This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains ascorbic acid.

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.

What the product description says
“The Indeed Labs Vitamin C24 Serum is a combined serum and moisturizer formulated with 22% L-ascorbic acid (the purest form of vitamin C) and 2% hyaluronic microspheres to help protect your skin from environmental damage, while increasing hydration levels to even out skin tone and reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles.”

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. 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. The following ingredients in this product do the job: sodium hyaluronate, butylene glycol.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: dimethicone, peg-10 dimethicone.

    It's a very interesting consistency and feeling on the face, once you put it on, it disappears into a matte finish, like nothing was there to begin with. Which is nice because most vitamin c serums are oil based and leave an "unbreathable" sticky feeling on the face afterwards, this one leaves it matte and smooth. The vitamin C is definitely potent, because i used to use SkinCeuticals CEF which is 20% vc and that one did not sting, but this one does. I will be repurchasing.

Ingredient callouts

  • This product also contains Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) 8.10% (declared) It can be helpful in stimulating collagen production, neutralizing free radicals in skin and improving pigmentation marks. 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 (sodium hyaluronate 0.10% - 0.45%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
