A guide to Vitamin C

A guide to Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a cornerstone of effective skincare, loved for its ability to illuminate, protect, and rejuvenate. Whether you’re looking to address uneven skin tone, reduce fine lines, or defend against environmental stress, Vitamin C is an ingredient that truly delivers. No matter whether you’re a seasoned skincare enthusiast or just starting your journey, incorporating this potent antioxidant into your routine can make a transformative difference.

What Makes Vitamin C Essential for a Youthful Skin?

  1. Defends Against Free Radicals
    Environmental aggressors like pollution and UV radiation can accelerate skin ageing. Vitamin C neutralises these harmful effects, helping to keep skin healthier for longer.
  2. Stimulates Collagen Production
    By boosting collagen synthesis, Vitamin C restores elasticity and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and firms the skin.
  3. Brightens and Evens Skin Tone
    It fades dark spots,  balances hyperpigmentation and promotes an even, radiant complexion.
  4. Enhances Skin Protection
    While not a substitute for sunscreen, Vitamin C supports your SPF by providing an extra layer of antioxidant defence.

Choosing the Right Vitamin C Formulation

Not all Vitamin C products are created equal. Here's what to look for:

  • Stable Form: Pure L-Ascorbic Acid is highly effective but depending on the formulation, packaging and storage conditions it can oxidise fast and lose its potency. In addition, it can be irritating in high concentrations.
  • Optimal Concentration: Products with 10%-20% Vitamin C strike a balance between potency and tolerability.
  • Complementary Ingredients: Ingredients like Vitamin E and ferulic acid enhance Vitamin C’s stability and effectiveness.

How Nobelox MD Does Vitamin C Differently

Vitamin C in its pure form, it’s an ingredient prone to rapid oxidation we have many products on the market that have compromised effectiveness. We’ve elevated our Vitamin C offering by focusing on bioavailability and biocompatibility.  

This is achieved by formulating with two stable and effective derivatives of Vitamin C, integrated into a unique waterless system. This combination protects the integrity of Vitamin C, preventing oxidation and ensuring optimal biocompatibility with the skin, thereby minimising the chances of irritation. Our specialised formulation guarantees consistent results, from the first application to the very last.

Incorporating Vitamin C Into Your Routine

  1. When to Use It: Apply in the morning after cleansing and before moisturising. Always follow with SPF for maximum protection.
  2. What to Combine It With: Pair with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture and soothe the skin.

Conclusion: Unlock Radiance with Vitamin C
