The power of science
In cosmetics, vitamin C is known to promote radiance and even skin tone—visibly reducing the appearance of dark spots. However, in its pure state, it is unstable and breaks down quickly when exposed to light or heat. To help guarantee its performance in our formulas, Clarins Laboratories uses a stabilized vitamin C derivative.
Skincare benefits of Vitamin C derivative
Vitamin C—also known as ascorbic acid for its ability to help prevent scurvy—is found naturally in the body and comes primarily from fruits and vegetables (mainly citrus fruit and broccoli). It is known for its fatigue-fighting benefits and is essential for growth, good bone health, strong teeth and healthy skin.
