SkinCeuticals Cell Cycle Catalyst Exfoliating Anti-Aging Serum 30mL

Takes years off of my face! I love this and wear it everyday. It sinks right into your skin. No greasy feeling. I put my moisturizer on afterwards. For me it keeps fine lines away especially on my forehead!

i found this product too watery- it made application difficult

I have used this product exactly 2 weeks due to the sample size. As others remark it has a stopper that you squeeze product that is exactly like water. It is not heavy, sticky or serum like so it's best to use clean fingers to pat gently on your face. Due to not being very spreadable I suggest using a roller device like quartz for even application. Afterwards apply all other routines such as serums or creams.\nI initially noticed softer skin and slight break outs as my skin purged and became smoother. No dryness or flakes. It simply increased cell turnover/mild exfoliate to allow other products better absorption.\nI put before and after photos definitely a rosy glow, soft and clear. One less star was due to the ultra watery formulation. Definitely recommend 👌

I love this product. I saw a difference within a week. My skin is tighter less wrinkled and with the other 2 products I use I glow.

I’ve only been using for about 3 weeks now but I love it my skin is glowing and I can see a clear difference in my skin. I can’t wait to see the long term effects of this product! I will definitely buy it again.

Skin has never been better and pores look incredible. Even though i clean my face throughly this manages to remove a little extra which has to be dead skin cells. Its amazing how much a small amount accomplished

Since I started using Cell Cycle Catalyst, everyone comments on my skin's glow. I see the glow as well. I look younger and fresh faced.

I use this product at night after my P-Tiox regimen. Love how my skin absorbs this product and evens out my skin tones. Highly recommend.

You apply it onto dry skin right after cleansing. It’s supposed to be the step right before retinol. Despite following directions and making sure there wasn’t any moisture on the skin, there is a slight sting almost like a peel would give. It’s nice that it goes along side with retinol without irritation. There is a slightly higher glow but no other long-term effects. I’ve been using it for two months.

At first I was not impressed, but after a week I noticed how smooth & firm my skin looked with a nice glow!!

As a huge SkinC fan I had to try this new product. Jury is still out as I'm only halfway through the bottle but I don't see any perceptible changes in my skin. But if I had to give a verdict now I would say I would probably not repurchase. Will update when I am through the first bottle.

First time purchasing this. I wanted to add something to my routine and after reading the reviews I decided to try. It's very thin and watery. I like how it soaks right into my skin and not sticky. Can't really tell too much about fine lines but hopefully after finishing one bottle I will see more results

I used this product for over a month before writing this review, and I wish I would've used it more diligently during that time. I was hesitant to use it in the morning at first, because I work very hard to avoid overexposure to the sun on my face. After all, why spend all this time and money to improve my skin and then throw it away without protecting my skin? Anyway, rest assured that with regular SPF use I did not find this made my skin more sensitive than usual to the sun. I used it both morning and night, and each time my skin would feel fresh and dewy in the morning. It never made my skin peel, which is amazing. My skin is definitely more dry, and prone to a little peeling. If I ever had a dry spot, it would actually smooth it out and resurface that area! It was awesome. Now I'm officially out of it and definitely going to purchase!

CONS: I received a sample of this product and am being asked for my honest review. It is rather difficult to fully give it 5 stars when I received a very tiny vial with the expectation that I SHOULD see results in as little as 5 days with the amount given. I had to be very stingy with applying it. I used on face and neck. Typically it takes about 6-8wks to see full benefits of any Skincare products. Or at least that's what I learned from my atologist. \nPROS: it's lightweight. It's also meant for texture. I like how it felt on my skin, but not enough product to really say I seen a difference. No odd smell to this one compared to the their ferulic serum, so that's a plus. It's meant to give your retinol a boost. So I think I might purchase to fully try

I recently incorporated Skinceuticals' new Cell Cycle Catalyst into my skincare routine, and here are my thoughts after a week of use:\n\nPros:\n- The product is pleasantly watery, making it easy to incorporate into my current skincare routine without feeling heavy or greasy.\n- I appreciate the simplicity of adding it into my regimen without disrupting my existing products.\n\nCons:\n- Despite consistent use for a week, I only noticed a minor improvement in my skin texture. While it's a positive sign, it's not a significant transformation.\n- To provide a more comprehensive review, I believe I need to use the product for a longer duration to gauge its full effectiveness.\n\nOverall, Skinceuticals' Cell Cycle Catalyst shows promise, but it requires more time for a thorough evaluation. It's worth considering for those seeking gradual improvements in their skincare routine.

I received a sample of this product to try and I incorporated it in with my other SC product regimen. I use the SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic and Phyto Corrective daily and would absolutely buy this and add it to my regimen. A little goes a long way and I use it as a first step, second step is Phyto Corrective and then CE Ferulic. I wait a bit in between to let the products really soak in. I finish with a skin barrier moisturizer to lock it all in. I noticed other reviewers said it pilled. I did not have that issue, but I also do not wear much makeup daily. In all honestly, the sample was too small to have any discernable effects, but using the product was an enjoyable experience. It was watery and not really any smell. I trust SkinCeuticals, as I have been using their products for a long time and have very good results with clear, glowing skin. I would expect this to be no different.

