So, what exactly is in-vitro testing?

Translated from Latin, the term in-vitro means "in glass" — in-vitro testing is carried out in a lab; as opposed to clinical trials which take place on a living human subject. Although both forms of testing are valuable, the scientific nature of in-vitro testing in a lab environment removes human bias and provides objective results on efficacy.

What is Lipo-Vitamin C?

Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate is derived from ascorbic acid [vitamin C] and isopalmitic acid, resulting in a lipo-soluble form of Vitamin C. Being in oil form, it is readily absorbed into the active layers of the skin for increased efficacy and is much more stable.   It is high in antioxidants protecting the skin from oxidative stress caused by free radicals. It stimulates collagen production [a protein that maintains the skin's firmness and elasticity]. It inhibits melanin production, helping to lighten dark spots and hyperpigmentation for a brighter, clearer complexion and has anti-inflammatory properties.

Why is Lipo-Vitamin C such a powerful ingredient?

This advanced ingredient offers deeper penetration and greater stability than traditional Vitamin C, enhancing skin brightness and supporting robust collagen production.

Lipo-Vitamin C sets itself apart in skincare by offering enhanced stability and deeper penetration into the skin compared to traditional Vitamin C, ensuring superior antioxidant protection, increased collagen production, and more effective skin brightening benefits.
