Product Information

SkinCeuticals Serum 10 is designed for sensitive skin and defends it from early signs of aging brought about by the sun and other environmental factors.  This is a great definition of a skin product don’t you think?  I mean most of us hope that with all these skincare lines in the market competing against each other, there’s at least one that’s going to deliver what it promises.  Right?  It’s really stressful (not to mention hearbreaking and costly) to buy a product which guarantees essentially high effects but actually provides the lowest quality.

With that said, I would like to take up this space right here to talk more about SkinCeuticals Serum 10 AOX (advanced antioxidant technology).

Ingredients

The product’s official site listed ferulic acid and 10% L-ascorbic acid (the pure and potent Vitamin C) as the key ingredients of Serum 10 (thus the number 10 on its name).  These two acids are powerful antioxidants and I remember writing about them in the article about SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic. If combined, their antioxidizing power is doubled.

The acids however, especially the L-ascorbic acid may cause tingling or a subtle biting pain but it will only last for a short time according to a blogger at www.womenlovebeauty.com.

I have encountered some minor temporarily irritation with tingling sensation that last about 10 minutes or so during my first few rounds of applications. In fact, some dermatologists believe that these are the signs that the product is working.

Product Usage

SkinCeuticals recommends using 4 to 5 drops of Serum 10 to your clean, dry face followed by a moisturizer and sunscreen (you may try their own SkinCeuticals Daily Moisture or SkinCeuticals Hydrating gel).

If your skin can tolerate the product, you may step up your beauty regimen a little by switching to a higher L-ascorbic acid concentration ( SkinCeuticals Serum 15 or Serum 20).

Product Reviews

SkinCeuticals is fairly credible as a company.  Not only does it use quality ingredients in its product, it’s also trusted by celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Holly Hunter and was even used in the set of Breaking Dawn as part of Kristen Stewart’s skin care routine.  I’ve wrote a number of articles about some of its products that I can assume (as in the case of other SkinCeuticals skincare line products) out of SkinCeuticals Serum 10 users, 8 or 9 of them are satisfied with what the product can offer.

The lady at www.labaguette-magique.blogspot.com has written a review about SkinCeuticals Serum 10 and here’s what she has to say:

… as part of a maintenance programme, it is a great way to help your skin stay in tip-top condition. My skin looks and feels more supple. The serum facilitates skin cell renewal, and as a result my complexion is less dull than it would without.

Furthermore, she added this bulleted form of the Serum 10’s advantages and disadvantages:

Pluses:

• Proven added protection level to UV factor sunscreen used daily
• Lightweight, easy to apply
• A little goes a long way
• Skin feels plumper, suppler, healthier
• Cosmeceuticals brand, integrity

Minuses:

• Metallic smell, may be perceptible
• When the serum starts to naturally oxidise, its colouring might tint an area of the skin slightly if not applied light-handedly
• Price (serums are not cheap).

I do think that there is no perfect skin product that can erase every single wrinkle, red or brown spot and pimple on your skin.  Admittedly, not even an expensive plastic surgery can successfully restore your skin’s youthfulness.  But I’m sure that there are effective products out there like SkinCeuticals Serum 10 that can help improve your skin’s texture or elasticity.  All you really need to do is to try and find out.
