Vitamin C + Bakuchiol Serum
For a visibly brighter and smoother complexion.
Protect against environmental pollutants and premature ageing, improve skin texture and correct age spots with our lightweight and stable 10% Vitamin C + 1% Bakuchiol serum.
In a base of melon seed oil, this lipid antioxidant serum absorbs quickly and leaves a silky soft, non-greasy finish on the skin.
Vitamin C
A highly stable, fast-absorbing and non-irritating form of vitamin C, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate (THDA) protects against oxidative damage from UV and other environmental factors.
It scavenges the free radicals that are a cause of premature skin ageing, improves the appearance of hyperpigmentation, reduces age spots and revitalises skin texture.
Being an oil-soluble lipid, THDA does a better job at penetrating deeper into the skin, where it will provide the most tangible benefits.
THDA doesn't require low pH extremes, making it much gentler on the skin. It also doesn't oxidise and degrade quickly, so you can take your time and use every last drop inside the bottle.
Bakuchiol
A powerful antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. With continued use, Bakuchiol has been shown to have a noticeable effect on the skin, including a reduction in wrinkle surface area, pigmentation, elasticity, firmness and overall photodamage.
We source our Bakuchiol (trade name Sytenol® A) from the manufacturer, Sytheon.
Research showing retinol-like skin benefits was conducted using Sytenol® A. The most notable is a 12-week double-blind clinical study of volunteers using either Bakuchiol or retinol. It found that both groups saw similar results with no statistical difference between the two ingredients. However, the retinol group reported more scaling and stinging.
Bakuchiol doesn’t cause peeling and irritation, and it can be used during the day because it does not cause photosensitivity.
Vitamin C: Choose your Strength
Both our Vitamin C serums contain THDA. Which one you choose depends on the strength that is optimal for your skin. If you're new to vitamin C, start with the lower percentage.
