Description
Vitamin C is typically referred to as an antioxidant – especially in the combination with Vitamin E – and as an essential substance for collagen synthesis2. In addition, several studies showed that STAY-C® 50 is an active principle for a lot more effects not only for skin but also for hair, teeth and gum.
STAY-C® 50 – for visibly younger looking skin
Photo-damage of skin including premature skin aging is to a large extent caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Their generation and also the quenching of ROS in living skin can be quantified and visualized. UV filters already protect against UV-induced ROS generation.
However this first line of defense is not complete. In vivo antioxidants STAY-C® 50 and Vitamin E acetate were shown to provide an additional quenching effect of ROS of almost 50% to a standard sunscreen formulation of SPF 8 (figure 2)3.
Directions:
Apply in the morning on dry skin after cleansing and toning. Allow serum to absorb then follow with Hydralift or Aquasense.
