Bliss Bright Idea Vitamin C Serum for Face Brightens Skin Diminishes Dark Spots and Visibly Firms Clean Paraben Free Cruelty-Free Vegan 30 ml

Product Information

Bliss's Bright Idea Vitamin C Serum looked promising because it has not only vitamin C, but a tri-peptide to boost skin’s elasticity, glycerin to help retain hydration, and licorice root to protect against free radicals. It diminishes hyperpigmentation, can help soften the appearance of lines and wrinkles, prevents damage from free radicals, and is seriously capable of giving you a bright and even glow. We will introduce you exclusively to Newpay finance products provided by NewDay Limited under this Introducer Appointed Representative arrangement. It dissolves in water and can make a thin, elastic, and moisture-absorbing film when spread on the skin that can cause an instant tightening effect.

But the Bliss Bright Idea Vitamin C Serum and Moisturizer contain 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, a little detail that can make a big difference. Bottom line: Licorice is a great skincare ingredient with significant depigmenting, anti-inflammatory and even some antioxidant properties. CLINICAL-GRADE VITAMIN C + TRI-PEPTIDE SERUM: It includes a professional spa-grade blend of brightening Vitamin C, plus patented tri-peptides to boost and protect collagen levels and green tea extract for a boost of antioxidants. Another study even suggested that licorice is more effective than the gold standard skin-lightening agent hydroquinone.Whilst I haven’t noticed a huge reduction in hyperpigmentation from the serum, my skin overall looks radiant. Ethyl Ascorbic Acid or EAC for short is an "etherified derivative of ascorbic acid" that consists of vitamin C and an ethyl group bound to the third carbon position. EAC seems to have both an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect, and it's claimed to be able to boost the skin's collagen production.

Other than having a good safety profile and being quite gentle to the skin it has some other advantages too. The latter one is a very-very expensive ingredient, so if you are after the depigmenting properties try to choose a product that boasts its high-quality licorice extract.On top of manufacturer claims, there is also clinical in-vivo (tested on real people) data showing that 2% EAC can improve skin tone and whiten the skin. Note that there are restrictions on some products, and some products cannot be shipped to international destinations. My skin felt comfortable and hydrated, rather than tight or itchy (the latter of which had become the norm this past winter).

Btw, Xanthan gum is all natural, a chain of sugar molecules (polysaccharide) produced from individual sugar molecules ( glucose and sucrose) via fermentation. In cosmetics, it’s often in products that are supposed to keep your skin matte as it has great oil-absorbing abilities. All trademarked names, brands, and products mentioned on this site are the sole property of their respective trademark owners. They are good friends because ethylhexylglycerin can boost the effectiveness of phenoxyethanol (and other preservatives) and as an added bonus it feels nice on the skin too.

That said, I do like the way it feels, as it's quite thick to blend in, which is what I like in a nighttime moisturizer. A natural polymer (big molecules from repeated subunits) that is harvested from the Acacia tree in the sub-Saharan region in Africa. It uses strawberry fruit and seed extract to reduce hyperpigmentation, unclog pores, and reduce excess oil, plus hyaluronic acid to hydrate and plump. Like the spinach I try to mix into every bowl of pasta I eat, I know it’s good for me, and I want to make it a habit.

It can be produced from most vegetable oils (in oils three fatty acid molecules are attached to glycerin instead of just one like here) in a pretty simple, "green" process that is similar to soap making. Once inside the skin, it hydrates, but not from the outside - putting pure water on the skin (hello long baths! It’s definitely a smart thing to avoid with sensitive skin (and fragrance of any type - natural is just as allergic as synthetic, if not worse! It creates ultra-soft, light texture, has excellent dermo-compatibility and is readily biodegradable. Fragrance in the US and parfum in the EU is a generic term on the ingredient list that is made up of 30 to 50 chemicals on average (but it can have as much as 200 components!You can usually find it right in the very first spot of the ingredient list, meaning it’s the biggest thing out of all the stuff that makes up the product.
