Stabilised Vitamin C (3-O Ethyl Ascorbic Acid; Et-VC™) Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the skin from the damaging effects of free radicals caused by UV rays, pollution and other external influences. Another important benefit of vitamin C is its role in the body's formation of collagen by stimulating the production of this protein. The vitamin C compound used by La Vifolie is very long-lasting compared to other vitamin C derivatives and is therefore particularly effective in terms of stimulating collagen synthesis. More collagen means softer, more elastic skin with fewer wrinkles. Vitamin C can also help reduce hyperpigmentation and dark circles under the eyes as it inhibits the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for colouring the skin. Studies show that ascorbyl glucoside can even work against age spots. Vitamin C is a highly potent antioxidant that effectively protects the skin from oxidative stress caused by free radicals and the resulting photo-ageing. It is one of the most powerful anti-ageing vitamins with a diverse repertoire of effects.
