This seems to contain the most powerful C vitamin derivatives for brightening as far as I managed to read in such short-amount of time, I can only assume the manufacturer used an appropriate formulation to keep it stable heh.
Ethyl Ascorbic acid itself is very stable.
Hah interesting, quite opposite of what I read for EAC and similar for AA which is also in this product – http://thebeautybrains.com/2014/05/which-kind-of-vitamin-c-is-best-for-skin-the-beauty-brains-show-episode-31/ – (there’s a list on bottom) I’ve got no idea on credibility of these guys and it might also be outdated info, anyway good news as I already ordered it lol, thank you!
Not sure what where they’re getting their info from as they’re plenty of published data on 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (or Ethyl Ascorbic Acid). Not sure why they’re calling it “3-O-Ethyl Ascorbate” either. As far as I know, that’s not the chemical or INCI name… maybe that’s why they couldn’t find data on it. Here’s some detailed info on it http://www.cosmeticsandtoiletries.com/formulating/function/active/premium-3-O-Ethyl-Ascorbic-Acid-A-Stable-Vitamin-C-Derived-Agent-for-Skin-Whitening-225540872.html
Swell link! May I ask if you take any supplements, besides perhaps collagen (of which I saw you tweeted a study not a long time ago)?
I used to take astaxanthin for a while during summer a year or two ago juts for the “accidental exposure”, not saying it was smart to use it as alternative to/skip daily sunscreen, but I did notice it made a difference as opposed to not doing anything in that regard. Will try to read more about it on that site. Thanks!
I think it’s working, but I’ll have to wait another week to be 100% sure, I also find the smell one of the best ever, Oxy’s is also great..I noticed you always comment on the product’s scent so I went searching on C&T and somehow stumbled on this article (http://www.fragrancesoftheworld.com/downloads/3_Fragrance_Perception_Laura_Donna_Is_Everything_Relative.pdf) – do you orient yourself by this fragrance “wheel” or do you use something else? Or like most people you just test as many perfumes as you can through their 3 notes?
Thanks!
Thanks for the interesting article! I’ve never given much thought on fragrance to be honest. For site’s product info listings, I simple go by what the manufacturer is calling it. Personally, I don’t like the smell of lavender and I find the fragrance used in many French skincare brands (Vichy, La Roche-Posay, Avene, Garnier) to be very off-putting.
Me neither – I’ve never even bought one lol, I (did) own a couple of them and use only 2 but one is more for cold weather and personally I don’t think it’s for everyday wear and the other one is not bad but nothing exciting either + it’s nearly finished.
I like her male guide, not sure if this will help as I have no idea if these are available in Japan but yeah I’ll leave it just in case – http://www.basenotes.net/features/3322-the-top-ten-female-designer-fragrances-every-beginner-should-sample
Does anybody know the percentage of vitamin C (or any of its derivatives) in this lotion?
