% Of Vitamin C Used
The version of Vitamin C we use, Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate has a much lower usage rate than ascorbic acid. We use 2% as advised by our suppliers. We have also carried out in vitro testing against a competitor product to ensure the efficacy of our formulation.
The Results
Radiant C Serum underwent testing at Shannon Applied Biotechnology Centre to assess its effects on the skin, with a focus on how it acts as an antioxidant and how it boosts collagen production. The results show that when compared to skin cells without any treatment, Radiant C Serum protects the outer skin cells against oxidation which can cause damage in the cells and speed up the ageing process.
Additionally, the data shows that Radiant C Serum encouraged the production of collagen in the inner skin cells. At a concentration of 1 mg/mL, there was a 25% increase in collagen. Collagen is important for keeping the skin firm and elastic. When it breaks down, it can lead to fine lines and wrinkles as a part of the ageing process.
