The 23rd World Congress of Dermatology was recently held in Vancouver, British Columbia, in June - and SkinCeuticals' team was there to host a symposium to discuss its new discoveries in antioxidant technology. Its symposium was called, "New Frontiers in Antioxidant Research, Advancing the Science Across the Environmental and Aging Spectrum to Maximize Clinical Outcomes," and was led by Dr. Zoe Draelos, Dr. Jean Krutmann, Dr. Patricia Farris, and Dr. Jill Waibel, who are all leaders in the field of dermatology.
Dr. Jill Waibel presented her work, showing that that fractional resurfacing can be looked at not only as a treatment, but simultaneously as a delivery tool for actives. Further research showed that when combined, laser treatments and SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic work synergistically. The laser-assisted delivery allows C E Ferulic to penetrate further into the skin and therefore work more effectively, while the antioxidant reduces patient downtime post-treatment by up to two days.
The brand says that these insights led to the newest frontier in laser treatments – complementary treatment with the new SkinCeuticals Age-Defying Laser + Antioxidant System, which combines the at-home Tria Age-Defying Laser with C E Ferulic and Resveratrol B E.
The treatment, showed significant reduction in the appearance of perioral and global wrinkles, as well as significant improvement in the smoothness and evenness of skin, after 12 weeks.
"Scientific innovation in topical antioxidants is the foundation of SkinCeuticals," said Jim Krol, Scientific Director of SkinCeuticals.
Skinceuticals' team also addressed the damaging effects of pollution on the skin - and the implications of antioxidant use in preventing free radical damage resulting from exposure to both ozone and particulate matter pollution, as well as infrared rays. Dr. Jean Krutmann's work on pollution and skin has been called "the next sun" in terms of efforts to raise consumer awareness.
New research shows that pre-treating skin with SkinCeuticals vitamin C antioxidants provides significant protection against free radicals resulting from exposure to pollution, IRA, and the associated aging effects of both, particularly in the forehead, cheek, and nasolabial folds.
Dr. Patricia Farris shared findings that demonstrate Resveratrol not only works as an antioxidant on its own, it boosts activity in the body's intrinsic antioxidant defenses as well. SkinCeuticals Resveratrol B E was shown to improve skin density by almost 19%, and resulted in statistically significant improvements in skin smoothness, firmness, elasticity and radiance.
Dr. Zoe Draelos showcased the results from several studies, each proving that antioxidants provide superior benefits to skin when formulated in accordance with the charter developed by SkinCeuticals' founder, Dr. Sheldon Pinnell. The results showed C E Ferulic provided twice the protection to skin of its leading competitor.
