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 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.

Lee Ann1 year ago

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

Glowing1 year ago

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.

Janice Black1 year ago

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.

Customer1 year ago

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.

Laura1 year ago

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

Customer1 year ago

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.

Customer1 year ago

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!

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.

Irishgrl152 years ago

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.

HallowsBee2 years ago

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.

Lynnie132 years ago

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!

KatieLi92 years ago

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.
