Fixderma Vitamin c-25 Enhance Serum-15ml

Description

The Fixderma Vitamin C-25 Enhance Serum (15ml) is a highly concentrated and potent serum designed to deliver the powerful benefits of Vitamin C to the skin. It’s particularly aimed at addressing signs of aging, uneven skin tone, and dullness.

Key Features and Benefits:

• High Concentration of Vitamin C (25% L-Ascorbic Acid): This is the purest and most biologically active form of Vitamin C. At a 25% concentration, it’s considered very potent and aims to provide maximum efficacy.
• Antioxidant Powerhouse: Vitamin C is a strong antioxidant that combats free radicals generated by sun exposure and environmental pollution. This helps protect the skin from oxidative stress and premature aging.
• Skin Brightening & Even Tone: It significantly helps to reduce the appearance of dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and blemishes, leading to a brighter, more radiant, and even-toned complexion.
• Collagen Boosting: L-Ascorbic Acid is crucial for collagen synthesis. This serum helps stimulate the skin’s natural collagen production, which improves skin firmness, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and enhances overall skin elasticity.
• Anti-Aging Properties: By protecting against damage and boosting collagen, it actively helps reverse visible signs of aging and promotes a more youthful appearance.
• Hydrating: The inclusion of Hyaluronic Acid helps to attract and retain moisture in the skin, keeping it plump and hydrated.
• Enhanced Stability: Formulated with Ferulic Acid and Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate), which are known to stabilize Vitamin C and boost its antioxidant properties, extending the serum’s efficacy and photoprotective activity.
• Shiitake Mushroom Extract: This ingredient is known to promote cell turnover, which can further help in reducing the appearance of fine lines, dark spots, and pigmentation.
• Non-Irritating Formulation (despite high concentration): Fixderma claims its formulation is stable and designed to be non-irritating even at 25% L-Ascorbic Acid, a common concern with high-potency Vitamin C serums. It is generally described as paraben-free, preservative-free, and alcohol-free.

Key Ingredients:

• Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C / L-Ascorbic Acid – 25%): The primary active for brightening, antioxidant protection, and collagen synthesis.
• Ferulic Acid: An antioxidant that stabilizes Vitamin C and enhances its effectiveness.
• Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E): An antioxidant and moisturizing agent that works synergistically with Vitamin C.
• Corthellus Shiitake (Mushroom) Extract: For cell turnover, brightening, and reducing dark spots.
• Hydrolyzed Collagen: To support skin firmness and elasticity.
• Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract: Known for soothing and skin-brightening properties.
• Hyaluronic Acid: For intense hydration and plumping the skin.
• Other ingredients include Aqua, Ethoxydiglycol, Propanediol, Glycerine, etc.

Usage:

• Cleanse your face and pat it dry.
• Take 5 to 6 drops (approximately 1 ml) of the serum on your palm.
• Apply evenly to your face and neck.
• Gently massage until fully absorbed.
• Use in the morning and evening for optimal results.
• Crucial: Always follow up with a broad-spectrum sunscreen with high SPF during the day when using Vitamin C serums, as Vitamin C can increase sun sensitivity.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin? While Fixderma states the 25% L-Ascorbic Acid is in a stable and non-irritating formulation, a high concentration of Vitamin C can sometimes cause tingling or mild irritation, especially for very sensitive skin types or those new to Vitamin C. The presence of soothing ingredients like Licorice Root Extract and hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid aims to mitigate this. It’s always recommended to do a patch test before incorporating it fully into your routine, especially if you have sensitive or reactive skin. For highly sensitive skin, starting with a lower concentration Vitamin C product might be advisable before moving to 25%.
