When SkinCeuticals launched P-TIOX Wrinkle-Modulating Peptide Serum, it changed the conversation around topical wrinkle correction. It quickly became one of the brand's best-selling corrective serums, visibly smoothing expression lines and delivering glass-skin radiance. Through continued research and feedback from providers, SkinCeuticals identified an opportunity to expand the P-TIOX family, further enhancing skin quality and improving visible concerns that toxin injections alone do not treat.

Dynamic vs. static wrinkles

The road to wrinkle formation begins with intrinsic aging (genetics) and extrinsic aging (UV exposure and pollution). This is followed by repetitive muscle movements that lead to expression lines, also known as dynamic wrinkles, which only appear when we move our faces. This stage provides a great window of opportunity to intervene with in-office neurotoxin injections or topical solutions like P-TIOX Serum. Over time, however, continued muscle movement causes these expression lines to become static wrinkles, which remain visible even when the face is at rest. These deep-set wrinkles are traditionally more difficult to correct and often require a multi-modal approach for effective treatment.

Connecting the dots: From pores to wrinkles

Enlarged pores are a primary concern that can affect individuals of any age or skin type. While oily skin is traditionally more prone to visible pores, dry or dehydrated skin can also show significant prominence. Much like wrinkles, pore visibility evolves over time. As we lose structural integrity due to the natural aging process, our pores begin to change shape; what starts as a circle eventually becomes elongated. These "linear pores" eventually merge to form the appearance of fine wrinkles, making pore refinement an essential step in any advanced anti-aging regimen.

The solution to deep-set wrinkles and pore modulation

While neurotoxin injections are the gold standard for addressing expression lines, and the inspiration behind P-TIOX Serum, SkinCeuticals recognized a gap in the market for addressing surface texture, pore modulation, and deep-set static wrinkles simultaneously. That’s where P-TIOX Wrinkle Modulating Peptide Cream comes in. It is a potent wrinkle and texture-correcting moisturizer formulated to visibly reduce the deep-set wrinkles and pores that neurotoxins alone do not treat. Its unique, lightweight texture delivers intense hydration without a greasy feel, leaving the skin looking smoother and more radiant.

Powered by patent-pending technology

P-TIOX Cream is formulated with five powerful actives: two designed to address contraction lines and static wrinkles, and three focused on pore and texture modulation.

Contraction Lines + Deep-Set Wrinkles

• 10% Myrixin™: A flavonoid-rich complex inspired by neurotoxin-like effects, which targets deep-set wrinkles
• 2% Tripeptide: Designed to help improve the appearance of key contraction lines

Pore + Texture Modulation

• 1% Crystalide Micropeptide: Helps promote skin transparency and radiance
• 5% Niacinamide + LHA + Zinc PCA: Visibly refines skin texture, reduces pores, and balances oil for visibly smoother skin

Visible results and benefits

P-TIOX Cream is clinically tested to visibly correct wrinkles and pores while improving seven key skin quality parameters.

• In 1 Use:* Hydration is boosted by 94% in just one hour, providing 24-hour moisture. The skin barrier is strengthened by 32%, and sebum accumulation is reduced by 50% after 8 hours.
• In 4 Weeks:** Skin is visibly 15% smoother and 10% brighter.
• In 12 Weeks:** Wrinkles are visibly reduced by up to 33%, and pore size is reduced by up to 30%. Overall skin quality, smoothness, and tone evenness show visible improvements of up to 30%.

The "Glass Skin" Protocol: Serum + cream

While P-TIOX Cream is a powerhouse on its own, its full potential is unlocked when used as part of the P-TIOX "Power Couple" routine. When paired with P-TIOX Serum, this combination enhances overall skin clarity and surface smoothness, delivering visible glass-skin radiance in just one week.

Luxurious texture, clean formula

Despite its clinical strength, the user experience is incredibly sensorial. The micro-melting cream texture delivers intense hydration that absorbs instantly, leaving skin feeling velvet-soft and non-greasy.

Formula highlights:

• Paraben-free, dye-free, and fragrance-free
• Alcohol-free
• Suitable for all skin tones and sensitive skin types
• Physician-tested to complement neurotoxin injections

How to integrate P-TIOX Cream into your routine

Twice daily, after applying a corrective serum, dispense a small amount into clean hands. Gently press the cream evenly into the skin on the face, neck and around the eyes. Follow with a SkinCeuticals sunscreen. For maximum efficacy, follow this simple protocol daily:

• Cleanse AM/PM: Start with your preferred SkinCeuticals cleanser, such as Simply Clean Gel Exfoliating Cleanser
• Prevent AM: Apply a potent vitamin C serum like C E Ferulic to prevent damage
• Correct AM/PM: Apply your corrective serum (like P-TIOX Serum)
• Correct + Hydrate AM/PM: Gently press a small amount of P-TIOX Cream into the face, neck, and the delicate area around the eyes
• Protect AM/PM: During the day, always finish with SkinCeuticals sunscreen like Future Mineral UV Defense to protect your skin and maintain your results
