Watch as Chrissy and Jill unbox, discuss and try the newest exfoliating serum for the face, SkinCeuticals Cell Cycle Catalyst Skin Surface Renewal Serum.
SkinCeuticals newest exfoliating serum has joined at LovelySkin! In this video, Chrissy, LovelySkin Director of Product Operations, and Jill, LovelySkin Content Manger, unbox, discuss and try one of the best exfoliating serums for the face, SkinCeuticals Cell Cycle Catalyst Skin Surface Renewal Serum.
As Jill and Chrissy discuss the product, they highlight that this exfoliating serum is unlike any of SkinCeuticals other exfoliating products. SkinCeuticals Cell Cycle Catalyst is a skin renewal accelerating face serum that can be used for prepping skin ahead of in-office treatments or can be added as a booster in your anti-aging regimen at home.
Chrissy notes that generally, this product is a resurfacing or exfoliating serum for the face that uses a 7.7% blend of both alpha and beta hydroxy acids at low molecular weights and pH. These work together as a gentle peel to remove dead skin cells on the surface of the skin, making this a suitable exfoliator for sensitive skin and one of the best exfoliators for mature skin.
Jill adds that another ingredient to note in this serum is an amino acid called taurine, which boosts cellular vitality and stimulates barrier renewal in the skin. Chrissy chimes that it’s the synergistic combination of ingredients that work to optimize the results of your in-office treatments and improve absorption of your other at-home anti-aging regimen, while also addressing fine lines, visible pores, discoloration, texture and dullness.
Finally, Jill and Chrissy test the product on the backs of their hands and note that its lightweight, absorbs quickly and does not have a fragrance.
You can find this exfoliating serum and other derm-approved professional products in LovelySkin’s SkinCeuticals collection.

How does this compare to the texturing activator?

Hi, Jennifer - Great question! The ingredient decks are different, but they both will exfoliate the skin. However, Retexturizing Activator also provides hydration with hyaluronic acid, giving skin some added moisture. SkinCeuticals' recommendations say that Cell Cycle Catalyst can be paired with Retexturizing Activator to boost the benefits if your skin allows.

Can this serum be used with prescription retinoid?

Hi, Jane! Yes! Cell Cycle Catalyst is clinically tested to amplify anti-aging results and work with general anti-aging routines, including retinols, to boost your results. The serum was tested alongside retinol and good tolerance in the skin was observed. Hope this helps! - Jill

How do you sue this in conjunction with the CE Ferulic Acid and the HA Intensifier?

Hi Linda! Thanks so much for your question! You would apply Cell Cycle Catalyst immediately after your cleanser and before your CE Ferulic and HA Intensifier and any other serums or creams. Hope that helps! - Jill
