If you’ve shopped in the skincare aisle lately or flipped through the pages of a beauty magazine you will notice the hype on skincare products containing Vitamin C. There are only a few selected ingredients that can treat multiple skincare concerns. Vitamin C is one such example! Vitamin C provides potent antioxidant protection, shielding skin from damaging free radicals. Free radicals are those pesky rogue molecules that promote premature ageing. The most common forms of free-radical damage are environmental factors we can’t escape—such as sun damage, pollution and oxidative stress—that assault your skin daily, but that’s where topical Vitamin C comes in.
A well-formulated product containing vitamin C can provide a range of benefits to make your skin look younger for a long time. See what it can do:
Ascorbic acid is by far the most potent form of Vitamin C. Also known as L-ascorbic acid. When properly formulated, it helps create younger, firmer skin while fading signs of sun damage and post-acne marks.
However, for L-ascorbic acid to work its magic make sure the Vitamin C you choose is..
Stabilised Vitamin C.
Remember Ascorbic acid is the most photo unstable molecule and can easily lose its properties if not mixed with the right ingredients to make it stable.
For any product to benefit the skin it needs to reach the right places. Deep penetrating of ingredients will result in the best antioxidant effect. This is where Nanotechnology comes into play. Nanotechnology is the encapsulation of ingredients within tiny vesicles. These vesicles help ingredients reach even the last layer of the dermis.
Our cells are made up of both water and fat-soluble parts. So make sure that your Vitamin C is both water and fat-soluble. Vitamin C is a long-established skincare superstar that can help you achieve younger, healthier and more radiant skin.
