vitamin c serum & vitamin c cream

since 1977, we at dermal essentials have been bringing natural radiance to skincare. as a women-run, family owned business nestled in the heart of walnut creek, we've seen beauty trends come & go. but when it comes to vitamin C this is a lasting, important part of your skincare routine. vitamin C is one of the most well-researched anti-aging ingredients backed by scientific clinical trails.

vitamin C is a collagen-supporting antioxidant which occurs naturally in the skin. however, it depletes due to aging & sun exposure resulting in the need to use topical vitamin c skincare products. a vitamin C serum or vitamin C cream is vital for smooth, firm, radiant, healthy skin.

a vitamin C serum or vitamin C cream can be used by virtually any skin type & skin tone. vitamin C serums & vitamin C creams offer a multitude of benefits including fighting free radicals, brightening the skin, promoting collagen synthesis, fading hyperpigmentation & improving the appearance of sun spots giving your skin an even tone & radiancy.

there are many forms of vitamin C with l-ascorbic acid as the most researched & potent form of vitamin C. it is unparalleled in stopping oxidative damage & highly effective in helping with repair & rejuvenation. l-ascorbic acid is the least stable form of vitamin C & therefore any vitamin C serum formulated with it needs to be presented in an opaque bottle & stored in a cool, dark environment. adding ferulic  acid helps to counteract the stability issue.

our repair vitamin C serum is formulated with l-ascorbic acid to offer you the maximum benefits of a vitamin C serum. we have also formulated it to include ferulic acid to boost the effects of vitamin C & for added stability properties. additionally we have included vitamin E for added protection from uv damage.

some of the other stable forms of vitamin C available & present in our vitamin C cream include:

tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate 
ascorbyl glucoside
magnesium ascorbyl phosphate
sodium ascorbyl phosphate
ascorbyl palmitate


our radiant vitamin C cream is formulated with these 5 forms of self-stabilized, bioavailable vitamin C. this delivers dramatic skin brightening & anti-aging benefits to your skin. our vitamin C cream also has vitamin E for added antioxidant benefits.

retinol & vitamin C serums & vitamin C creams can all be used in your skincare routine but you need to alternate time of use. apply your retinol at night & your vitamin C in the morning.
