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 - but only the active form L'Ascorbic Acid stimulates collagen production, strengthening and stabilising 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 Asorbic Acid 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. This form is effective even in less acidic, skin-neutral pH ranges, which also makes it more compatible.
