Metacell by Skinceutical




Metacell is the first SkinCeuticals product specifically developed for younger skin which is exhibiting the first signs of photoageing, which are linked to biological causes that affect all layers of the skin. Rough, dull texture and dehydration are symptoms that affect the stratum corneum, while discoloration affects the epidermis, and blotchiness, skin slackening, and static and fine lines affect the dermis. Lifestyle and genetics can cause a multiplicative effect of these symptoms, which can appear simultaneously and at different intensities resulting in a prematurely-aged appearance.


Metacell Renewal B3 from SkinCeuticals is a new advanced twice-daily emulsion specifically designed to correct early signs of photoageing. It has been clinically proven to increase cell turnover, boost hydration, re-clarify tone, re-tighten the skin's surface and improve skin’s texture.
Metacell is unique in that is contains the most powerful ingredients on the market with 5% niacinamide, the highest concentration available in a cosmeceutical formulation.

Niacinamide also known as B3 helps to reduce the appearance of skin discolouration and strengthens the skin's moisture barrier. Niacinamide may be beneficial for Rosacea and Seborrheic dermatitis

The 15% pure glycerin component gives a cosmetically elegant and fresh texture, creating a fluid pathway for trans-epidermal penetration of key active ingredients. The US patent-pending delivery system is also emulsifier and thickener-free, enabling increased penetration without compromising the skin barrier. Traditional delivery methods typically use acids to disrupt the skin barrier to enable delivery of actives, whereas Metacell actually reinforces the barrier (with glycerin), while delivering the actives into skin.


The unique water-break formulation of Metacell gives intense hydration and optimised delivery of clinically-proven and highly potent actives within a fresh emulsion, which glides on easily. It is also one of the most versatile products on the market: the emulsion texture forms a smooth and non-tacky base for makeup, giving an ideal all-in-one combination of corrective and daily moisturising benefits.

Metacell can be used for clients with all skin types who are interested in ‘prejuvenation’ or are experiencing multiple early symptoms of photoageing, such as rough, dull texture, skin laxity, localised discolorations and red blotchiness.

The main age range for patients is 30-45- but depending on individual skin needs could fall either side of these parameters.

As well as being integrated into a daily skincare regime for ongoing skin benefits,

The efficacy of Metacell has been demonstrated through six different clinical and imaging methods. Results from an independent 12-week study showed statistically significant improvements in key symptoms of photoageing, including: clarity, radiance, smoothness, fine lines, and firmness.

After 12 weeks, there was an 18% improvement in hydration and a 24% improvement in skin barrier function (via reduction of trans-epidermal water loss). Biomarker analyses also demonstrated a 20% statistically significant decrease in tyrosinase - the enzyme responsible for melanin production and a 20% statistically significant increase in involucrin - a protein responsible for barrier repair.


Clients  can expect their skin to have a reclarified tone, with a re-tightened surface and renewed appearance. Redness and blotchiness is reduced and skin is intensely hydrated without a sticky feel.  The skin cycle of renewal is increased, with skin appearing more radiant and resilient
