CAN VITAMIN C SERUM CAUSE IRRITATION?


CAN VITAMIN C SERUM CAUSE IRRITATION?

Yes, Vitamin C in certain derivatives as an ingredient in certain skin care formulations has proven to irritate the skin.

Many formulations have come to market over the years, some have proven to be excellent and expound all benefits related to Vitamin C - but others tend to cause redness and become irritating - even more so over time. 

SO WHY ARE SOME VITAMIN C SERUMS IRRITATING?

The purest form of Vitamin C, L Ascorbic Acid must be formulated at a low PH in order to remain stable in water based formulations. This limits compatibility with a broad range of skin types - some will find formulations with this ingredient irritating almost immediately upon application.

Other signs of your skin not being happy with the formulation may be peeling or dry patches of skin. 

CAN YOU STILL USE VITAMIN C SERUM AND BYPASS THE IRRITATION?

The simple answer is yes - absolutely!

The benefits related to applying Vitamin C to the skin are well documented and clinically assessed, Vitamin C Brightens, Whitens and Tightens the skin. 

The trick to avoiding irritation lies in finding the right formulation for your skin.

Due to latest scientific advances, ingredients are coming to the fore which are just as effective as L-Ascorbic Acid - but importantly, are non irritating and do not go off nearly as quickly.

Finding the right formulation for your skin is getting easier.

Look out for ingredients such as Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (C-Tetra) and Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP) These ingredients are advanced forms of Vitamin C and are less likely to cause irritation - also, they're normally formulated at PH levels closer to our skin's natural PH. Another added bonus is they're much less likely to become crusty or go off on your shelf - especially if they're sold to you in airless or advanced packaging solutions which are able to protect sensitive ingredients for longer.

Kalōnology's Advanced Vitamin C Serum includes both C-Tetra and MAP Vitamin C derivatives.

Your skin will love this product as it also includes marine extracts which help collagen synthesis - it's non irritating and effective.

What are Polysaccharides

Image
Polysaccharides are long chains of carbohydrates that are found in certain plants. Chondrus crispus, also known as Irish moss or carrageen moss, is a red seaweed that grows in the cool waters of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. It has been traditionally used in Irish and Scottish cuisine for its thickening properties. However, recent research has discovered that chondrus crispus contains a unique polysaccharide complex that provides numerous benefits to the skin. The discovery of these polysaccharides in chondrus crispus algae began with the study of carrageenan, a type of sulfated polysaccharide extracted from the plant. Carrageenan has been used in the food industry as a thickening and stabilising agent for decades. However, as scientists began to study the properties of carrageenan more closely, they discovered that it contained a variety of bioactive compounds that could be beneficial to human health. Further research led to the discovery of other polysaccharides in chondrus crispu...
