SkinCeuticals then adds repair-focused boosters: 3% niacinamide, 0.5% panthenol, 0.1% beta glucan, and cellulose, which forms a moisture-locking film the brand describes as bandage-like. Together they help visibly improve fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, and dark spots while keeping skin hydrated for 24 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe formula has also been tested after non-ablative laser procedures, where SkinCeuticals reports it helps repair the skin's moisture barrier and protect recovering skin.
