Is Pure vitamin C the best?
There are those who say vitamin C serum in its purest form is the most effective. Ingredient lists show this size of unstabilized vi-ta-min C as “ascorbic acid” or “l-ascorbic acid.” However, that’s not necessarily the case because it has such a short shelf life.
Pure vitamin C is easily destabilized by light & oxygen. You can take precautions to prevent that from happening, such as keeping it in a dark bottle & keeping it sealed tight in a cool place away from light, but no matter how well you store pure vi-ta-min C, its effectiveness actually naturally drops after about a month. You’ll know when it is no longer effective when your formula turns an ugly brown color.
On the flip side, vitamin C that has been stabilized ( i.e. “Ascorbyl Methylsilanol Pectinate” or “Ascorbyl Palmitate” on the ingredients list) has a longer shelf life of about two years, và it doesn’t have lớn be stored in a dark bottle.
Some say that stabilized vi-ta-min C is not as effective, but in my opinion, stabilized vitamin C is just as effective as the pure form simply because of advances in skin care technology and R&D.
I’ve spoken with research and development skin care specialists in Korea, & they echo my sentiments. There are also tons of studies that show vi-ta-min C in a stabilized size is just as beneficial.
And gọi me old-fashioned, but I lượt thích it when my products last longer than a month. That’s a lot of serious wastage if you have lớn buy yourself a new bottle of serum every month when you’re not even halfway done with it.
What concentration of vitamin C is the most effective?
A lot of skin care products now contain vitamin C. Studies show anything from 1% to lớn 20% is effective, so don’t think that only concentrations in the double digits are effective! A general rule of thumb: The higher the concentration, the more likely it will cause sensitivity. Vi-ta-min C at 20% has caused my usually non-sensitive skin to react with a stinging sensation & irritation. I’m a firm believer that if your skin is irritated or red, your skin is trying to tell you that it doesn’t like. Beating your skin into submission is a bit counterintuitive, don’t you think?
Now you know a little bit more about vitamin C, let me introduce you khổng lồ my vi-ta-min C pick & why it’s in my current skin care routine: Klairs Freshly Juiced Drop vi-ta-min C Serum.
It’s second ingredient is ascorbic acid, aka pure vitamin C, but thanks to lớn the latest Korean skin care technology, the formula is more stable and has a longer shelf life. That’s why it’s kept in this pretty clear bottle…
The concentration of vi-ta-min C is at 5%, which is gentle enough for sensitive skin. If you’re new lớn Vitamin C serums, this one is a great one to lớn start with.
When I use it, I can feel my skin feel a little bit of the warmth of the vitamin C serum soaking into my skin. It causes no irritation, which is great because if my skin is happy, I’m happy.
The results I’ve seen are something lớn brag about. I’ve consistently focused on the pigmentation around my cheekbones & chin. It has really done a great job fading the acne discolorations around my chin & brightening the brown spots every week I kiểm tra in.
And because I’m all about getting khổng lồ the root of my skin issues, I love knowing that I’m preventing pigmentation from the get-go.
How I use the Klairs Freshly Juiced Drop vi-ta-min C Serum
At night, I use it after cleansing, toning, and essence. I apply it directly onto my skin, then finish off my routine with my eye cream và moisturizer. The texture is slightly oily & even feels lượt thích a bit warm as it absorbs quickly & finished off matte on my skin.
In the mornings I địa chỉ about 1-2 drops into my moisturizer. It really depends on my mood & what my skin is up khổng lồ that day.
And because price undoubtedly matters, I finish off this đánh giá by raving about the price. I really can’t believe it"s only $23 for this amazing serum. This is Korean affordable skin care at its best và I can’t wait for you to include it in your regime!
Your reviews
"I was on the fence about incorporating a vi-ta-min C serum into my regimen because I have CRAZY sensitive skin. But I"ve been gradually increasing & tweaking my K-beauty routine over the past 5-6 months & decided to give this a try. My skin has reacted very well to lớn it so far. I have noticed a subtle brightening in my skin & have experienced zero irritation or breakouts. I have been mixing 2-3 drops in my moisturizer twice daily, which I think helps further reduce the potential for irritation. On the whole, great product!" - Lashlee D."I bought this because I read so many nhận xét saying that it has really helped with acne scars. Not only are my scars getting lighter, it helped with my “angry” acne. After 3 days of use (once in the morning và once at night), my “angry” acne calmed down và went away. My makeup goes on a lot smoother & looks way better. I really love how soft & cool my skin feels after I apply this serum. It’s also a really nice price that fits into my budget!" - Precious L."This has become a staple in my routine. I"ve been burned (literally) before by other vitamin c products, but this has never given me issues và does a really good job at brightening and fading dark spots." - Gabrielle F.
