Why It’s Different

Skinceuticals Resveratrol BE 30ml
Skinceuticals Resveratrol B E - a powerful antioxidant serum for night use.
Improves skin density - firmness, radiance and elasticity. It also reduces the appearance of skin ageing.
Skin repairs itself at night from external ageing effects of exposure to daylight (UVA/UVB), pollution, air conditioning, computer screens (UV and infrared) and internal ageing factors caused by stress, smoking, alcohol, lack of sleep, exercise and advancing years (oxidative stress) which create free-radical damage to the skin and body.
Resveratrol B E helps target the visible signs of ageing and helps to reinforce skin's natural protection against free radicals.
Powerful, clinically proven concentration of 1% pure, stable Resveratrol
- 0.5% Baicalin
- 1% Alpha Tocopherol (Vitamin E)
SkinCeuticals Resveratrol B E supports the repair process to improve skin firmness, improved collagen density and elasticity, improved radiance and brightness, lightening of brown age-spots, irregular pigmentation
Soothing, lightweight gel serum - use at night under night moisturiser cream and eye cream
Suitable for normal, dry, combination or sensitive skin types.
This is an ideal product to help prevent visible skin ageing caused by stressful lifestyles, exposure to sun or HEV device light skin and as part of post treatment skincare.

Why do I need a vitamin c antioxidant serum?
Think of an apple, cut in half and exposed to the air.
It will quickly go brown and bad.
If you dipped it in lemon juice it wouldn't.
Lemon juice is rich in Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) which prevents oxidation thus stopping the apple from going bad.
Our faces are exposed to air, pollution, UV in day-light (not just sun-shine) and HEVL blue light from phone and computers and our own oxygen waste products from breathing and stress.
All of these factors conspire to turn skin "bad" and speed up our ageing process - think of it as human rust.
Antioxidant serums prevent this from happening.
