Vitabrid Vitabrid C¹² Face Brightening Powder for Dull Skin | Vitabrid US
Works for
Evens skin toneAscorbic acid, Acetyl glucosamine + 1 moreWorks well
“This revolutionary form of vitamin C powder helps smooth away the signs of aging, brighten the skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve hyperpigmentation, refine pores, and leave healthy radiant skin.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: ascorbic acid.
In addition, this product contains acetyl glucosamine, niacinamide. This ingredient (ingredients) might help reduce hyperpigmentation, but the effect, if any, is likely to be small.
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-agingAscorbic acid, Acetyl glucosamine + 3 moreWorks well
“A 12-hour active vitamin C that is easily blended into any skin care products, powered by our unique patented technology that preserves vitamin C in layers of bio-friendly mineral layers, is the first to deliver active vitamin C into the skin for over 12 continuous hours for a brighter, younger looking complexion.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains ascorbic acid, acetyl glucosamine, adenosine, niacinamide.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: serine.
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 · Acetyl glucosamine, Niacinamide + 6 moreWorks well
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:
betaine, hydrolyzed collagen.
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: hydrolyzed collagen, glyceryl stearate.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl glucosamine, niacinamide
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Ascorbic acid, AdenosineWorks well
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).
Anti-blemishSide benefit · Niacinamide, AllantoinMay help
This product might be able to help reduce blemishes and clogged pores because it contains niacinamide.
