Works for
Evens skin toneSodium ascorbate, Ascorbic acid + 1 moreWorks well
“100% Pure Vitamin C Boost is a water-activated powder treatment that offers a potent dose of stable Vitamin C, designed to dramatically increase luminosity while lessening the appearance of dark spots.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: ascorbic acid, calcium ascorbate, sodium ascorbate.
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Sodium ascorbate, Ascorbic acid + 1 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (ascorbic acid, calcium ascorbate, sodium ascorbate) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
Anti-agingSide benefit the brand mentions · Sodium ascorbate, Ascorbic acid + 2 moreWorks well
“Ph balanced formula promotes a brighter complexion, while supporting collagen and elastin production for firm, supple skin.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains ascorbic acid, calcium ascorbate, sodium ascorbate.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.
MoisturizingSide benefit the brand mentions · Hyaluronic acidWorks
“Hyaluronic Acid: encourages collagen production and improves skin hydration”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": hyaluronic acid.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

We recommend to use up this product quickly after opening: Ascorbic Acid degrades fast when it gets in contact with air and light. The moment the product turns orange, it is a sign that a significant share of the vitamin C in it is no longer effective.
- Humectants (hyaluronic acid 1.10% - 1.60%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
