Keya Seth Aromatherapy Skin Defence Vitamin C 20% Serum is a stabilized and long-lasting vitamin C Serum, which features multiple daily and special skin care benefits, including skin brightening and anti-ageing. AA2G is a stabilized vitamin C derivative and it is called ascorbic acid 2-glucoside, synthesized from vitamin C and starch through enzymatic technology developed by Hayashibara. AA2G is metabolized more gradually in the skin than other vitamin C derivatives, providing sustained physiological effects. AA2G has superior formulation stability, whereas vitamin C is known to have disadvantages in the storage and production of cosmetics, such as discoloration and degradation. Used worldwide as a cosmetic ingredient for many years, the distinctive characteristics of AA2G allow for the fullest use of vitamin C’s bioactive functionality in skin brightening, promotion of collagen synthesis, antioxidant effects and other skin care needs.
Features:
Most stable vitamin C (ascorbic acid): It has multiple functions in the human body, but it is relatively unstable and easily oxidized in aqueous solutions, which is followed by rapid degradation. In contrast, in AA2G vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid 2-Glucoside) used in the serum is stabilized with glucose which is more effective and premium than 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid or other derivatives.
Most skin penetrable: AA2G is gradually converted into active vitamin C in the skin, so it has a greater sustained effect than conventional vitamin C serums. Moreover, it is the form which is most penetrable through human skin.
AA2G supplies vitamin C continuously: Inhibits production of melanin; brightens skin and reduces pigmentation. Protects from skin damage caused by UV rays and minimises wrinkles and skin texture and moisture content.
Balanced, even skin tone: Vitamin E and B contribute to skin moisturization and hydration. Tocopherol or vitamin E promotes healing, boosts collagen production and restores skin elasticity. Niacinamide or vitamin B3 increases keratin synthesis, fades wrinkles and acts as an anti-acne agent.
