Product Description
100% Pure Vitamin C Serum is a lightweight, stabilized vitamin C serum that helps firm and brighten skin tone while promoting collagen production, and deeply hydrates skin with soothing aloe. Includes radiance-boosting green apple and grape, plus alpha lipoic acid (ALA) for fighting oxidative damage that can prematurely age or darken the skin.
I am always excited about using 100% Pure products and my most recent 100% Pure product was their Jelly Cleanser which I grew to love it.
Packaging, Scent and Texture
100% Pure Vitamin C Serum is housed in a 30ml amber-coloured glass bottle with a pump dispenser and a clear cap. The cleared colour serum has a lightweight texture, a cooling sensation and a naturally occurring scent. It is lightweight and glides easily on skin.
How To Use :
1) Apply a dime sized amount after cleansing and before moisturizing.
2) Gently press into damp skin of face and neck.
note : Most effective when used in PM. Always layer under an SPF when applying during the day.
Performance and Ingredients
Research suggests that when vitamin C penetrates the skin, it protects and improves it in various ways.
It is an antioxidant, so it can neutralize damaging molecules called free radicals, which accelerate signs of aging.
Vitamin C can also stimulate the skin’s production of collagen, a protein that increases skin firmness and elasticity and helps keep it plump and hydrated. Because of this, using a powerful, stable vitamin C serum consistently over time can help smooth out the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Finally, vitamin C can brighten dark spots because it inhibits an enzyme called tyrosinase that causes skin discoloration. Although there has been little research on how effectively vitamin C does this, one small study published in 1996 found that vitamin C reduced the appearance of dark skin patches or age-related freckles in 19 out of 34 people who used it.
Cruelty-free, vegan and gluten-free, 100% Pure Vitamin C Serum contains 2% concentration of Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, a high quality form of Vitamin C which is more stable as well as Vitamin E and Vitamin B5 to plump skin, improve elasticity and slough off dead cells for a brighter, healthier glow.
Always keep an eye on the colour of the serum which should be very light and almost clear. Over time it will start to darken as it oxidises, much like a slice apple. If the serum has turned brown, do not use it. As such, I prefer to keep any Vitamin C serums in the fridge after a bad incident of a new Vitamin C serum which had darken considerably when kept in my drawer.
100% Pure Vitamin C Serum is a gentle product with a lightweight texture and a slight tackiness. Once absorbed, my skin is much softer and smoother. I started to see a subtle improvement to the pigmentation spots on my cheeks after 2 months of nightly use.
Do note that the PAO is 6 months which means that you need to empty the serum in 6 months after opening it.
