Why

Why:

Your skin needs a daily top up of antioxidant vitamin C. Why? Because it helps prevent and repair skin cell damage, and dietary levels in the skin just aren’t enough to keep skin working beautifully (diluted by factors like UV light, pollution, your age, smoke…). With 100% pure stabilised L-ascorbic acid plus antioxidant alpha lipoic acid start using Synergie Pure C crystals now and you’ll be doing the very best to protect your future self from signs of skin ageing. Just mix one part crystals to four parts serum (using one to two pumps of serum), so a little goes a long, long way.

WHAT TO EXPECT

A pure, dry powder that dissolves into your morning serums
A potent antioxidant – delivers radiant, naturally hydrated skin
Improved barrier function – dewy and calmer skin
Increased collagen production – firmer skin substructure for lighter lines and wrinkles; improved texture (especially for acne scarred skin)
Controlled melanin production – more even, lightened skin
Powerful exfoliation (very sensitive skins should build strength with vitamin B before adding vitamin C into a regime)
The perfect daily partner to sunscreen in addressing free radical damage, uneven skin tone, UV damage and ageing.
Skin operating at optimum health
Visible skin change 30 days in; bigger results after twelve weeks (three skin cell cycles); the real pay-off after nine months and counting

Use

Use:

DAY

Everyday, after cleansing, mix Pure C crystals into one pump of Reveal, SuperSerum, Enlighten or Hydrogel in the palm of your hands (1 part crystal to 4 parts serum equivalent to 25% dose) Massage into your face, neck and chest. (If you have a home roller, now's the time to roll)

Mix with:

HydroGel for oily skin
SuperSerum for ageing skin and fine lines
EnLighten to address uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation
Reveal as a weekly ‘minipeel’ to combat congestion and sun damage. For more robust skin types only.

Do not combine with Vitamin A or Vitamin B serums.

Apply a UV protective sunscreen on top.

Note: Don’t combine Pure C with A or B vitamin serums as they reduce each other’s benefits. Keep A and B in your night regime.

This formula

This formula:

Another tricky to stabilise ingredient, L-ascorbic acid oxidises in water-based serums, so product benefits can fizzle out before a bottle is opened. Synergie Pure C crystals offer the best way of delivering active vitamin C to the skin, at full clinical strength, as and when you need it in your weekly regime, or as an exfoliation boost. Perfect for regular and oily skin types.

HERO INGREDIENTS + HERE’S WHY

100% pure L-ascorbic acid crystals

Becomes active (and remains stable) in lipid-soluble form in your morning serum; stays in the skin for 72 hours
New technology delivers the finest grade triple-milled, particles to deliver pure vitamin C therapy at optimal clinical strength
Sub-micronised particles enable greater skin penetration compared to other forms of L-ascorbic acid currently available, due to a larger surface-area-to-volume-ratio
The only form of topical vitamin C clinically proven to be effective in skincare (derivatives like ascorbyl palmitate and magnesium ascorbyl phosphate do not increase vitamin C levels in the skin and aren’t supported by the same research)
Maintains, stimulates and repairs collagen by increasing fibroblast activity and therefore collagen synthesis (fibroblasts are the cells that produce collagen and elastin), helping to minimise fine lines, wrinkles and scars and leading to better skin texture and stronger, healthier skin
Topical vitamin C protects against and reduces damage to skin cells that results in premature ageing. It neutralises free radicals produced when sunlight interacts with the cell membrane and other parts of skin tissue. (Though doesn’t absorb light and is not a sunscreen.)
Inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase which aids melanin production, so assists in prevention and reduction of age spots and evens skin tone. (A good lightening agent for Asian and black skin because it doesn't cause post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation like chemical exfoliants can.)
Aids control of the inflammatory response associated with skin trauma (sunburn, dermatitis, post-laser resurfacing, for example), a process which rapidly depletes your much-needed supplies of vitamin C. This also helps speed up the healing process
Enables regeneration of vitamin E, helping skin to feel supple. So while vitamin C protects the water soluble parts of the cell, vitamin E protects the lipid parts, including the membrane
Some research suggests topical vitamin C can support skin against the emergence of certain types of cancer on two levels. By helping to prevent UVA light generated reactive oxygen species (a type of free radical), which can cause cell mutations that increase the likelihood of developing cancer. And by helping to prevent the negative impact UV light can have on the immune system (also called UV immumosuppression)

Alpha lipoic acid (ALA):

A powerful anti-ageing, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory properties
Inhibits cross-linking of protein (collagen) which causes wrinkling of the skin (Advanced Glycation End Products/ AGE)
Able to neutralise toxic metals in the body
Able to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles
Regulates production of nitric oxide, which improves vital blood flow to the skin
Decreases dark circles and puffiness
Reduce facial swelling and puffiness
Helps to reduce enlarged pores
