Focus on vitamin C, the star ingredient for a radiant complexion

Oxidative stress leads to the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, as well as a lack of firmness and the appearance of brown spots. To prevent this acceleration of skin ageing, antioxidants combat oxidative stress and protect the skin from external aggression.

Although our bodies produce antioxidants, our modern lifestyles expose us to far too many free radicals for our natural defenses alone. That's why we recommend including antioxidants in our cosmetic skincare routine.

Focus on: vitamin C (or L-ascorbic acid)

Vitamin C is a benchmark anti-aging active ingredient. It protects cell membranes made up of fatty acids that are highly sensitive to oxidation.

It acts as a free-radical trap, limiting the chain reaction of oxidative stress: it is therefore particularly relevant for reinforcing the skin's defense mechanisms in the face of everyday aggressions. The only drawback to vitamin C? It is unstable in the open air, making it difficult to store.

To counter this problem, the vitamin C in our PERS Serum has been stabilized.

As a result, it can provide the skin with all the energy it needs to fight oxidative stress.

Its other properties make it a glow ally:

Lightening pigmentation: Vitamin C reduces pigmentation spots and blemishes by inhibiting the production of an enzyme called tyrosinase, which is involved in melanin formation. As a result, it helps even out skin tone and reduce dark spots.

UV protection: While vitamin C is not a substitute for sunscreen, it can provide additional protection against the harmful effects of UV rays. It acts as an antioxidant barrier, helping to minimize the damage caused by sun exposure. To optimally PROTECT the skin, we recommend combining Vitamin C Serum PERS with SPF 50+ Sun Protection Gel.

Skin hydration: Vitamin C helps maintain a healthy skin barrier by promoting water retention in the skin. Optimum hydration is essential for a radiant complexion.
