Since 1987, California based skin care brand Derma E has been committed to creating effective
products that treat the planet just as well as they treat the skin. With 12 different skin care
collections designed around specific antioxidants, ingredients and skin concerns, Derma E products are simple to use. They are formulated with only the most potent natural ingredients, ensuring high-quality results without chemical intervention.

The Benefits of Vitamin C

Vitamin C has been rapidly gaining popularity recently, and for a good reason – it really works! Dull
skin, dark spots, fine lines, acne scarring and textured skin are no match for the restorative
properties of Vitamin C. The reason Vitamin C is able to treat so many concerns so well is because
of its ability to neutralise free radicals.

Free radicals are created when electrons become unbalanced and break down. This can occur
naturally due to aging and sun damage but is far more destructive to the skin in the form of
pollutants such as cigarette smoke, pesticides, UV rays and household chemicals. If left untreated,
free radicals break down collagen and elastin, speeding up the appearance of ageing and leaving
skin looking dull.

Because of its antioxidant properties and acidity, Vitamin C is further able to regenerate damaged
skin cells, accelerate natural collagen production, and inhibit melanin production, leaving skin
feeling supple, vibrant and without the ability to form dark spots.

Reviews for Vitamin C can claim incredibly glowing skin, red irritation and no difference at all; the
reason for this is formulation. Lower strength, water soluble formulas are claiming the benefits of
Vitamin C are unlikely to impact the skin beyond hydration. One of the best brightening Vitamin C
collections we’ve found so far is Derma E’s. Each product contains two variations of high potency
Vitamin C; C-Ester, a fat soluble, stable form of Vitamin C strong enough to penetrate and
regenerate cell membranes; and Stay-C 50, a non irritating form of Vitamin C that remains effective
throughout wear without oxidising.

How to incorporate Vitamin C into your routine

Whether you have a 12 step skin care routine or just wash your face and moisturise, Vitamin C can
be easily worked into any beauty routine to deliver glowing results. The most potent forms of
Vitamin C are found in serums and, for those with sensitive skin, should be diluted with a
moisturiser or oil to allow the skin to acclimate to continued use. If you already have a staple serum,
Vitamin C is also effective in moisturisers, cleansers and creams. Read on to find our favourite ways
to incorporate the best Vitamin C into our routines with Derma E:

CF Tip

Vitamin C should never be used with Retinol or strong AHAs simultaneously as they counteract
each other and can cause irritation. Try using Vitamin C in the morning and retinol or AHA in the
evening to avoid this.

use. Adding a Vitamin C enriched product to your routine doesn’t have to be complicated. Use it in
