Vitamin C is an antioxidant that delivers environmental protection, helps prevent free radical damage from the environment such as air pollution and improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness and helps pigmentation and skin brightness.
For vitamin C to be effective it must be formulated with pure l-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) at an acidic pH within the 2.0-3.5 pH range and have a concentration between 10-20%. Skin Sculpt Triple Antioxidant Defence Serum is formulated with maximum 20% strength vitamin C and Ferulic Acid.
When Vitamin C when used in combination with a broad-spectrum sunscreen helps to protect the skin from harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun. If it is combined with other antioxidants such as ferulic acid it can help to reduce redness. By blocking the production of pigment in the skin it can reduce dark spots and skin discolouration.
When you first start to use a potent vitamin C you may experience a mild tingling sensation and it can be best to apply it every other day in the morning to begin with until your skin tolerates it. Effects can take up to three months of consistent use for you to see a noticeable improvement.
Vitamin C does not replace the use of sunscreen however when used under a SPF it can enhance the protection offered.
