Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2.

"This is the SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2. This one replenishes essential skin lipids like ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids in the exact proportions that are in your skin. It has that optimal ratio to restore the healthy barrier. It leaves your skin really nice and plump and smooth and nourished. It just feels heavenly on your skin. The key ingredients are 2% ceramides, 4% cholesterol, and 2% fatty acids."

"This is a creamy but yet not heavy or greasy moisturizer. The 2:4:2 really kind of stands for the ratio of lipids that specifically formulated for mature skin. So it has a right ratio of ceramides to cholesterol and fatty acids that really helps to better support our skin barrier especially with aging. This is a great one because aside from just mature skin, it's actually been shown to reduce that retinization period. So that period where our skin freaks out when we first start a topical retinoid because of this right ratio of lipids. It actually reduces the retinization period by a week in their clinical studies. It's creamy and nourishing but not heavy. I particularly like it for the evening but definitely if you are really dry and looking for something that's even suitable to use in the morning, this would be a really good one. Aside from that lipid ratio also contains vitamin E. One thing to just be careful is it does contain a little bit of fragrance, essential oil. So if you're super sensitive to that, maybe not be the best fit for you, but otherwise, I love recommending this."

"This is one of the best moisturizers that's ever been created. This blend of moisturizing ingredients is very similar to what we see in the natural skin barrier. There is a ratio of fatty acids to cholesterol that we normally see in the skin, and this product is meant to replicate the natural healthy skin barrier. It's quite expensive though, and you don't get much for that, you get 1.6 fluid ounces and the product's over $100. The trouble with this product is that it would have been perfect had they not added fragrances to it. If they had just made this a fragrance-free product, I would say it's one of the better products out there. My two qualms with it are the price point for a moisturizer, and the fact that you took this great blend of restorative lipids and mixed it in with fragrances. Moisturizers are there to help heal dry and damaged skin, that's vulnerable skin, that's their job. So when you add something like fragrance to it, that's problematic."

"It did reduce wrinkles all over the face. [...] I have used this product and I just didn't enjoy it. I didn't really like the texture of it. I didn't love the smell of it. So it's not my personal favorite. But if you're interested in using a science-backed product to help with things like fine lines and wrinkles, it may be worth a try. I actually prefer the SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2. It doesn't have that same targeting process, but I think in terms of how my skin feels, just like the experience of using the triple lipid, it's just so much better. And that product also has a huge cult following for that reason, and also because it works really well for mature skin."
