Works for
Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
Reduces The Appearance Of Age Spots & Fine Lines Reviva's Vitamin C Serum features Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate + Ascorbic Acid + Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate to create a triple dose of “C”.
aminopropyl ascorbyl phosphate
2.9% -
4.4%
Irritation risk:
Concentration: Effectiveness:
MEDIUM
A more stable but less potent derivative of vitamin C. It can help neautralize free radicals and even out the skin tone if used in high enough concentration (required levels are likely to be much higher than for pure vitamin C, and solid studies are lacking at the moment)
sodium ascorbyl phosphate
7.2% -
10.8%
Irritation risk:
Concentration: Effectiveness:
LOW
A stable derivative of vitamin C. It is oil-soluble which means it is more likely to penetrate the skin compared to the pure form of vitamin C (which is water-soluble), but it is less bio-available and is way less effective in stimulating collagen and reducing wrinkles compared to the pure form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and its other derivatives (for example, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate). At the same time, this vitamin C derivative has been shown in studies to be effective in reducing acne, blemishes and clogged pores. It is less irritating then the pure form of vitamin C
ascorbic acid
1.2% -
1.8%
Irritation risk:
Concentration: Insufficient!
The most well-researched antioxidant that works in skin. Helps neutralize free radicals supporting collagen production, helping to even out the skin tone and preventing early signs of aging
