Why do we need an antioxidant? This is the
question that comes up very often "Why apply an
antioxidant face serum when I have been without
it for years?" Our skin naturally defends itself
against external aggressions by intercepting free
radicals, responsible for the aging of the skin.
But its defense capital is not unlimited and
often needs help to be optimal. You will tell us
that a varied and balanced diet can be enough to
provide the necessary dose of antioxidants for
the skin. While our body needs to have a supply
of antioxidants through the daily consumption of
fruits and vegetables, only ? of the antioxidants
that we ingest go to the skin. This is why a
supply of topical antioxidants is essential to
prevent skin damage and visibly correct the signs
of aging and hyperpigmentation.

Is vitamin c serum compatible with the sun? You
can use vitamin C serum when the sun is shining
since it can be used all year round, summer and
winter. It is also essential to apply protection
adapted to your skin type at the end of your face
care routine. Indeed, the anti-free radical
action of vitamin C complements the protective
action of protection, increasing its power by
approximately 30. This is why we advise you to
use a sun filter after applying your vitamin C
serum because these two products combined have a
real shielding effect on your skin.
4
Why do we have serum-containing several
antioxidants? It is possible to combine several
antioxidants in a single serum to provide more
complete protection. For example, Derma
Essentia's Vitamin C Serum is combined with
hyaluronic acid to provide increased protection
against free radicals, improve skin firmness,
reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines
and brighten the complexion. This specific
combination must of course be clinically
validated for its effectiveness and synergy to be
guaranteed because an unoptimized mixture of
antioxidants can cause instability of the formula
or even a negative effect.
5
Can vitamin c serum be applied to all skin
types? Yes, it is possible to apply a vitamin C
serum to all skin types as long as you choose the
right serum, of course! For example, oily skin
will opt for an antioxidant serum containing
active ingredients that act at the same time to
reduce excess sebum, such as Derma Essentia's
Vitamin C Serum. Sensitive and dry skin, for its
part, will opt for a serum that incorporates
soothing and lipid-replenishing agents, to
reconstitute the fat reserves of the hydrolipidic
film.
6
Is vitamin c compatible with another active
ingredient? Vitamin C complements perfectly with
other active ingredients, such as Hyaluronic Acid
or Niacinamide. However, avoid incorporating a
vitamin C serum in facial care routines including
AHA / BHA (including the famous glycolic acid),
salicylic acid, Retinol, copper peptides, or even
benzoyl peroxide. In these cases, the
association of vitamin C with these assets will
either cause irritation and flaking or cancel the
effects of the assets in question.

Does a highly concentrated vitamin C serum
systematically cause irritation? A too high
concentration of vitamin C can cause skin
irritations such as tightness, stinging, and
discomfort, especially on sensitive skin. That's
why it's important to choose the right vitamin C
serum for your skin type. Does vitamin c cause
pimples? A vitamin C serum can be irritating to
sensitive and reactive skin but does not cause
pimples. How often to apply vitamin c serum on
face? In your daily beauty routine, morning and
evening. Be careful because too much is the enemy
of good. In high doses, vitamin C can become
pro-oxidant and therefore have the opposite
effect of what you are looking for. 1 to 2 times
a day is, therefore, more than enough.
