If you haven\u2019t tried their skincare line yet, we suggest checking them out. But before you head to your computer to place an order online, you might want to consult a dermatologist for his or her recommendations for your unique skincare needs. Luckily, Acqua Blu Medical Spa in Pittsburgh carries Skinceuticals products, so you can shop for skincare products directly following your consultation with a board-certified dermatologist.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some favorite Skinceuticals products and why you might need them:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CE Ferulic<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This serum combines vitamin C, vitamin E, and ferulic acid to offer one of the most powerful anti-aging products on the market. Although each of these ingredients come with their own set of individual skincare and health benefits, when combined in the right ratios, vitamins C and E and ferulic acid are an extremely effective anti-aging tool. Here\u2019s how each ingredient plays its part:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><b>Vitamin C: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019re most likely already familiar with how beneficial vitamin C can be for your overall health, but don\u2019t forget about its amazing skincare benefits as well. Because this vitamin is a powerful antioxidant, it can greatly reduce and prevent common signs of aging like lines, wrinkles, and age spots. By eliminating free radicals in the skin (which are responsible for cell damage and other issues related to the aging process), and boosting collagen production, vitamin C works to keep your skin looking and feeling young and fresh. (<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/lpi.oregonstate.edu\/mic\/micronutrients-health\/skin-health\/nutrient-index\/vitamin-C\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oregon State University<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Vitamin E: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vitamin E is another beneficial antioxidant that can reduce or eliminate the harmful oxidation of molecules in the body, consequently helping to keep your skin fresh and healthy. It\u2019s also known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which can reduce skin conditions like acne and sun damage. (<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/lpi.oregonstate.edu\/mic\/micronutrients-health\/skin-health\/nutrient-index\/vitamin-E\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oregon State University<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Ferulic acid: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naturally found in the cell walls of plants, ferulic acid also has antioxidant properties that combat harmful oxidation. But its true power is unleashed when it\u2019s combined with vitamins C and E. In the right formula, ferulic acid can be very effective at protecting the skin from UV damage, making it the perfect ingredient for healthy skincare. (<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S2215017X14000368\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Biotechnology Reports<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Resveratrol B E<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This nighttime treatment can work anti-aging wonders while you sleep&#8211;all thanks to the not-so-secret ingredient, resveratrol. Dubbed the \u201clongevity molecule\u201d by many experts, resveratrol has long been touted for its anti-aging capabilities. Much research has shown that this amazing molecule actually prolongs the life of many plant and animal cells, and even helps to protect them from UV damage, infection, and other environmental stressors. Studies have also shown that when resveratrol is applied topically to the skin, it offers these same benefits. (<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/dermatologytimes.modernmedicine.com\/dermatology-times\/news\/resveratrol-longevity-molecule?page=full\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dermatology Times<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physical Matte UV Defence SPF 50<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking of sun protection, no skincare routine would be complete without a reliable daily sunscreen. The true benefit of using a product like Skinceuticals\u2019 Physical Matte UV Defense is that it substitutes gentler, natural ingredients like titanium dioxide and zinc oxide for harsh chemicals like oxybenzone. These natural nanoparticles have been proven to be just as effective as their harsher counterparts, but without the skin-irritating downfalls. And what\u2019s more, the Physical Matte UV Defence will maintain its matte appearance even when combined with sweat and water.
