L-ASCORBIC ACID: THE GOLD STANDARD IN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Synthetically derived or found naturally in fruits and vegetables, vitamin C (l-ascorbic acid) is lauded for its powerful antioxidant benefits. In its pure form, it helps neutralise free radicals to protect against oxidative stress and provides visible anti-aging benefits. Suitable for all skin types, SkinCeuticals vitamin C antioxidants are strictly formulated for enhanced efficacy, absorption, and stability.

Growing research shows a causative link between oil oxidation and the formation of blemishes. When skin’s oils oxidise, this specific type of free radical damage can cause a cycle of inflammation and bacteria that is linked to blemish formation. Daily environmental aggressors like sun and pollution can generate free radicals that further oxidise skin oils.

Silymarin CF is clinically demonstrated to reduce oil oxidation by up to 76%.

This combination antioxidant serum is formulated under the Duke Antioxidant patent. Vitamin C is a highly potent antioxidant that by its structure has difficulty being effectively absorbed by skin. The Duke Antioxidant patent outlines the formulation parameters required for effective delivery of vitamin C to skin: 1) pure l-ascorbic acid (vitamin c); 2) an acidic pH within the 2.0-3.5 pH range and; 3) a concentration between 10-20%. SkinCeuticals is the only brand to formulate antioxidants according to these parameters.