I used this product after cleansing a toning for a week in replace of my normal serum . This product is fantastic for anyone who doesn't get along with the heavy feel of some serums ( oily skin I'm talking to you ) it has a water like consistency and absorbs immediately to a matte finish . The absorbtion makes it excellent for daytime use under makeup . I immediately noticed a beautiful glow to my skin and it also made it feel amazingly soft . The key ingredients are designed to Key Features:\n\nBoosts cellular energy with taurine\nMulti-acid complex of alpha and beta hydroxy acids improve skin tone and texture .\nI felt no sting or irritation of any kind from the acids so I would say definitely ok for sensitive skin . I only had a trial size but the glow alone would make me purchase the regular product.

I've been using Cell Cycle Catalyst for a couple weeks now and I can already see and feel a difference. This serum works wonders on aging skin, like wrinkles, fine lines, and dullness. I also have some stubborn dark spots, and I can see a very slight difference already, which is encouraging! \n\nI've also noticed improvements in my skin's texture, especially in the smoothness. Most importantly, it's super gentle, which means my skin has been less irritated by the exfoliation than it has with other products I've tried. (A big win for me!)\n\nFor a skincare boost that addresses aging concerns and supports overall skin health, Cell Cycle Catalyst is a must-have. I can already tell it's going to become a staple in my routine, and I highly recommend it for anyone seeking effective and gentle skincare.

I have only used the product for about a week, so I’ll write an additional review after a few months. I was intrigued because the product description said it could be used on even the most sensitive skin, and that is definitely me. It did not irritate or cause redness for me, as so many products do, but it did make my skin look clearer and brighter instantly. I have noticed a positive change in pores as well. The only word of caution I have about the product is: if you have sensitive skin, do not use this product followed by the retinol! The skin on my face, neck, and upper chest peeled off like a fair-skinned person with a sunburn. Won’t be doing that again! But otherwise, the product seems great. And I’m sure those without sensitive skin will have no issues using both together.

Sure, here's a more casual review of the serum:\nThis serum is like a magic potion for your face! It's super lightweight, so it sinks right in and doesn't feel greasy under your moisturizer. Plus, it helps your skin ditch dead cells faster, which means hello glow and goodbye dullness!\nIt's also got anti-aging goodies that fight wrinkles and keep your skin looking plump and youthful. Just be careful if you have sensitive skin, as it might tingle a bit. And while it can smooth out fine lines, don't expect it to erase deep wrinkles like magic.\nOverall, this serum is a total win for anyone who wants brighter, younger-looking skin. It's gentle enough for everyday use and plays well with other products in your routine. So ditch the filter and give your skin a real glow-up with this stuff!

I used the product at night. After the first day I saw that a skin bump on my face changed and it was becoming smaller. My skin was softer. Had an acne spot and it made it less noticeable. My skin looked like it was healing and was looking better. I didn't see any change in the fine lines I have on my face. The product does do something. I did not get any irritation, or other problems when using the product. One thing I just don't like about this product is that its liquid and hard to use. I think this product might be better if it was in a gel. When I used the product it dries fast when trying to apply to face. So there could be over uses of the product. Would be better if there was an easier way to use the product. If the company makes a gel version. I might purchase. I don't like the liquid product to well. That's why I gave it 4 stars.

My skin definitely feels smoother and more even-toned since I started using SkinCeuticals Cell Cycle Catalyst. The fine lines around my eyes seem less noticeable too. My skin looks brighter and more radiant. I think this is due to the gentle exfoliating effect of the AHAs and BHAs in the formula. Even though it contains exfoliating acids, this serum is surprisingly hydrating. It doesn't leave my skin feeling dry or tight. I have sensitive skin, and this product hasn't caused any irritation. It's also gentle enough for daily use! \n\nOverall, I'm very happy with Skinceuticals Cell Cycle Catalyst. It's a powerful anti-aging serum that delivers visible results. If you're looking for a product to improve your skin texture, tone, and radiance, I highly recommend giving this one a try.

I recieved this product to sample and review. I have combo skin that is starting to lean a little bit more on the dry side now that I have entered my 40's and areas where texture is starting to apear. I found this definitely improved those areas with texture and made them noticeably softer after only a few uses without making my oily areas greasy. The texture was very nice and light , it left behind no tackiness or stickiness. I could layer this under my other serums easily without any pilling. There is no smell to this. Even up close I couldn't really detect fragrance. My skin is also on the sensitive side and is prone to irratation and so far there has been none of that with this product. Overall I think this is a really nice addition to my skincare routine and will definitely be purchasing.
