Active Concentrates Booster with Vitamin C & Ferulic Acid

VITAMIN C: also known as ascorbic acid, it is a water-soluble vitamin and a powerful antioxidant which is able to counteract the effects of skin aging thanks also to its photoprotective properties. With its whitening action, it inhibits tyrosine synthesis, which is a precursor to melanin. It has anti-inflammatory properties especially in case of erythema due to excessive sun exposure. Vitamin C keeps the optimal collagen density in the dermis. Some biochemical studies have shown that vitamin C acts as co-factor for lysine and prolyl hydroxylase, two enzymes which are essential for collagen biosynthesis.

FERULIC ACID: It has a strong antioxidant effect, and when this ingredient is combined with vitamins C and E, its antioxidant effect is enhanced, which can reduce the damage to the skin caused by oxidative stress, thereby helping to slow down skin aging. It can also achieve the effect of whitening by protecting the skin from environmental damage, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and inhibiting the production of melanin.
