Formulated with 15% L-ascorbic acid, Skinceuticals Serum 15 helps protect against damaging UVA/UVB rays, prevent premature signs of aging and stimulate collagen production.

This lightweight, fast-absorbing firming antioxidant treatment is ideal for all skin types.

Skinceticals Serum 15 reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, neutralizes free radicals, provides photoprotection and stimulates collagen synthesis.

Once absorbed, Skinceuticals Serum 15 can’t be washed or rubbed off, remaining protective for up to four days - making it an excellent addition to sunscreens such as Skinceuticals Ultimate UV Defense SPF 30 and Jan Marini Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant SPF 30.

1/9/08 – Obagi Medical Products Presents In Vitro Data Showing Its Topical Vitamin C Serums Provide Greater Absorption and Stability Than a Leading Competitor.

Follow with Skinceuticals Hydrating B5 Gel and a moisturizer of choice, such as a Skinceuticals Corrective or Skin Maintenance Moisturizer.

During the day, also apply a sunscreen.

Vitamin C (l-ascorbic acid) functions as a biological co-factor and antioxidant due to its reducing properties. Topical application of vitamin C has been shown to elevate significantly cutaneous levels of this vitamin in skin, and this correlates with protection of the skin from UV damage as measured by erythema and sunburn cell formation.

This protection is biological and due to the reducing properties of the molecule.

Further, vitamin C levels of the skin can be severely depleted after UV irradiation, which lower the skin's innate protective mechanism as well as leaving it at risk of impaired healing after photoinduced damage.

In addition, vitamin C protects skin from UVA-mediated phototoxic reactions (PUVA) and therefore shows promise as a broad-spectrum photoprotectant.

Effective ascorbic acid photoprotective agents include Skinceuticals C E Ferulic, other Skinceuticals Antioxidants such as Serum 15 AOX+ from the revised AOX+ collection and related products from IS Clinical.

Ectoin is also effective against the skin registering sun damage and may be used in association with ascorbic acid serums.
