SkinCeuticals

An antioxidant authority; its C E Ferulic (vitamin C, vitamin E, ferulic acid) is one of the most recognized clinical antioxidant serums.

SkinCeuticals was founded in 1997 on the vitamin C and antioxidant research of Dr. Sheldon Pinnell, a former chief of dermatology at Duke. It became known for high-potency, clinically studied antioxidant serums sold through medical offices, and L'Oreal acquired it in 2005.
