There are many factors responsible for changing the way our skin looks and feels. Factors may include unhealthy lifestyle choices, smoking, stress, age, time, diet, or environmental pollutants. Either factors or a combination of these factors result in a loss of collagen protein, inadequate hydration levels, photo damage, pigmentation, erythma, or formation of lines and wrinkles which can dramatically lead to signs of damage and aging skin.
Our scientific expert team of chemists’ had conducted countless hours of research and testing in order to select the proper combination of antioxidants and vitamins to effectively restore essential nutrients to the skin. The most effective and proven form of vitamin C is L-ascorbic acid. This is used primarily as a potent antioxidant, when in combination with co-antioxidants, will provide an increased level in overall performance benefits of each ingredient within our Advanced Formula + series.

Scientific Evidence of Topical Vitamin C and antioxidants
Our collection of antioxidant serums contains high amounts of the Vitamin C in its L-Ascorbic acid molecular form. L-Ascorbic acid is the most common and useful form of Vitamin C and is most effective in stimulating collagen synthesis and providing protection against ultraviolet sunlight. This form of Vitamin C in its acidic form has been backed by reliable scientific evidence confirming its effectiveness as a topical agent.
