SkinCeuticals Anti Wrinkle P-Tiox Cream 48ml

  Use morning and evening, after cleansing.

·       Apply after your serum. If you use the P-Tiox Serum, smooth that on first, then press a small amount of the cream over the face, neck and the area around the eyes.

·       Let it absorb fully. Press it in gently rather than rubbing or dragging the skin.

·       In the morning, finish with a broad-spectrum SPF as the last step.

Where SkinCeuticals P-Tiox Cream Fits in Your Routine

SkinCeuticals routines follow a simple order: cleanse, treat, moisturise and protect. P-Tiox Cream sits at the moisturise step, going on after your treatment serums and before sunscreen. A typical day looks like this: cleanse, then an antioxidant or vitamin C serum if you use one, then the P-Tiox Serum, then P-Tiox Cream, and an SPF to finish in the morning. At night, the cream is usually the last step. Working thinnest to thickest helps each product absorb properly.

What to Expect from the Cream

Skin tends to feel hydrated and comfortable straight away. The changes you are looking for, smoother-looking texture, more refined-looking pores, a softer look to lines and a brighter, clearer finish, build with daily use over a few weeks. SkinCeuticals positions the cream and the P-Tiox Serum as a pair, and using both tends to give better results than either on its own. Because the cream contains LHA, a mild exfoliating acid, a little tingling on first use can be normal; if your skin feels genuinely irritated, ease back to once a day until it settles.

Which Products Pair Well with P-Tiox Cream

·       P-Tiox Serum: the natural partner, applied just before the cream

·       A SkinCeuticals vitamin C antioxidant serum in the morning, for added protection against day-to-day environmental stress

·       A broad-spectrum SPF every morning: the single most effective step for protecting the look of skin over time

·       A gentle cleanser to start the routine, so you are not stripping skin before applying actives

If you also use a retinol or strong exfoliating acids, introduce them gradually and on separate evenings to begin with, so your skin is not handling too many actives at once.

Sensitive Skin, Pregnancy and Medical Conditions

SkinCeuticals states P-Tiox Cream has been tested across all skin types, including sensitive skin. Even so, if your skin is reactive it is sensible to patch test on a small area first, and to stop using it if irritation develops. The cream contains LHA, a salicylic-acid derivative, so if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, speak to your pharmacist or GP before starting it. Anyone managing a diagnosed skin condition should do the same. If you have in-clinic skin treatments, it is worth checking with the person who carries them out before adding a new active cream around the same time.

SkinCeuticals P-Tiox Cream: Frequently Asked Questions

What does SkinCeuticals P-Tiox Cream do?

It is an anti-wrinkle treatment cream that helps skin look smoother and more refined. The peptides work on the appearance of expression lines and deeper-set wrinkles, while niacinamide, LHA and zinc PCA help refine the look of pores and texture and keep oil in balance. It also hydrates, so skin feels comfortable rather than tight.

What is Myrixin?

Myrixin is SkinCeuticals' patent-pending complex, a blend of plant extracts concentrated in a flavonoid called myricetin. In P-Tiox Cream it is used at 10% and leads on the look of deep-set wrinkles, pores and overall texture.

Can I use P-Tiox Cream with the P-Tiox Serum?

Yes, they are designed to be used together. Apply the serum first, then the cream. The serum concentrates on expression lines and the cream adds pore, texture and hydration benefits, so they complement each other rather than doing the same job.

Is P-Tiox Cream suitable for oily or combination skin?

Yes. Unlike many richer anti-ageing creams, it has a light, fast-absorbing texture and contains niacinamide, LHA and zinc PCA, which help with the look of pores and with oil balance. That makes it a good fit for combination, oily and blemish-prone skin, as well as men's skin.

What age should I start using it?

There is no set age. Many people start using a peptide cream like this from their late twenties or thirties, when early expression lines and changes in texture begin to show, but it suits anyone wanting to soften the look of lines and refine skin texture.

Can I use P-Tiox Cream with retinol or vitamin C?

Vitamin C pairs well, usually in the morning before your other steps. Retinol can be used too, but introduce it gradually and on separate evenings to start with, so your skin is not handling several strong actives at once. If you are unsure, your pharmacist can help you build a routine.

Is P-Tiox Cream suitable during pregnancy?

The cream contains LHA, a salicylic-acid derivative. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, speak to your pharmacist or GP before using it, as they can advise on what is suitable for you.
