It can be … How To: Even Out Your Skin Tone common skincare challenge many people are faced with is uneven skin …Over recent years, a glance at the ingredients on the back of my face cream has left me wishing I’d done a PhD in chemistry — all those AHAs, nanoparticles and pentapeptides. But some good news from the beauty world is that the latest wonder ingredient is something we all know and love. Good old vitamin C.Look down the beauty aisle of any department store and you’ll see three new products from Origins, Kiehl’s and StriVectin-EV, which feature the old favourite as their key ingredient.
Other brands such as Sisley, Vichy, Environ and Philosophy also have vitamin C-based formulas. Vitamin C: The latest wonder ingredient The beauty industry has long known that vitamin C — in food and cream form — is vital for good skin. The nutrient helps form collagen and elastin (essential to keep the skin looking plump, taut and young) as well as acting as an antioxidant to protect us from the harsh effects of the environment, such as UV rays, pollution and a bad diet. In recent years, lowly vitamin C has been left in the shadows as cosmetic companies embarked on a rush to find new (often unpronouncable) ingredients — the likes of acai, glycans and hyaluronic acid. ‘Yet new technology means we can harness vitamin C in new, more targeted ways — specifically in terms of tackling fine lines and pigmentation,’ says Gillian Barclay from Kiehl’s.Indeed, dermatologists have discovered that vitamin C is one of the best ingredients to tackle dark spots. It not only brightens the skin but also inhibits the production of tyrosinase, an enzyme that creates pigmentation.
In their Clearly Corrective Dark Spots Solution (£36), Kiehl's use a new faster acting version of vitamin C Scientists have also found that vitamin C is not only an essential building block of skin-plumping collagen and elastin, but it actually kick-starts the body into producing more of these proteins — making it a potent anti-ager. The problem in the past has been that it’s hard to use vitamin C at doses high enough to make a difference because it had a tendency to oxidise — in other words, go off and stop working — after contact with air. The new generation of vitamin C products have overcome this problem. In their Clearly Corrective Dark Spots Solution (£36), Kiehl’s use a new faster acting version of vitamin C — called Activated C — which is easier for the skin to absorb. It is also ‘photo stable’, meaning it doesn’t stop working the moment it is exposed to air and sunlight.Meanwhile, Origins’ new skin-brightener, Mega-Bright (£46), uses a rose called Rosa Roxburghii, which is dubbed ‘the king of vitamin C’ and has been part of traditional medicine for centuries.
Clinique’s latest anti-ager, Repairwear Uplifting Firming Cream (£50), also contains vitamin C in a very potent form.Would a daily vitamin pill do the job just as well? Not according to dermatologist Dr Sam Bunting, who says: ‘Studies show we can’t increase the amount of vitamin C in our skin simply through diet. Sunlight and pollution deplete the skin’s vitamin C supply, so it makes sense to deliver it topically.’But Dr Bunting warns that not all vitamin C creams are equal. ‘I would recommend a serum that contains at least 10 per cent vitamin C, such as Skinceuticals C E Ferulic Serum (£85), and make sure it hasn’t discoloured — a sign that it has become oxidised and is no longer effective. L’Occitane Immortelle Brightening Moisture Cream (£36) is a great everyday moisturiser; as is Vichy Normaderm Anti-Age (£15). StriVectin-EV Get Even Spot Repair (£45) is great for targeting specific dark spots. If your skin is sensitive, experts warn you may experience stinging or irritation with products containing the water-soluble form of vitamin C, called L-Ascorbic acid, so do a patch test first.
But for most of us it seems our skin would benefit from a vitamin boost.I ran out of my OST C20 a couple of weeks ago, and have been debating DIY vs rebuying, or at least buying a different Vitamin C serum to tide me over. Now, I'm not a chemist - taking a couple of chemistry classes in college does not a chemist make - but I did do some research into Vitamin C, and what I've found is kind of upsetting. Water, Ascorbic Acid, Ethanol, Sodium Lactate, Butylene Glycol, Glucose, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Rosa Davurica Bud Extract, Carthamus Tinctorius Flower Extract, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Sodium Hyaluronate, Bis-PEG-18, Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane, Diethoxyethyl Succinate, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Xanthan, PEG-180, Gluconolactone, Beta-Glucan, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Oil, Zinc PCA, Panthenol, Niacinamide, Glycerin, Tocopherol Acetate, Lecithin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Ubiquinone, Diisopropyl Adipate, Phenoxyethanol The most notable ingredient in here is obviously Ascorbic Acid, aka Vitamin C, although I will refer to it as L-AA (L-Ascorbic Acid) for the rest of this post.
L-AA is kind of a superstar active that I think pretty much everyone should be using. It's a powerful antioxidant whose functions include stimulating collagen production, fading hyperpigmentation, scavenging free radicals, and boosting sun protection. Because L-AA requires a low pH to be effective, it also has a mild exfoliating effect (it's also an AHA). Seriously, it's just amazing. It's also one of the most well researched actives in skincare. Not hard to believe, as anything that can do all that and more will make money. And make money it does. It makes sense why OST skyrocketed into being one of the bestselling products in the Korean beauty market. A $20 (~$15-$25ish) product compared to $50, or even $150? To summarize, there are a few things about Vitamin C that are pretty important: L-AA is highly unstable, oxidizing rapidly from light, oxygen, and temperature. This is addressed by companies by packaging it in a dark or opaque bottle, and advising consumers to store it in the refrigerator or in a cool, dark space.
Do not use Vitamin C serums that have oxidized. Oxidized Vitamin C is a pro-oxidant. At best, it's biologically inactive and does nothing for you, and at worst will damage/age your skin. There are some ingredients that work well with L-AA. Vitamin E (aka Tocopherol or Tocopherol Acetate) is the John Watson to L-AA's Sherlock. They're great by themselves, but even better together (synergy). Adding Vitamin E to an L-AA serum, among other things, keeps it from oxidizing for longer. Ferulic Acid, another powerful antioxidant, can stabilize a Vitamin C+E solution and makes it eight times(!!!) more photoprotective. Sodium Lactate is a humectant with some antimicrobial properties. It is listed in some places as being able to enhance Vitamin C's skin lightening properties, although there doesn't seem to be much research on it. On the other hand, there are a couple of things that do not play well with L-AA. Sodium Benzoate is a common preservative, but when combined with L-AA, can form benzene, a carcinogenic compound.
Niacinamide, aka Vitamin B3, is a great active, but when combined with L-AA, renders both of them useless - or in presence of UV, can be pro-oxidative. Some other controversial ingredients include green tea extract and copper peptides. Also, just because you cannot see damage does not mean damage is not being done. Despite being so fickle, L-AA is also the most commonly used Vitamin C vitamer because it is most effective, outperforming MAP and ATIP. badirreversible damage to your skin, omg Hippophae Rhamnoides Water, Ascorbic Acid, Sodium Lactate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Panthenol, Cassia Obtusifolia Seed Extract, Allantoin, Xanthan Gum, Ethyl HexanediolThis isn't the new C20? This is a different product? They're still selling the other one as well? This one costs more? They dropped the Vitamin E?I'm not asking for much, y'all. I want L-AA, between 15-20%, with a drop of Vitamin E, a smaller drop of Ferulic Acid, and some stuff that's not going to hurt my skin.
