VITAMIN C 20% SERUM Review

 

hi guys welcome or welcome back to another article with skincare blog and today we have the most requested article ever in the history of requests that I receive on my comments and dm we are going to do a non-sponsored unsponsored my honest thoughts on derma co  twenty percent vitamin c serum.

if this is your first time here hi this is skincare blog i talk about skincare hair care personality development fashion a lot of things are going on in my blog so if that is something that interests you do consider read all article that you love and also give this article a thumbs up.

Skin care to the reviews right so the derma co vitamin c 20 serum okay so i like to talk about the product advantages and disadvantages and also what are some things that the company can do better and i also want to tell you the right way and who should be using the vitamin c and the right way to use the vitamin c okay so you want to stay for that so now all the key ingredients or actually all the ingredients of this particular product are popping up here um there are not a lot of ingredients right and i'll just talk about the main ones that really come at the top so we have ascorbic acid which is the vitamin c which is one of the fewer you know unstable forms of vitamin c.

But they have stabilized it using the ferulic acid which is also a plant antioxidant that has been added into this you also have propylene glycol and you also have sodium hyaluronate which are humectants meaning that you have to go in with the moisturizer on top of it yes you got it right so you have to go in with a moisturizer on top of it so now let's go over the product disadvantages and somethings that i personally did not like in the product so the preservative that they have used so they have used something called the diazondryi don't know how to pronounce it urea so the problem with this preservative is that in higher concentration.

It is capable of releasing formaldehyde you know which you don't want but i'm sure that in preservative quantitie sright it is much more lower so it's nothing to be scared about also it can be a little sensitizing so if you have sensitive skin you know you might want to do a patch test regardless you have to do a patch test whenever you're introducing a new product you can just do a patch test here or here whatever you prefer i also want to show you the product now.

I want to talk about the packaging here because it is important and they have also addressed it so the packaging as you can see it's a clear bottle but with ascorbic acid as we just discussed right it is highly unstable so I generally keep it in a very darkcup board and in the room that i sleep in there's like no windows basically um you know there's no sunlight affecting it and even then the product has started turning yellow and i've opened it maybe like 20or 21 days ago.

Now so when the product starts turning yellow right it starts losing its efficacy so that is why it is important that vitamin c is always packaged in a dark bottle or in a translucent bottle right those are one of those translucent white bottles that we see i think dermaco has taken note because today when i went to their website the same product is listed in a translucent bottle so there is nothing you know that that has to be taken care in that regard if you order this now it's going to be in a translucent bottle already i also want to show you the consistency of the product very quickly so you see it's a very runny consistency because water is the first ingredient in the product uh which is a good thing because aloe vera doesn't suit everyone right other kind of solvents might not suit everyone but water you know we need water to survive.

So water suits everyone because we are alive and all now on the product disadvantages i just have two ingredients in the product that i donot like number one we already talked about it uh the urea that has been used as preservative and the second is perfume the problem with perfume in actives is that actives are actually designed to be you know absorbing and uh you your skin can already become more sensitive because of actives now if you put fragrance in something which is active you know what's the point you're making it more sensitive you don't even need fragrance like in you know in an active based product so that is something that i do not like about the product personally i did not see any kind of inflammation any kind of reaction to this.

I've been using vitamin c for a very long time okay i've been using it since i was 25um i think and uh now i'm 31 i've been using it six years old right it's really effective i know there has been mixed feelings about if it is effective and if it is not effective but personally i've seen a difference in how my skin reacts when i use a vitamin c versus when i do not so definitely love a vitamin c serum this serum has worked beautifully for me and i'm also going to tell you how i've been using it okay so that you don't go and buy 20 and put directly on your face now let's go over the product use and how are you supposed to use the product again there has been mixed reviews on whether you should be wearing vitamin c in the morning or notum whether vitamin c is any effective whether you should have it in your skincare or not whether you should be wearing it at night or not and i'll just tell you my personal personally personal opinion and let you decide for yourself.

How i wear vitamin c how i have woear vitamin c in the past six years i wear it in the morning as a protection and i wear it in the evening as are generation or as a treatment because with vitamin c even though there search can be contradictory however with vitamin c it is a great antioxidant and with vitamin c and ferulic acid both combined you know what is antioxidant i just want to go over that a little bit and who needs vitamin c so you have free radicals right so you have these molecules and these like some electrons might be missing there so that means that it's going to keep on attaching to whatever also has a free electron to give it to it okay if i remember my chemistry accurately like i have not revised this in like 12 years now i'm just speaking so this is like the free radical damage or the oxidative stress that we talked about if you go out in the sun or if you have pollution right you stay in the city you've been going out a lot then you will see more free radicaldam agein the long run.

you will see its effect in the long run even though your skin personally has like antioxidant capabilities itself but as you start aging those antioxidant capabilities start reducing that's number one and number two is that um the pollution is also increasing right so it's going to be more detrimental to your skin um and then you're fighting with your boss on something right and you have these cortisols releasing which is also oxidative stress so all of these things are going to affect your skin during the daytime and that is why it's important that you protect not only using a sunscreen but also using an antioxidant vitamin c is a great antioxidant however they also have ferulic acid which is another great antioxidant because of hyaluronic acid that will help you protect the moisture barrier also as well right so all in all i like all the ingredients in this particular product in the evening vitamin c can or cannot have brightening effects rightuh so there is like contradictory studies as to if the vitamin c molecule is even big enough to penetrate however in the products that i've used and that have worked for me.

I did see a brightening effect after continued use over 30 days period 30 or you know 35 days period i did see a change which is a bigthing because i do suffer acne scarring you know pigmentation all those kind of different things so i do think vitamin c personally um has been very effective for me going back to the product who should be using it i would recommend 21 plusadults only and i would recommend that you do not start with this is not a big nurse product because it is the highest concentration of vitamin c that is allowed in over-the-counter products so you can start with something which is five to ten percent and uh then you can move on to this product overall in my personally personal opinion.

It's a five-star product just because it is so effective and if they reduce the perfume from it i think it will be the best vitamin c that is available in india because such a stabilized form with so many good antioxidants and humectants and also change the preservatives um then it's going to be really effective and it's going to suit everyone now people with sensitive skin you know my peer group they should definitely do a patch test that is number one number two is that use a technique so how i've been using this product and how i started using this product for the 15 days or so was mixing it in my moisturizer so i do use seamed clear gel that has that i've been using for the past 20 or 25 days now and i mix it a few drops like four or five drops in the gel and then apply it to my face.

You can also mix it in moisturizer but then it will not penetrate as effectively so that's the point right that is why you want some water-based moisturizer maybe you can also use sugand a white lot us moisturizer that is also a good one so now as you can see the product has started losing its efficacyum when you see this light yellow color right the product is still potent but it might not be 20now it might be like 10 because um that vitamin c has started to break down and now with vitamin c right so in the morning if you're wearing it right you have to wear a sunscreen with it because as we talked about the bottle the formula is highly photo unstableand if you do not wear a sunscreen on top of it then it's going to break down on your face definitely wear a sunscreen when you're wearing this all right i thought it was going to be a short article but turns out not and it's going to be a long article but yeah it was nice talking to you i'll talk to you again tomorrow with a skincare article.
