SkinCeuticals Cell Cycle Catalyst

Cell Cycle Catalyst is an exfoliating serum designed to refine texture, brighten uneven tone and support the skin’s barrier. It’s intended for people noticing dullness, roughness, early signs of ageing or post‑blemish marks who want a regular acid treatment that can be introduced gradually into a routine.

At a glance

• Suitable for: most skin types (oily, combination, dry, mature). Introduce slowly if you have sensitive skin.
• Concerns: uneven texture, dullness, dark spots, clogged pores and the look of fine lines.
• Size: 30 ml dropper bottle.
• Texture: lightweight, silky serum; non‑sticky.
• Fragrance & alcohol: formulated without added fragrance and without denatured alcohol.

What it is

How to use

• AM: If used in the morning, apply to clean, dry skin then follow with a moisturiser and a broad‑spectrum SPF. Daytime sun protection is essential when using exfoliating acids.
• PM: After cleansing, dispense a few drops onto dry fingertips and smooth over face, avoiding the eye area. Allow to absorb before applying moisturiser.
• Start slowly: Begin 1–2 nights per week and increase frequency as tolerated. Do not combine with other strong exfoliants at the same time; alternate nights when introducing new actives.

Why it works

• Multi‑acid complex (phytic, mandelic, salicylic, glycolic): combines acids that work at different layers to help loosen dead skin and refine texture.
• Taurine: an amino‑acid derivative that helps support hydration and the appearance of the skin barrier.
• Fragrance‑free, alcohol‑free base: reduces potential for unnecessary irritation and makes the formula more comfortable for regular use.

What to expect

• Immediately: a lightweight, non‑sticky finish with smoother initial feel.
• 2–4 weeks: gradual improvement in brightness and surface texture for many users.
• 8–12 weeks: continued refinement of tone and texture with consistent use.

Good to know

• Always perform a patch test before first use.
• If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or have a history of sensitivity to salicylates or other acids, consult a healthcare professional before use.
• If persistent irritation, redness or discomfort occurs, stop use and seek advice from a skincare professional.
