Information from the brandProduct description
Product code: 47281557
Vitamin C (also known as L-Ascorbic Acid) is an effective, multifunctional antioxidant. It targets the appearance of uneven skin tone, dullness and signs of ageing.
This formula incorporates a 23% concentration of L-Ascorbic Acid powder in a water-free and silicone-free suspension. With such a format, a strong yet non-irritating tingling is expected to be felt upon application temporarily during the first 1-2 weeks of use until the skin's tolerance to such a high exposure is elevated.
The format of this formula is a suspension of very fine L-Ascorbic Acid powder, providing direct exposure of high concentrations of Vitamin C topically. With such a format, there are 2 important things to consider:
- 1. A non-irritating tingling 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. This formula feels gritty for a few seconds after application. If you prefer to avoid this gritty feel, we suggest our Vitamin C Suspension 30% in Silicone.E520 Apply a small amount to face in the AM or the PM. A slight tingling sensation can be expected after application
