Antioxidant serum with vitamins A, C and E
Every day, the skin defends itself against free radicals from sunlight, air pollution and stress. Antioxidants help neutralise them and so protect the skin from premature ageing. The serum combines three vitamins that complement each other in this protection, which is why we also call it the antioxidant ACE serum:
- Vitamin C in a stable ester form is an antioxidant that helps protect the skin against free radicals.
- Vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate) protects the lipids in the skin from oxidation and complements vitamin C in its effect.
- Vitamin A (retinyl palmitate), according to the raw material manufacturer, contributes to reducing fine wrinkles and supports skin elasticity.
The vitamins are complemented by borage oil with polyunsaturated fatty acids, jojoba oil and hyaluronic acid, which help restore the skin’s hydrolipid balance.
Liposomal technology: why vitamins in liposomes
The vitamins are enclosed in liposomes, tiny particles with soy lecithin. According to the raw material manufacturer, liposomes protect the vitamins and help deliver them into the skin. The serum contains 2% of the liposomal complex.
Forms of vitamin C in cosmetics
Vitamin C is used in cosmetics in several forms. The best known is L-ascorbic acid. It is effective, but it oxidises quickly, needs a low pH and in higher concentrations may irritate sensitive skin. Vitamin C derivatives, so-called esters, are more stable and fat-soluble. This is the form our serum contains.
How it differs from a classic vitamin C serum
Classic vitamin C face serums usually contain L-ascorbic acid in a high concentration. Our serum is based on a different principle: it contains vitamins A, C and E in stable ester forms. The 2% concentration refers to the whole liposomal complex, not to vitamin C alone. That is why you should not compare it with classic serums by the percentage of vitamin C. Its strength lies in the combination of three antioxidants.
Who the serum is suitable for
The serum is intended mainly for mature, dry and tired skin with signs of ageing. The vitamins are in stable forms, so the serum may also suit more sensitive skin, depending on individual tolerance. For very reactive skin, we recommend starting gradually.
What to combine the serum with
The serum combines very well with moisturising and barrier care. You can also use it together with the serum with bakuchiol. As the serum already contains a vitamin A derivative, if you use another retinoid, it is a good idea, especially for more sensitive skin, to split the products: this serum in the morning and the retinoid in the evening.
How to use
Apply a few drops to cleansed skin of the face and neck and then use your cream. You can use the serum in the morning and evening. When using it in the morning, finish with a cream with sun protection factor (SPF).
Store the product at room temperature, away from heat sources and direct sunlight.

FAQ
How much vitamin C does the serum contain?
The serum contains 2% of a liposomal complex of vitamins A, C and E. The percentage refers to the whole complex, not to vitamin C alone. Vitamin C is in a stable ester form, not in the form of ascorbic acid, which classic vitamin C serums contain.
Is the serum suitable for sensitive skin?
The vitamins are in stable ester forms, so the serum may also suit more sensitive skin, depending on individual tolerance. For very reactive skin, start gradually.
Can I use the serum in the morning?
Yes, you can use the serum in the morning and evening. The serum does not increase the skin’s sensitivity to sunlight, so using it is not a reason to apply SPF. However, if you are prone to hyperpigmentation, be sure to use SPF.
Can I combine the serum with retinol or bakuchiol?
With bakuchiol, yes. The serum contains a vitamin A derivative, so with another retinoid it is a good idea, especially for more sensitive skin, to split the products: this serum in the morning and the retinoid in the evening.
Can I use the serum under make-up?
Yes. The serum leaves no greasy feel, so in the morning you can apply it under your SPF cream and make-up.
Does the serum help with pigmentation spots and wrinkles?
The serum contains antioxidants that help protect the skin against free radicals. According to the raw material manufacturer, vitamin A contributes to reducing fine wrinkles. For pigmentation spots, consult a dermatologist, who will recommend targeted treatment.
How should I store the serum?
At room temperature, away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
Does the serum contain fragrance?
No, the serum does not contain fragrance.
