SO MUCH GOODNESS INSIDE
Not only does our entire body benefit from the most well-known vitamin, but our skin also loves the vitamin boost. Vitamin C not only has firming and regenerating properties but also directly impacts your complexion: it brightens pigmentation spots and acne scars and, as a powerful antioxidant, promotes a naturally radiant glow. Discover all the benefits Vitamin C has in store for you here.
WHAT IS VITAMIN C?
Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin involved in numerous metabolic processes in the body. It is essential for the development of connective tissue, bones, and teeth, serving as a vital cofactor for the enzymes involved. For our skin, Vitamin C is particularly significant due to its stimulating effect on the production of elastin, fibronectin, and proteoglycans. This supports healthy, firm connective tissue.
Vitamin C also influences hyaluronic acid levels. Its protective properties inhibit the breakdown of hyaluronic acid, which can be triggered by inflammatory processes or acidic environments. With its antioxidant power, Vitamin C neutralizes harmful compounds such as free radicals and reactive oxygen species, mitigating negative processes in the skin.
HOW DOES VITAMIN C WORK?
Vitamin C is one of the most well-known antioxidants. Through its antioxidant effect, it protects the skin from free radicals. Vitamin C acts like a shield, guarding your skin against damage and strengthening its protective barrier. In addition to its antioxidant properties, Vitamin C stimulates collagen production, strengthening and stabilizing our collagen structure, leading to elastic, healthy connective tissue. Micro-inflammations, which are significantly involved in the development of impurities, pimples, and acne, are effectively reduced by Vitamin C. Its anti-inflammatory properties refine the skin texture, alleviate redness, and promote quick wound healing. Studies also show that Vitamin C inhibits excessive melanin production in the skin, preventing the formation of dark spots. At the same time, existing hyperpigmentation is lightened, leaving the skin glowing, healthier, and more even-toned.
WHAT IS THE BEST FORM OF VITAMIN C?
Pure Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is very unstable when exposed to air and light. The use of Vitamin C derivatives in skincare products ensures longer stability of the active ingredient. Unlike pure Vitamin C, derivatives do not need to be used in formulations with a highly acidic pH of 3.0-3.5. In our Everyday Glow Serum, we have chosen stabilised forms of the Vitamin C derivative Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate and L'Ascorbic Acid in our Antioxidant Defence Booster. These forms are effective even in less acidic, skin-neutral pH ranges, which also makes them more compatible.

OUR Everyday Glow Serum – FOR A NATURALLY FRESH RADIANCE
Our Everyday Glow Serum, with 5% of the stable and highly tolerable derivative Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, is the perfect serum for introducing Vitamin C into your skincare routine. It evens out your complexion, reduces sign of blemishes, reduces redness, and gives your skin a naturally fresh glow.
The stable derivative Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a gentle, stabilised form of Vitamin C that is gradually converted into active ascorbic acid in the skin. This allows it to work throughout the day rather than releasing its full effect at once. In addition, the extract of Ayurvedic herbs provides antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps to reduce acne marks and uneven redness, especially around the nose and cheeks, promoting an even skin tone. The amino acid from Bamboo keeps the skin soft and smooth.

WHO IS VITAMIN C SUITABLE FOR?
Which Vitamin C Intensity is Right for You?
Vitamin C is suitable for all skin types. Only individuals with very sensitive or irritated skin should use skin-friendly Vitamin C derivatives.
Vitamin C works best in serums, creams, and sunscreens. This is because your skin needs antioxidant protection during the day to shield it from UV radiation. When combined with sunscreen, it can even slow down skin aging. Additionally, for those already showing early signs of sun-induced skin aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation, Vitamin C products can help strengthen the skin and even out the complexion.
