Gold Vitamin C x 3 1 oz.
The BEST VItamin C Serum on the market!!! Ascorbic Acid, Gold, Glutathione; our newest Ascorbic acid delivery system serves to improve the stability of ascorbic acid, and extends the lifespan of ascorbic acid in the skin. Additionally, glutathione is a precursor to ascorbic acid, so it regenerates ascorbic acid as it is used up by our skin. This results in an effective delivery system that far outperforms any % of free ascorbic acid or other ascorbic acid derivatives. Also, with regular ascorbic acid, it becomes a pro-oxidant as it gets oxidized- essentially meaning that it may in fact donate free radicals back. The glutathione conjugation prevents this from ever becoming a pro-oxidant. So, not only do we get a huge increase in efficacy, but the product retains its efficacy over time. Additionally, with free ascorbic acid, only about 30% of whatever we apply topically will penetrate the skin in its effective state. With the conjugation system, 100% of the ascorbic acid penetrates. So, with a 15% vitamin C serum, on the very first day that you use it (before it’s oxidized by 90% in one week), you’re only getting about 4.5% ascorbic acid that actually penetrates the skin in its active form. With the conjugated ascorbic acid, 100% of the applied ascorbic acid content will be bioavailable to the skin.
Key Ingredients
Ascorbic Acid, Gold, Glutathione;– Ascorbic acid complex is designed to keep ascorbic acid 100% stable over time and increase the penetration of vitamin C into the skin. By conjugating ascorbic acid to gold, its bioavailability is increased drastically, and glutathione (a vitamin C precursor) helps to replenish ascorbic acid as it’s broken down.
Gold (Acetyl Heptapeptide-9, Gold) – A collagen boosting peptide for an anti-wrinkle effect. The peptide is bound to gold to extend the bioactivity of the peptide from 30 minutes to 36 hours.
Terminalia Ferdinandiana (Kakadu Plum) Fruit Extract – Extract from Kakadu plum, which contains the world’s highest source of Vitamin C. Studies on this active have shown that it also stimulates the transport of Vitamin C into the skin and boosts collagen synthesis.
Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract - Collagen boosting and marine biofermented to improve hydration and barrier function, protect skin from blue light pollution, and provide skin with a natural glow.
