Silymarin Protects & Minimizes Oilliness!
SkinCeuticals Silymarin CF is an oil-free Vitamin C serum formulated specifically for oily, acne, and blemish-prone skin. This innovative product contains a potent combination of ingredients that reduces oiliness, improves skin texture and tone, improves skin clarity and radiance, and provides strong protection against environmental aggressors.
Research shows that blemish-prone skin has higher levels of oil and lower levels of antioxidants. Daily environmental aggressors like UV rays, blue light, and pollution can generate free radicals that oxidize the skin’s oils. Oxidation of oil in the skin, which can introduce bacteria into the pores, leads to inflammation and ultimately to blemishes. Silymarin CF uses the power of Silymarin (from the milk thistle plant), L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C),Ā Ferulic Acid, and Salicylic Acid to help prevent oil oxidation, neutralize free radical damage, enhance antioxidant performance, reduce acne, and refine pores.
Silymarin CF helps prevent oxidation which can lead to acne breakouts and accelerated signs of aging. Clinical studies show that in 4 weeks SkinSceuticals’ Silymarin CF reduced oil oxidation by up to 76%!
