Vitamin C with Hyaluronic Acid (Very Sensitive Skin)
This serum is for those with extremely sensitive skin who need pH 4.5, rather than 3.5.

Hyaluronic Acid:
Hyaluronic acid, also known as HA, is a natural compound found in skin that has many important functions, including holding in moisture, providing cushioning, adding in tissue repair, and holding together the skin's structural components (collagen and elastin). Topical products containing hyaluronic acid are effective at moisturizing surface skin cells.
-Moisturizing: Hyaluronic acid holds moisture well-holding up to 1000 times its weight in water. Hyaluronic acid functions not only to deliver water to the skin, but also to hold it there.
-Wrinkles: The loss of natural hyaluronic acid is one of the primary causes of wrinkles, so the idea of putting HA back into the skin to repair wrinkles makes sense! By reducing wrinkles, your skin looks younger and evens out skin tone, making it look smooth and supple.
-Safety: Hyaluronic acid based products are considered highly safe.

Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) :
Vitamin C is a powerful and effective antioxidant that protects us from free radicals that cause oxidative stress. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that can help our damaged skin look younger and healthier!
- Is more concentrated than nutritional Vitamin C
- Is rapidly absorbed so it won't rub or wash off
- Allows for greater penetration to the skin for greater benefit
- Neutralizes free radical damage
- Helps moisturize and increase skin hydration
- Stimulates collagen production and restores elasticity
- Prevents premature skin aging
- Decreases fine lines and wrinkles
- Lightens and brightens the skin for a more even skin tone
Vitamin C is used in skin care as a strong antioxidant AND promotes collagen production, which subsequently plumps the skin and allows your natural radiance and smoothness to shine!
Vitamin C is a prime ingredient of collagen, the substance that binds cells together. Collagen metabolism and production are key attributes of healthy, radiant, younger looking skin. Collagen, in fact, depends on vitamin C, which implies the vitamin's importance to healthy, attractive skin. Stable collagen production fights wrinkles, and ensures evenness in the skin's tone and texture.
Vitamin C's function as an antioxidant also benefits the skin, as it is able to protect the skin from damaging free radicals.
Directions
Apply twice a day, once in the morning before your normal moisturizing routine and again in the evening to a cleansed face. Follow with moisturizer and sunscreen. As the serum is concentrated, only a small amount is needed. Refrigerator storage is recommended.
