Cell Cycle Catalyst is an evidence-supported, daily serum that can be layered for maximum anti-ageing effects. Its formula contains a 7.7% multi-acid complex (including alpha hydroxy and beta hydroxy acids) and 1% Taurine, resulting in gentle exfoliation and improved cellular turnover on the skin's surface. This expertly-crafted serum helps to smooth texture, reduce discolouration, and minimise the appearance of visible lines, while also promoting moisturisation for a healthy skin barrier.

SkinCeuticals Cell Cycle Catalyst is a must-have anti-aging serum developed for all skin tones & types, normal, dry, dehydrated, oily, combination and mature complexions.

SkinCeuticals Cell Cycle Catalyst is not suitable for use during pregnancy or when breastfeeding.

SkinCeuticals Cell Cycle Catalyst is powered by a 7.7-percent complex of alpha and beta hydroxy acids, known for their ability to reverse photodamage and improve wrinkles, elasticity, tone and hydration. This blend of exfoliating acids delivers a gentle multi-layer peeling to improve tone and texture, refine the look of fine lines and diminish discoloration.

AHAs are water-soluble acids that work on both the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin by loosening and breaking down the gluey substance that holds dead skin cells together, promoting cellular renewal through exfoliation, enhancing moisturization, reducing wrinkles and boosting collagen synthesis.

On the other hand, BHAs are lipid-soluble, which means they can penetrate even deeper into the skin to remove excess oil and pore-clogging dead skin cells. When used together in the same formula, AHAs and BHAs can deliver even better results.

Mixing AHAs and BHAs in one formula, like in SkinCeuticals Cell Cycle Catalyst, offers a synergistic approach to skin exfoliation and renewal,” explains Holdorf. “This dynamic duo works together to not only slough off dead skin on the surface with AHAs but also dives deep into your pores with BHAs to zap excess oil and fight blemishes. It can tackle everything from fine lines and wrinkles to acne and uneven texture, all while keeping your skin glowing and smooth.”

Making up this MVP acid complex are:
2% Phytic Acid: A gentle AHA with a dual-action mechanism (inhibiting melanin synthesis and melanin oxidation) known to brighten skin, improve dark spots and prevent free radical damage.
1% Mandelic Acid: As a larger-sized molecule, mandelic acid penetrates the skin more slowly, allowing you to reap the exfoliating benefits of AHAs without causing inflammation and irritation, making it ideal to use with acne and hyperpigmentation treatment.
.2% Salicylic Acid: Widely used in skincare, salicylic acid has an established rep when it comes to treating and preventing acne, photodamage and other skin conditions
2% Lactic Acid: An extra-mild AHA that’s safe to use on all skin types and helps improve firmness and texture as well as wrinkles and fine lines.
2.5% Glycolic Acid: Aside from facilitating natural exfoliation and surface skin renewal, research also shows that glycolic acid can aid in collagen synthesis.
