Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. SkinCeuticals is the name of a skin care line founded in 1994 by co-founders Alden Pinnell and Russell Moon. The products were based on a combination of antioxidant ingredients developed and patented by Sheldon R. Pinnell, M.D., the J. Lamar Callaway Professor Emeritus of Dermatology at Duke University Medical Center. Dr. Pinnell’s research demonstrated that certain combinations of antioxidants in specific concentrations could protect human skin from damage caused by sunlight and pollution resulting in oxidative stress. Specifically, the antioxidants had an anti-inflammatory effect on skin. The basic science was developed into cosmetic formulae that could be applied topically to protect skin.

L’Oreal purchased SkinCeuticals in 2005, in what was honored as the “Deal of Year/Southwest” award from The Deal finance and business magazine. Mr. Moon and Mr. Pinnell also were named “Entrepreneurs of the Year/Southwest Division” by Ernst & Young in 2003.

SkinCeuticals sells its products through a specialized distribution network including dermatologists, cosmetic surgeons, and high-end spas. Its headquarters remain in Dallas, Texas while sales reach more than 35 countries.[dead link]
