Cipla vitamin c serum

Vitamins such as A, C and E are naturally present in human skin. These vitamins are part of a complex system of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants that protect the skin from harmful reactive oxygen species. However, the skin is subjected to substantial environmental free radical stress from sunlight, pollution and smoking, all of which deplete the dermal stores of naturally occurring antioxidants. To replenish these losses, vitamins should be applied topically on the skin. Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) is the body’s major aqueous phase antioxidant and is vital for life. Oral supplementation with Vitamin C does little to increase skin concentration because active transport of vitamin C from the gastrointestinal tract is limited. Therefore, topical application of vitamin C is the preferred method to increase its presence in the skin. Vitamin C is an excellent antioxidant that sequentially donates electrons, thereby neutralizing free radicals present in the aqueous compartment of the cell. Along with its antioxidant property it has also got photoprotective, depigmenting and anti-inflammatory properties. Vitamin C also provides the additional advantages of replenishing vitamin E and stimulating dermal collagen synthesis, a major target in chronic photoaging. VC 15 contains L-ascorbic acid at a concentration of 15%. It is a stable formulation with a pH of 2.7. VC 15 promises to be non-irritating and non-comedogenic. It is available in a bottle of 15 ml along with a dropper....

This is my third bottle. It's a bit expensive but it's the only decent pure vitc serum out there. I like that it's just Vitaminc C without other ingredients which I don't desire. I just wish they would declare all the ingredients and the concentration% of Vit C (is it 15%?) I use this every night and retinol 0.04% thrice a week and it has worked wonders in hydrating skin, reducing fine lines and making skin tone even. One has to use it over a period of time to see results. My skin tone has improved drastically and I would recommend using this highly. I wrap the bottle in aluminum foil to keep it dark so the liquid doesn't oxidize. --- Edit - It's Apr/May 2022 and this is not available anywhere. They seem to have discontinued it. I wrote to Cipla but no response. Cipla team, if you're reading this - Please bring back this product. It was the best. Better than VCX and better than many other brands that have recently popped up. Dear everyone I had ordered the product on 26th March 2020. I've used it once a day in the morning. Having used it for 2 and a half months now, I can confidently say that the product has done a considerable change to my acne-prone skin. I've had lesser breakouts, my skin glows, the acne marks n pigmentation has disappeared and I love the clear n hydrated skin that it has given me. Although I think that it's a little overpriced and not everybody can afford to shell 1900 every 2-3 months. But then at least I'm not wasting money on the equally or more exp...
