esthetician Q+A: vitamin C why does Bioelements use 10% vitamin C? We prioritize performance over percentage, without introducing irritation. Calibrated for max effectiveness and stability at 10%, each formula has a pH near the 5-6 range (close to skin's own pH) to further minimize irritation. can vitamin C and niacinamide be used together? Absolutely. In fact, both vc10 nightly bright and vc10 dark spot solution pair vitamin C with niacinamide. Together, they help support a brighter, more even-looking complexion while helping improve the appearance of discoloration. what can vitamin C do for dark spots? Vitamin C helps reduce the appearance of dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and sunspots, promoting a more even and radiant skin tone. Vitamin C inhibits the enzyme responsible for melanin production (tyrosinase), helping to fade dark spots, acne scars, and discoloration. what makes vc10 different? The vc10 blend features an active center of the ascorbic acid molecule that is temporarily blocked, and only broken down by enzymes in the skin, giving it the ability to resist exposure to air, temperature and time - no oxidization or foul odor. |
