Find out exactly how much good Vitamin C has in store for you here.
HOW DOES VITAMIN C WORK?
Vitamin C is one of the best-known antioxidants. And thanks to its antioxidant effect, it protects the skin from free radicals. Vitamin C intercepts these like a shield, protecting your skin from damage and strengthening its protective barrier. Thanks to its antioxidant effect and by boosting collagen production, the active ingredient strengthens and stabilizes our collagen structure and ensures elastic, healthy connective tissue. Vitamin C effectively reduces micro-inflammation, which plays a major role in the development of blemishes, spots and acne. The anti-inflammatory properties refine the skin's appearance, soothe redness and ensure rapid wound healing. Studies also show that Vitamin C inhibits the excessive production of melanin in the skin and thus prevents the formation of pigmentation spots. At the same time, existing hyperpigmentation is lightened. The skin looks radiant, healthier and more even.
WHAT IS THE BEST FORM OF VITAMIN C?
The pure form of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is very unstable when exposed to air and light. Our Vitamin C ampoules are therefore filled in airtight containers and protected from light. Due to the direct consumption of the individual doses, they do not require any additional additives. The use of Vitamin C in skin care products ensures longer stability of the active ingredient. In contrast to pure Vitamin C , the derivatives do not have to be used in formulations with a highly acidic pH-value of 3.0-3.5. In our Vitamin C serums, we have therefore opted for the stabilized forms of the derivative acorbyl glucoside in the Sensitive serum and 3-0 ethyl acorbic acid in our Intensive serum . These forms also Treat the skin in the less acidic pH-neutral range, which also makes them better tolerated.
