Cellular Lift

New to SkinCeuticals is Cell Cycle Catalyst, €105, a lightweight, layer-able serum designed to boost your current anti-ageing routine. It contains 1% taurine to help stimulate cell energy. As always, with active ingredients, I strongly recommend you try it well before your wedding in case of a reaction.
