Anti Aging C-Serum
This innovative formula contains a high percentage of BV-OSC®, Vitazyme® A Plus, and a synergistic blend of plant extracts, liposomes, and amino acids. Because of its intense hydration, this product is recommended for more mature or dry skin.
Vitamin C has been shown to be one the best anti-aging products for the skin, but unfortunately it is a highly unstable molecule that loses its efficacy when exposed to light or heat. For this reason, many of the vitamin C products on the market (including those in high-end retail stores) might be doing more damage than good. BV-OSC® is a patented, stabilized form of vitamin C that have been shown in clinical trials to offer the following benefits:
- Reduces melanin synthesis by 80%
- Increases collagen synthesis by 50%
- Delivers vitamin C to cells 50x better than ascorbic acid (once inside the cell, it breaks down into ascorbic acid)
- Increases collagen synthesis at least twice as much as ascorbic acid
- Penetrates the skin four times better than magnesium ascorbyl phosphate (a stable precursor of vitamin C used in other cosmetic products)
- Unlike other forms of vitamin C, it has great stability in mixtures and formulas
- Protects against cell damage better than any other vitamin C derivative tested and is more stable than any other form tested
- Works synergistically with other anti-oxidants such as vitamin A and amino acids, both of which are contained in this innovative formula
- Effective lightening of UV-induced pigmentation as well as brightening and evening of the skin tone
- Superior antioxidant and anti-aging properties
- Effective lightening of age spots
- Helps prevent and treat blemishes
