April 4th is National Vitamin C Day and we’re celebrating with SkinCeuticals!
SkinCeuticals believes in celebrating the skin-protective and rejuvenating powers of vitamin C every day, but this year they’re making sure your eyes and lips get in on the antioxidant action (and benefits). Typically, when we talk vitamin C, our attention is on the face, but on this National Vitamin C Day, we’re spotlighting the products that provide unsurpassed protection against free-radicals and improvement in visible signs of aging for often-overlooked areas. This powerhouse ingredient is worthy of global recognition thanks to numerous scientifically-proven benefits—and the family of SkinCeuticals vitamin C-based antioxidant serums helps all skin types and concerns get in on the skin-improving action.
Why SkinCeuticals’ serums are the gold standard
There’s a reason SkinCeuticals’ vitamin C serums have received enormous praise from dermatologists: The brand is committed to upholding the highest quality standards when it comes to formulation and product testing. A leader in topical antioxidant science, SkinCeuticals’ formulations boast several patents and have won countless awards.
There are many forms of vitamin C, but none have been as extensively studied and proven as L-ascorbic acid. SkinCeuticals only uses this pure vitamin C, and strictly adheres to the Duke University patent parameters that have conclusively outlined the concentration and pH guidelines necessary for optimal product absorption.
SkinCeuticals also validates product performance by simulating real-life temperature and light conditions and performing extensive safety testing on human skin. This includes ensuring that at least 50% of test subjects have sensitive skin to ensure each formula can be well-tolerated by the widest range of skin types without unwanted side effects. Even more, these serums’ results are validated through independent professional and physician-led studies, as well as assessments from real patients.
The importance of ingredient synergy
Vitamin C may take center stage in SkinCeuticals’ antioxidant serums, but teamwork makes the dream work. Additional ingredients such as vitamin E and ferulic acid play crucial supporting roles, and when formulated properly, specific ingredients work synergistically to provide superior antioxidant protection and optimize stability. These unique combinations also allow SkinCeuticals to tailor their vitamin C serums for different skin types and concerns.
