Benefits of Vitamin C Serum + E Ferulic Acid

Vitamin C serum has enhanced benefits when combined with vitamin E and Ferulic acid. Some of the benefits of using a 20% Vitamin C + E Ferulic Acid Serum:

Anti-Aging

When applied this serum to the skin, It can help trigger the production of collagen, a protein that helps keep the skin smooth and firm.  With continuous exposure to the sun and the damaging effects of free radicals (unstable atoms within the cells), our skin loses collagen and other necessary proteins, which contribute to wrinkles, thinning of the skin, and fine lines and pronounced wrinkles. Vit-C can help the body make more collagen, which can make fine lines and wrinkles look less noticeable.

Brightening

Vit-C is also known for its ability to brighten the face by making dark spots and hyperpigmentation less noticeable. This is because vitamin C can help stop melanin, the pigment that gives our skin its color, from being made. The combined active ingredients of the Vitamin C+E Ferulic Acid Serum are effective in achieving desired brightening skin results.

Protection

Ferulic acid, Vitamin C, and E are potent ingredients that can protect the skin from free radicals, which can damage cells. Pollution, UV rays, and cigarette smoke are all environmental stressors that can be overcome with an effective vitamin C. 

Hydration

A good moisture barrier keeps water from leaving the skin, which can cause it to become dry and thirsty. Vit-C can strengthen the skin barrier for improved function to maintain the skin’s overall balance.
