SkinCeuticals Metacell Renewal B3
Metacell Renewal B3 utilizes a high concentration of 5% niacinamide (vitamin B3) combined with a firming tripeptide concentrate, and 15% pure glycerin to address early signs of photoaging. While signs of photoaging appear at different intensities according to skin biology, lifestyle, geography, sun protection behavior, and skincare regimen, they have a multiplicative effect, creating a prematurely-aged appearance. This comprehensive daily emulsion visibly improves these early signs of aging by increasing cell turnover to resurface the skin, help reclarify and even skin tone, and improve the appearance of wrinkles and surface elasticity.
Overview:
- Promotes skin renewal by increasing cell turnover.
- Strengthens skin’s moisture barrier.
- Reduces the appearance of discoloration and blotchiness.
- Lightweight emulsion delivers intense hydration without a heavy or tacky feel.
- Helps improve the appearance of skin’s firmness.
How to use: Use as a lightweight moisturizer or as a serum before moisturizing.
