Light E+C Serum

A light texture emulsion based on a combination of active vitamins E and C. The serum contains a special active form of vitamin C, VC-IP, showing a better efficacy than the simple molecule of vitamin C (ascorbic acid). It is also much more stable and is not oxidized easily like ascorbic acid. This molecule penetrates the skin much better than the simple form of vitamin C. Many experiments and clinical studies demonstrated that VC-IP is a strong antioxidant effective in skin lightening and in the reduction of skin damage following exposure to UV light. It was also demonstrated that VCIP increases the synthesis of collagen in the skin and inhibits the MMP enzymes. These enzymes are active in the degradation of collagen, elastin and other structural proteins in the dermis, the major factor in the formation of wrinkles. Vitamin E has many beneficial effects on the skin: it increases the level of moisture in the The Stratum Corneum (Latin for ‘horny layer’) of the epidermis, it has skin calming effects and decreases the damage to the skin following exposure to UV irradiation. Vitamin E is a strong anti-oxidant protecting the skin cells from free radicals.
