Skin Script products contain a variety of evidence-based ingredients, such as vitamin C, peptides, retinol, alpha hydroxy acids, and more. Below we’ll give you the details on a few of these key ingredients.
Vitamin C We’ve been hearing for years that Vitamin C is the best anti-aging ingredient. It’s a potent antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals, the unstable molecules that contribute to the formation of premature wrinkles and fine lines on the skin.
Vitamin C also helps fade dark spots, evens out skin tone, and increases radiance. As if that wasn’t enough, research suggests that when vitamin C is applied to the skin, it significantly reverses aging-related structural changes by influencing collagen and elastin synthesis.

Peptides As you age, your body’s production of collagen and elastin slows down. These two proteins are responsible for your skin’s structural support. As a result, the skin loses its natural plumpness and smoothness.
While collagen is necessary for maintaining youthful-looking skin, the collagen protein is too large to absorb into the skin topically. That’s why applying skin care products that contain collagen won’t provide the anti-aging benefits you’re looking for.
This is where peptides come into action. Peptides are the building blocks of protein, and they are easily absorbed into the deeper layers of skin due to their smaller size.
Skin Script Peptide Restoration Moisturizer contains 3 peptide complexes: acetyl hexapeptide-8, caprooyl tetrapeptide-3, and rH Oligopeptide-1.
RetinolRetinol is the go-to anti-aging ingredient recommended by dermatologists and skin experts. It’s clinically proven to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve uneven skin tone, restore skin firmness, and shrink the appearance of enlarged pores.
The only downside? Retinol can often lead to side effects like skin dryness, peeling, and irritation.

Glycolic AcidGlycolic acid is an AHA that has the ability to exfoliate the skin, stimulate the skin’s natural regeneration process, and help the skin to retain moisture.
It exfoliates the skin by targeting corneocytes (dead skin cells) in a process called corneocyte desquamation. By enhancing their breakdown and increasing the separation of skin cells, the rate of cell turnover is increased, leading to smoother, more radiant skin.
The Skin Script Glycolic Cleanser includes 17% glycolic acid, which is much more than you’d find in most glycolic acid cleansers.
