Addition of serums to your skincare regimen is an effective way of targeting specific skin issues, but how can you select one suitable for you?
Ferulic acid and Deschampsia antarctica extract has been shown to significantly decrease transepidermal water loss, providing ample hydration to the skin. Furthermore, this anti-pollution ingredient also boosts collagen synthesis for healthier looking skin and is an anti-pollution remedy.
Hydration
Vitamin-enriched serums provide many benefits when applied topically. Not only can they soothe and soften skin, but they can also reduce hyperpigmentation. Vitamin C has been proven to prevent melanin production thus diminishing dark spots and uneven skin tones.
Niacinamide combined with Hyaluronic Acid creates a lightweight serum designed to maximize hydration levels. Used morning and night, this product helps brighten and even out skintone, as well as guarding against free-radical damage.
Quench is unique in that it uses an exceptionally stable and water-soluble form of Vitamin C called Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Stay C-50(r). Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate won’t oxidize during its shelf life and remains effective up until opened; additionally, its smaller molecular size allows it to penetrate skin deeper for added hydration; in fact, recent research demonstrated this with Ferulic Acid + Vitamin C combined reducing Trans-Epidermal Water Loss by 19%!
Brightening
Vitamin-rich serums offer several key advantages, including brightening and evening out the complexion while diminishing discoloration. Furthermore, these serums may help with other complexion concerns like rough texture, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation.
This daily use serum features 10% stabilized Vitamin C to effectively diminish dark spots, uneven skin tone and fine lines; plus hyaluronic acid for hydration. The non-comedogenic, oil-free formula is suitable for all skin types; high concentration (15%) serums contain L-ascorbic acid which oxidises quickly; it’s important that products kept cold and stored away from AHAs or BHAs that could potentially cause irritation.
This high-potency clear serum features a time-released Ascorbate blend of Arbutin and Bearberry to increase radiance and visibly minimize dark spots while improving skin elasticity, texture, tone and elasticity. In addition, biocompatible antioxidants ferulic acid and vitamin E provide immediate and long-term anti-aging protection.
Anti-Aging
Vitamin C serum contains antioxidants which can provide protection from environmental stresses and sun damage that lead to visible signs of aging, including fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, dryness and loss of elasticity.
Give your skin an daily dose of antioxidants with this vitamin C serum! Its concentrated formula boasts a high percentage of 3-O-ethyl l-ascorbic acid – a more stable form of vitamin C – as well as ferulic acid to stimulate collagen production and give your complexion an more radiant look.
This serum also includes niacinamide, an anti-inflammatory that can help diminish dark spots and other hyperpigmentation. For optimal results, use it twice a day — one each morning and evening — after cleansing and toning your face, before applying moisturizer (if desired). Remember to apply all products from thinnest consistency upwards so your skin can fully benefit from each one.
Hyperpigmentation
Vitamin C is an extremely effective brightener that can reduce pigmentation spots and dullness for a more vibrant glow. Furthermore, melanin production may be inhibited, helping fade sunspots, age spots, or melasma spots more effectively.
Because vitamin C is such an extrovert, it easily joins forces with other skincare ingredients like niacinamide, ferulic acid and alpha hydroxy acids to form powerful pigmentation-reducing combinations. Furthermore, SPF provides UV protection which is crucial to protecting against hyperpigmentation and other signs of sun damage.
Look for a serum with high concentrations of active vitamin C (ascorbic acid), magnesium ascorbyl phosphate or deschampsia antarctica extract to provide enhanced glow for your skin. A 2022 review discovered that such serums helped decrease transepidermal water loss to keep skin hydrated, giving an added glow and enhanced appearance.
