Description
Vitamin C has received much attention in skin care due to it’s essential role in collagen synthesis and cross-linking of collagen fibrils. Research has shown that increasing the concentration of Vitamin C (to as much as 20%) increases it’s effectiveness. This serum is an effective treatment for anti-aging and to improve overall tone and texture of the skin. The stability of Vitamin C is improved by the addition of Ferulic Acid, which also protects the skin against UVB-induced erythema and is an antioxidant.
Hyaluronic Acid is responsible for epidermal hydration, protects against free radical damage, and in it’s native form, acts as anti-inflammatory agent. Native HA has been employed for several years to help the skin to regain elasticity and moisture. All EstheCeutical products that use Hyaluronic Acid are formulated with native HA. Research has shown that lower molecular weight HA may act as an inflammatory cytokine. As native HA is far more expensive than lower molecular weight HA fragments, many other product lines forgo using native HA.
The flavonoid Phoretin is an antioxidant and increases penetration of the other actives.
