Description
Product description
Institut Esthederm spent 20 years developing the patented technology to allow them to deliver a highly concentrated (15%) stable dose of notoriously reactive vitamin C in this serum. The innovative formulation means the vitamin C is trapped in silica balls which immediately melt into the skin when applied to tackle dark spots, wrinkles & loss of firmness while delivering some serious free radical protection. Collagen synthesis is also stimulated, so skin feels firmer, more supple & radiant.
Why it's cult
Institut Esthederm specialise in focusing their products on around a 'hero' ingredient - in this case vitamin C - & concentrating the formula to maximise its efficacy. It works 3 levels: synthesis of collagen, slowing down pigmentation & fighting the harmful effects of free radicals. Vitamin C is well recognised for improving skintone and for its antioxidant, immunity-stimulating & protective properties, its instability means usually only small amounts are used, but not this Vitamin C serum!
