Benefits
Promise: Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
Fine lines and wrinkles If you want to know more… Vitamin C is an effective antioxidant and its pure form of l-ascorbic acid has been shown to improve multiple signs of skin aging while brightening the skin.
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.

Promise: Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
The strongest form of Vitamin C, exfoliates skin and works efficiently to slow the ageing process and boost skin health.
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
Promise: Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
In addition to its vitamin C-based formula, this elixir also uses the skin-loving properties of hyaluronic acid to help hydrate and plump the skin for a younger-looking appearanceThis product is vegan and cruelty-free.
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.
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: squalane, coco-caprylate/caprate.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| squalane | HIGH | | |
| sodium hyaluronate | HIGH | | |
| ethylhexyl palmitate | MEDIUM | | |
Other benefit: Anti-oxidation
This product contains antioxidants (ascorbic acid) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
