SkinCeuticals is the name of a skin care line founded in 1994 by co-founders Alden Pinnell and Russell Moon. The products are based on a combination of antioxidant ingredients, and were developed and patented by Sheldon R. Pinnell, the J. Lamar Callaway Professor Emeritus of Dermatology at Duke University Medical Center.
L’Oreal purchased SkinCeuticals in 2005, in what was honored as the "Deal of Year/Southwest" award from The Deal finance and business magazine. Moon and Pinnell were named "Entrepreneurs of the Year/Southwest Division" by Ernst & Young in 2003.
SkinCeuticals sells its products through a distribution network including dermatologists, cosmetic surgeons, and spas. Its headquarters remain in Dallas, Texas.
