to contain breakthrough ingredient,
Phloretin.
Why use an Antioxidant?
Daily
exposure to damaging environmental elements accelerates the ageing
process by causing molecules in the skin to become highly reactive.
These unstable molecules produce damaging reactive oxygen species (ROS)
such as free radicals, oxygen ions and peroxides. Increased ROS levels
can result in damaging DNA mutations, a slow down in cell regeneration
and signs of photodamage including fine lines, wrinkles, loss of
elasticity, discoloration and even skin cancer. The use of a topical
antioxidant application such as PHLORETIN CF™ fights against ROS to
protect the skin from premature aging.
What is Phloretin?
This
innovative ingredient is derived from apples and the root bark of fruit
trees including apple, grapefruit and pear. Classified as a
dihydrochalcone, Phloretin is known to prevent immunosuppression and
for anti-inflammatory, antifungal and anticancer properties.
How does Phloretin CF™ work?
After
extensive research, SkinCeuticals has identified Phloretin as a
powerful molecule that works in synergy with Vitamin C and ferulic acid
to provide broad spectrum antioxidant protection. This patent-pending
technology and unsurpassed combination of key ingredients helps protect
not only against free radicals, but the range of Reactive Oxygen
Species. Further, Phloretin CF™helps
correct existing damage by stimulating the synthesis of essential proteins and fibres and accelerating cell turnover.
The
broad-spectrum action of Phloretin CF™ delivers powerful, optimised
photoprotection, penetrating the skin at every level to help protect
integral cell types and prevent cell mutation by shielding the skin’s
DNA from ROS and antioxidants. The skin’s natural immunity against DNA
impairment is strengthened, to preserve cellular integrity and help
prevent serious skin conditions. Cell renewal is accelerated, the
support structure of the skin is boosted and UV-induced discolorations
are inhibited. On an aesthetic level, age spots are diminished, skin
tone is dramatically improved for a firmer, stronger re-textured
complexion. The skin appears healthy, radiant and younger looking.

How to Use Phloretin CF™:
Phloretin
CF™ is ideal for oily, problematic and normal skin types and for those
who are concerned with hyperpigmentation, erythema, uneven skin tone,
loss of elasticity, mottled appearance or photo-damage.
After
cleansing and before moisturising, apply 4 or 5 drops of Phloretin CF™
to face, neck and chest once daily using fingertips.
Update
Skinceuticals Phloretin CF is the winner of Allure Magazine’s 2008 award for Best Serum and Breakthrough Technology.
Phloretin CF represents a new class of preventive and corrective topical antioxidant treatment. After five years of extensive research, SkinCeuticals developed this patent-pending breakthrough technology combining the newly-discovered, broad-range power of phloretin with vitamin C and ferulic acid in a biodiverse formulation to divide and conquer sources of damage at every level.
Phloretin CF, a broad-spectrum treatment, protects against not only free radicals, but the range of other reactive molecules known to cause damage and DNA mutations among the integral cell types. In addition, it corrects existing damage by stimulating the synthesis of essential proteins and fibers and accelerating cell turnover. The results are strengthened support structure on the inside and a more youthful, firm, radiant appearance on the outside.
