💖This is just a brief outline of a few Vitamin C’s in skincare! I can always make a more detailed video maybe on YouTube? 💖L- Ascorbic acid (LAA) is the hardest to stabilize which means it can expire quickly. When purchasing an LAA vitamin C skin care products, look for a few key items to ensure that the LAA is effective. 1.Dark packaging or packaging that is sealed to minimize light 2.Keep at room temperature. Heat will cause the product to oxidize 3.Ensure the product is sealed tight before buying, exposure will speed up the expiring process 4.You want the LAA serum to be clear, not orange (yellow tint is okay). Some creams and serums may have dyes or ingredients that can cause an orange tone so check the ingredient list 💖Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (THD) is an oil soluble vitamin C and has been proven to penetrate into both epidermis (outer layer of skin) and into the dermis (deepest layer of the skin). Being oil soluble it is a great option for sensitive and dry skin types as it helps lock the amazing benefits into your skin 💖Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP) is a water soluble vitamin C that is a mixture of LAA combined with palmitic acid (fatty acid + sodium). It is much more bioavailable which allows products with SAP to be more budget friendly. 💖Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP) is a water soluble vitamin C that is extremely stable. It is known to improve inflammation caused by acne and prevent sebum (oil) oxidation in acne vulgaris (severe acne). #vitaminc #vitamincserum #vitamincskincare #vitamincderivatives #lascorbicacid #bestvitamincserum #vitamincrecommendations #skincaretips
