Description
A powerful anti-oxidant serum that hydrates, repairs the visible signs of aging and protects the skin against further damage.
The Anti-oxidant Vitamins: C (L-Ascorbic Acid – 16%), E (Tocopherol – 1%) and Ferulic Acid (0.5%) combine in their most potent forms to repair and prevent the appearance of aging including fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation and skin roughness. For skin repair, protection and moisturising of dry and normal skin.
Vitamin C is a highly effective anti-oxidant with evidence for increasing collagen production, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, reducing pigmentation and sun damage. It is however naturally unstable. When Vitamin E is added, this helps stabilise Vitamin C and therefore increase its effectiveness. The addition of Ferulic acid (which is itself unstable) further stabilises the mix and increases its effectiveness. The possible downside of this last addition is the introduction of a scent (sometimes described as smoky). If you do smell it, it will pass quickly especially once another product (eg. sunscreen) is applied.

Evidence
L-Ascorbic Acid
An anti-oxidant, effective improving protection from and repair of sun induced premature aging. It reduces wrinkles, fine lines, skin roughness and pigmentation3. L-Ascorbic acid is naturally unstable and must be formulated in an oil base in order to delay oxidisation.
Emerging evidence
Ferulic Acid
Ferulic acid’s emerging evidence suggests it can stimulate more skin cells, fibroblasts, collagen and elastin, improve the effectiveness of Vitamin C and help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
