Product Information

Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.

Brenner’s and SkinCeuticals’s products: ethoxydiglycol, glycerin, triethanolamine, laureth-23, and phenoxyethanol.It could also be because they are worried about the potential for ascorbic acid to oxidize in the presence of water. However, the inclusion of a high percentage of hyaluronic acid (1%) (compared to the unstated percentage in SkinCeuticals) may help offset that irritation, while delivering the brightening effects of this active ingredient. You can also use it twice per day if desired, but be sure to follow up with a moisturizer and sunscreen during the day. Other than that it can also be used in hair care products where it gives a longer-lasting and more uniform coloring. Hyaluronic acid has a rich list of benefits but perhaps what it’s mostly known for is its ability to moisturize the skin and protect it against dryness.

It doesn’t feature ferulic acid in the ingredients but boy is this potent — it lightens my hyperpigmentation like nothing else and it’s pleasant and easy to use all year round. And I’ve also written about the best vitamin C alternatives for sensitive skin, if you happen to be too sensitive to handle pure l-ascorbic acid. I’ve also tried and done a Naturium Vitamin C Super Serum review and exposed the truth regarding the controversy surrounding the product.

Despite this formula’s more rapid degradation and sputtering (where formula jets out when pumping), we would still pass this formula. A skincare brand that offers affordable, effective products that are specially formulated to nourish and protect the skin's natural barrier.

The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.

It naturally occurs in our skin’s oil (the sebum), which acts as a natural shield that moisturizes the body. The visitor of this web site acknowledges that the information avaiable on or through the ewellnessmag. Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients. However, the lack of lab testing doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t invest in a product, as 99% of skincare products do not undergo any testing for results. It comes in a dropper bottle, which is not ideal, considering that vitamin C degrades every time you open the bottle.
