If you love our Apothekari Bespoke Vitamin C Serums, you’ll be interested to know that we have recently reformulated to include green tea extract or EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), a potent antioxidant that aids in repair of damage caused by UVA radiation and helps prevent damaging mutations. EGCG also helps control blemishes by controlling sebum (oil) secretion thereby helping to keep pores open.
Our Bespoke Vitamin C Serum is offered in both a 10% and 15% concentration and each bottle is made to order by our compounding pharmacy partner just for you. This process helps us to guarantee the stability, potency and safety of the serums, which contain high concentrations of L-ascorbic acid, the form of Vitamin C backed by the most clinical research to support its usefulness in skin care. While this form of Vitamin C delivers, it can be unstable if formulated incorrectly and has the potential to oxidize and lose its efficacy upon exposure to light and air.
Each bottle of Apothekari Bespoke Vitamin C Serum has a best before use date of 6 months, which will be noted on your label. If used as recommended, one 30 ml/1 fl oz bottle should last between 3 to 6 months. Although not necessary, you may refrigerate your serum if you wish.
What Can Green Tea & Vitamin C Do For Skin?
Antioxidant serums like Apothekari Bespoke Vitamin C Serum are a fantastic addition to your skin care regimen because they fight free radical damage generated by exposure to UV radiation and pollution.
However, these serums don’t stop there because in addition to L-ascorbic acid and green tea, we’ve added a range of additional potent antioxidants including ferulic acid, vitamin e, astaxanthin, lycopene, lutein and alpha lipoic acid. Pomegranate seed oil delivers essential fatty acids, moisture and extra antioxidant support. Glycerin and hyaluronic acid moisturize and soothe.
Clinical studies have shown that the ingredients in this formulation can help to:
- Exfoliate
- Restore elasticity to aging skin
- Promote collagen synthesis
- Protect against UV damage caused by free radicals
- Reduce skin redness
- Promote wound healing
- Lighten and brighten skin tone (by suppressing melanin synthesis)
- Moisturize
We are very excited to share this product with you!
