SKINICIAN was founded by mum and daughter Hilary and Shelley as a way to cut through the noise and confusion of the skincare world, offering multi-tasking products that target a number of concerns. Each one has a concentrated yet perfectly balanced blend of actives that deliver results without upsetting the skin’s protective barrier.
They bring together experts in the skincare industry – from cosmeceutical chemists, to formulators and manufacturers – because they realised that people could achieve happy, healthy skin without having to spend a fortune or risk irritation. And that fewer, multi-tasking products and better education around skincare were all that was needed.
Each time they launch something new, you know it's been worked on and perfected to ensure it delivers against the product claims which is why the brand is so popular. This Autumn's launch is no exception.
Radiant Glow Brightening Gift Set (£55/€68)
They have recently launched the new Radiant Glow Brightening Gift Set to answer the skin concerns of those with pigmentation, dull skin, uneven skin tone, dry skin and premature aging.
This exquisite Radiant Glow Brightening Gift Set contains three of the best anti-pigmentation products to brighten and rejuvenate dull skin. Rich in concentrated actives, each of these brightening skincare heroes works wonderfully on its own but used together the formulas complement each other to leave skin intensely radiant and renewed.
This brightening skincare set contains
Advanced Pro-Radiance Enzyme Cleanser 150ml, a foaming face wash rich in exfoliating natural fruit enzymes (AHAs), together with resurfacing prickly pear, to leave skin thoroughly cleansed and healthy-looking.
While the Advanced Pro-Radiance Enzyme Peel 50ml features a slightly stronger concentration of enzymes to remove dry and dull skin cells for a nourished post-facial glow.
And for the perfect finishing touch, the NEW Brightening Vitamin C Elixir 15ml is a nourishing facial oil with brightening Vitamin C, a potent antioxidant that works to reduce pigmentation and age spots, while boosting collagen in the bargain.
“As we age, some of us find uneven skin tone or sun spots can be a real issue, so I’ve handpicked a trio of brightening heroes with trusted ingredients such as AHAs and Vitamin C that work to restore skin to its former glory and deliver that post-facial glow we all desire! For me, it’s the next best thing to a salon treatment.” – Shelley Martin, Co-Founder SKINICIAN

FAQs
When should I use vitamin C in my skincare routine?
Our Vitamin C Elixir can be used morning or night before you apply your day or night moisturiser. If you have an oilier skin type, you may find it best to only apply at night.
How long will it take to see results?
When introducing a new SKINICIAN product to your home care routine, it can take between 4-6 weeks which is one full skin cell cycle.
Can I use vitamin C and retinol together?
If you would like to use both vitamin C and retinol in your skincare routine, we would recommend using our Vitamin C Elixir in the morning and your Ageless Overnight Retinol Powerbalm at night. If you would prefer to use your Vitamin C Elixir in the evening, we recommend alternating between them.
Can I use vitamin C serums if I have sensitive skin?
Yes. Our Vitamin C Elixir is also formulated with grapeseed oil which helps to reduce inflammation and nourish the skin's barrier.
Can I use vitamin C oil on its own?
Yes, SKINICIAN Vitamin C Elixir can be used on the skin in place of a night cream. We do not advise using it alone during the day as we require an SPF to protect the skin from UVR.
Is vitamin c serum safe during pregnancy?
Yes, you can safely use our Vitamin C Elixir during pregnancy.
