Cell Cycle Catalyst™ Product Details

Cell Cycle Catalyst™ is a daily use, layerable serum clinically proven to boost anti-aging results. Powered in part by a 7.7% multi-acid complex (alpha hydroxy and beta hydroxy acids) and 1% Taurine, Cell Cycle Catalyst™ is clinically tested to gently peel and enhance cellular turnover at the skin’s surface to smooth texture, improve the appearance of discoloration, and the look of visible lines. This anti-aging exfoliating serum helps maintain optimal hydration to support a healthy skin barrier.

Cell Cycle Catalyst™ is an optimal first step to boost the results of any anti-aging routine. It can also be used to prepare skin ahead of professional chemical peels.

Sponsored Physician

"As we age, cell turnover slows, leaving excess skin debris which can manifest as visible signs of aging. This build-up can hinder the skin’s receptivity to anti-aging serums and treatments. I seamlessly integrated Cell Cycle Catalyst™ into my routine by use it at night, after cleansing, and before my retinoid and moisturizer. This new product is gentle enough to be used daily.”

How to Use Cell Cycle Catalyst™

1

Prep + Dispense

Once daily after cleansing, in the morning or evening, apply 1/3 of a dropper of Cell Cycle Catalyst™ with hands to a dry face.

2

Apply + Complete

Gently smooth the serum onto dry skin. If using in the morning, apply before a SkinCeuticals vitamin C antioxidant serum and a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect the skin from UVA/UVB radiation.

A: Catalyst is a very lightweight, liquid consistency. It is recommended that you apply 1/3 dropper to the palm of your hand and apply using your fingers.

A: Catalyst is an extremely gentle formula and a great option for those who cannot tolerate retinols, retinoids, glycolic acid, etc. You may experience a slight adjustment period, which is completely normal when using an acid-based product.

A: Taurine is a natural amino acid found in skin. With age and external factors, it decreases over time. Cell Cycle Catalyst’s formulation contains a synthetic derivative to help boost cellular vitality, stimulate skin barrier renewal, and maintain skin’s optimal hydration levels.

A: Cell Cycle Catalyst was tested for tolerance and efficacy in a clinical study where users applied Catalyst on top of their generic anti-aging routines including retinol products. Good tolerance was observed. Cell Cycle Catalyst is also a great option for those who cannot tolerate a retinol or retinoid.

A: While Cell Cycle Catalyst was tested with generic anti-aging routines with no restrictions set in place, there is no specific safety test on these pairings. Please contact your physician or aesthetician for their recommendation.

A: We always recommend the use of sunscreens as the last step of your morning routine to protect from damaging UVA/UVB rays. You may experience some increased skin sensitivity due to the acids within the formulation.

The Cell Cycle Catalyst treatment had great results on my skin.

Very Effective!

I was surprised when I first opened this item. It is called a serum but there is almost no viscosity to it. It looks like clear water, it is so thin. It is also packaged in Skinceuticals amber glass bottle with a dropper to prevent UV degradation, which I love. I use it over freshly washed skin. The very first time I used it, I felt as if my skin showed less redness, which is an issue I face. The primary ingredients are alpha hydroxy and beta hydroxy acids so I do have to research what other products this can layer with. As marketed, it says the product will gently peel and enhance cellular turnover. To be clear, there is no visible peeling. I'm really kind of impressed because I thought my overall skin tone was noticeably improved after just a few uses.

Love this product despite some drawbacks

The Cell Cycle Catalyst treatment had great results on my skin. The mornings after using this product (used before bedtime), my skin looked smooth, glowy, and radiant. However, this is a very thin formulation with very little glide, which didn't make it very enjoyable to use. The results were so lovely, however, I forgave the application issues entirely.
