Vitamin C, what are the benefits in care?
- An excellent antioxidant and sunscreen booster - vitamin C fights the damage caused by free radicals, and also helps strengthen the action of the sunscreen. Therefore, it is highly recommended in the morning under the sunscreen.
- Encourages the creation of collagen in the skin and thus prevents wrinkles and helps keep the skin moist.
- Brightener - good for lightening pigmentation and also prevention!
As you've seen, vitamin C is definitely a star when it comes to skincare, but "with great power comes great responsibility" (did you know that's even a quote from Spider-Man?!). Vitamin C is very unstable, and can oxidize quickly. That is why it is important to choose a stable vitamin C derivative or with a combination of stabilizing ingredients such as vitamin e and ferulic acid, and to note that the vitamin C is not brown in color (that is, it has oxidized and lost its effectiveness). In addition, vitamin C can be too irritating, especially for those with sensitive skin.
After we understood what vitamin C is and why it's good, we'll talk about Wistrand's serum.
What does it contain?
- 2 different derivatives of vitamin C
- Ferulic acid
- Vitamin E
- Niacinamide
fragrance-free, essential oils or alcohol.
The combination of vitamin C with ferulic acid and vitamin e is a winning combination, because ferulic acid and vitamin e stabilize vitamin C, and prevent oxidation. In addition, together these ingredients strengthen the amount of protection from the sun!
And the very fact that they put niacinamide in the serum makes it perfect for me, because of all the benefits of niacinamide - helps to maintain the skin barrier, treats acne, redness, rosacea, balances oil production in the skin, brightens, and blurs the appearance of pores.
The serum is slightly greasy, gives glow and moisture, and is easily absorbed.
My experience:
When I started with this serum I used an excessive amount without knowing that I was irritating the skin too much. After a week I got a terrible and painful burn on my cheek, and it took me a few days to restore the skin.
After my skin returned to normal, I plucked up the courage again and went back to using it, this time with just a few drops. This way I didn't get irritations and I also saw results.
I really liked the effect it had on my skin (when used correctly, of course) - very quickly the skin became brighter, more radiant, and looked healthier.
It is very economical because you only need to use a few drops.
Totally recommend it, as long as you are careful and use it responsibly ๐
