Why We Love SkinCeuticals

SkinCeuticals is a skincare line that we introduced to our Med Spa at the beginning of this year. This commonly known brand has been around for awhile and has made quite the name for itself. Many of you have heard of, or currently use, their famous C E Ferulic. Some of you may not know that SkinCeuticals is advanced skincare backed by science and the medical grade version of the company that also creates CeraVe, La Roche Posay and Dermablend! Medical grade skincare means they contain ingredients that have been clinically proven to have a positive effect on the skin. One of the many reasons we love SkinCeuticals is the wide variety of products they offer. With this larger variety we are able to customize a skincare plan for any concern, any skin type, and any budget. You may remember our previous blog about these amazing products, but I figured we are due for an update as we now carry more of the line than before!
