Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 is an anti aging cream formulated with a maximized concentration of lipids: 2% pure ceramides, 4% natural cholesterol, and 2% fatty acids. This unique lipid correction cream contains the first 2:4:2 cholesterol-dominant ratio to help restore skin's external barrier and support natural self-repair, while potently nourishing aging skin for improvement in the visible appearance of skin smoothness, laxity, pores, and overall radiance.
Once or twice daily, apply a small amount between fingertips, warm and melt the cream in circular motions on face, neck, and chest. If using in the morning, apply after a SkinCeuticals vitamin C antioxidant serum and before a SkinCeuticals sunscreen. If using with a retinol at night, apply after retinol application.

SCIENCE
beforeafterAging skin is increasingly susceptible to lipid depletion: the loss of natural compounds in skin’s surface, present in the predominant form of ceramides, natural cholesterol, and fatty acids. This lipid loss occurs with age and compromises skin’s natural protective barrier, resulting in visible signs of accelerated aging, as skin loses its ability to effectively self-repair. As a result, visible signs of aging may appear more pronounced, in the form of skin roughness, uncomfortable tightness, dullness, and loss of facial fullness. Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 is the first anti aging cream to directly address age-related lipid loss with a 2:4:2 cholesterol-dominant ratio, this formulation contains maximized concentration of pure lipids easily utilized by skin.
CLINICAL STUDY
In an 8-week study, Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 significantly improved the appearance of key visible signs of accelerated aging:
Protocol: A dermatologist-controlled 8-week clinical study on 55 subjects with twice daily application of Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2. Subjects also used SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser and Ultimate UV Defense SPF 30. Inclusion Criteria: Females ages 55-75 with moderate fi ne lines/wrinkles, uneven skin tone, skin dullness, skin roughness, lack of skin tone clarity, and lack of skin firmness.
In a lipidomic study, use of this cream resulted in a 57% increase in ceramides, 50% increase in cholesterol, and 12% increase in fatty acids in the form of triglycerides.
