Vitamin C Serum 20% Pure L-Ascorbic Acid, Ferulic Acid, Vitamin E and Hyaluronic Acid for Face and Eyes 1oz. by Dr. Brenner

Product Information

It’s a little helper ingredient that helps to set the pH of a cosmetic formulation to be just right.

Brenner describes it, this Vitamin C serum is “the most effective Vitamin C serum developed by dermatologists”. It is derived from the fatty alcohol lauryl alcohol by ethoxylating it and thus making the molecule a lot more water-soluble. SkinCeuticals does not reveal the percentage of sodium hyaluronate included in its formula, so in this regard, Dr. In fact, too many fussy ingredients can potentially compromise vitamin C stability, defeating the purpose of the whole serum.Keep in mind, none of the dupes listed will have the exact same formulation as Skinceuticals due to the patent.

There seem to have a synergetic effect of ferulic acid, vitamin E and C, meaning that when the ingredients are used together, they enhance each other's ability protect the skin against free radicals. Once you’ve made a habit of using the vitamin C serum in the morning, you can also use it in the evening now and again for a nice boost for the skin. Brenner’s Vitamin C Serum is more potent, containing 5 percent more pure L-ascorbic acid than SkinCeuticals’ serum. We see a yellow hue starting to come in more for all serums and you can smell the “hot dog water” scent more.Our lightweight, powerful, and pure Vitamin C serum with hyaluronic acid work together with Vitamin E and Ferulic acid to leave your skin bright and healthy. A nice odorless liquid used mainly as a superior solubilizer and efficacy booster for cosmetic active ingredients such as vitamin C or benzoyl peroxide. It’s often used together with ethylhexylglycerin as it nicely improves the preservative activity of phenoxyethanol.

But to be on the safe side, if you see Triethanolamine in an INCI and also something with nitra, nitro in the name of it just skip the product, that cannot hurt. INCREASES SKIN FIRMNESS AND REDUCES THE APPEARANCE OF LINES AND WRINKLES: Our CE Ferulic serum boosts collagen production in your skin to help even it out. This retailed at about 4k and I didn’t mind the markup but sadly, it came to me completely oxidized – almost rotten.Given that, I think Skinceutical's does a better job protecting the product until it gets to the consumer's home given the paper casing.
