In vivo efficacy of a stabilized Vitamin C‐based serum at <scp>pH 6</scp> on some ageing facial signs of women of different ages and phototypes
If certain changes in some skin facial signs (skin tone and related items, firmness, sagging…) are linked to the high concentration of VC, a complementary impact of increased skin hydration remains possible due to the glycerol present in the serum and hydrating cream. These significant performance results in vivo showed that a very acidic medium (∼pH 3) is not a prerequisite to an efficient VC cosmetic formula, as has long been accepted in the cosmetics industry. Such a low pH can fragilize the skin equilibrium over time. As second originality, the studied formula seemed to fit all phototypes.
