Vitamin C Suspension 30% in Silicone (30ml)

Clearance Item

This antioxidant-rich serum features vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) at the centre of its formulation with a concentration of 30% without a drop of water, as water can destabilise the efficacy of vitamin C. Vitamin C is an effective antioxidant that brightens the skin tone and reduces the appearance of ageing (discolouration, fine lines and dark circles). The addition of light silicones means that the product will feel smooth not the skin, unlike the gritty feeling that comes with Vitamin C 23% + HA 2%. This treatment is ideally applied at bedtime so you can wake up to visibly radiant and glowing skin.

Notes: The format of this formula is a suspension of very fine L-Ascorbic Acid powder and, as such, provides the most direct exposure of extremely high concentrations of Vitamin C topically.

1. With such format, a very strong tingling but non-irritating sensation is expected during the first 1-2 weeks of use until the skin's tolerance to such high exposure is elevated. If the sensation is too strong to tolerate, the formula can be mixed on each application with other creams or serums of your preference.

2. Alternative products on the market offer suspensions of Vitamin C in water-free formulations in heavier silicone bases. These formulations do keep the Vitamin C stable but the heavy silicone base can temper with the efficacy of the Vitamin C. Our formula avoids the use of heavy silicones to offer better exposure to the Vitamin C content. However, please note that this formulation would still offer slightly less efficient exposure to Vitamin C than our silicone-free Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% formula. The additional Vitamin C content (30%) in this silicone base helps offset the slight impairment to dermal exposure.

Manufacturer's Directions: Apply a small amount to face in the AM or the PM (PM preferred). Avoid contact with the eyes. A tingling sensation can be expected after application. If this sensation is too strong, this formula can be diluted on each application with your favourite serum or cream. If irritation occurs, cease use and consult a physician. Use only as directed on unbroken skin. Patch testing prior to use is advised. Keep out of reach of children.
