Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a potent antioxidant that plays a crucial role in skin health. When a Vitamin C product is "stabilised," it means that the formulation is designed to keep the Vitamin C effective over time, as it can be quite unstable and prone to degradation when exposed to light, air, and heat.
Stabilised Vitamin C in skincare products can make the skin glow due to several reasons:
Antioxidant properties: Vitamin C neutralizes free radicals that can damage cells, including skin cells. By protecting the skin from oxidative stress, it helps prevent premature aging and maintains a youthful glow.
Collagen production: Vitamin C is essential for the synthesis of collagen, a protein that helps keep skin firm and plump. By promoting collagen production, it can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and improve skin texture, making the skin appear more vibrant and glowing.
Inhibition of melanin production: Vitamin C can reduce the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for dark spots and uneven skin tone. By preventing excess melanin formation, it can help lighten hyperpigmentation, leading to a more even and bright complexion.
Anti-inflammatory effects: Vitamin C can reduce inflammation, which can lead to a reduction in skin redness and a more even skin tone.
Hydration: Vitamin C formulations are known to help the skin retain moisture, leading to better hydration and a dewy glow.
To achieve these skin benefits, it's important to use a stabilised form of Vitamin C that’s bioavailable to your skin.
A patented extraction process is used to stabilise the vitamin C in our Radiance serum ensuring it’s bioavailable to your skin when you apply it, and, we use Boston brown glass bottles to protect the vitamin content from light degradation.
The magic of vitamin C is science.
