One of the things that has changed the way that new products such as the Skinceuticals product lineup approach the treatment of problem skin is a more broader understanding of how the skin actually functions has been gained.

In the past, most if not all topical skin care products only dealt with surface issues of the skin, which it turns out are for the most part symptoms of an underlying problem in the skins sub dermal layers.

What this all means is that if a skin treatment product can’t penetrate the skins outer or dermal skin layer than it will not be effective for the most part. Also, another thing that was discovered is that most skin issues such as acne are in fact, the result of more than one skin deficiency or dysfunction.

It is precisely for this reason that Skinceuticals carries a complete product lineup to deal with the many varied skin types and the wide variety of problems that can effect your skin. All of the products that Skinceuticals offers contain substances that are chemically engineered to function in the skins lower substrate, because it is only in the skins sub dermal layers that the core skin problems can be addressed.

For instance, Skinceuticals B5 Gel is one of their most popular skin care products and the vitamin B5 that it contains is water soluble unlike the oil based B5 that you will find in other competing products.

While the oil based vitamin B5 may feel better on the surface and look like it may be having some effect, the fact of the matter is that it will never travel beyond the skins protective surface. The water soluble vitamin B5 in Skinceuticals B5 gel on the other hand, quickly bypasses the skins surface to migrate to the skins sub dermal layers where it can then function on a cellular level with living skin tissue to produce actual cumulative results.
