Description

Get your glow on with Apothekari Bespoke Vitamin C 15% Serum (30 ml/1 fl oz)! Brighten, strengthen & hydrate with a made to order Vitamin C antioxidant serum for radiant, luminous & healthy skin.

Apothekari Bespoke Vitamin C 15% Serum now contains Green Tea Extract, with a high concentration of EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate). This potent antioxidant helps repair damage caused by UVA radiation and helps prevent damaging mutations. EGCG has also been shown to help control blemishes by minimizing sebum (oil) secretion thereby helping to keep pores open.

Our Apothekari Bespoke Vitamin C 15% Serum is a made to order Vitamin C serum featuring L-ascorbic acid plus an arsenal of antioxidants, moisturizing and other skin beneficial ingredients. L-ascorbic acid is a highly effective form of Vitamin C that is backed by the most clinical studies of any form of Vitamin C to support its use in skin care.

The 15% concentration offers significant benefits and is suitable for all skin types, however, you may wish to consider our Apothekari Bespoke Vitamin C 10% Serum, if you have sensitive skin. It contains the same active ingredients but with a smaller concentration of L-ascorbic acid and may be better suited to your skin care needs.

Why Apothekari Bespoke?

Because each Apothekari Bespoke treatment is manufactured by our compounding pharmacy when you place your order, you can be assured that the treatment you receive is stable, active and safe to use. This is especially important with L-ascorbic acid because while it is the form of Vitamin C backed by the most clinical research, it can be unstable if formulated incorrectly.

Each bottle has a best before use of 6 months, which will be indicated on your bottle. We recommend that you order a new bottle when you have finished your supply. Used as recommended, one 30 ml/1 fl oz bottle should last between 3 to 6 months. It is not necessary, but you can refrigerate your serum if you wish.

Clinical studies have shown that L-ascorbic acid (plus the other actives in Apothekari Bespoke Vitamin C 15% Serum) can do the following for your skin:

• Exfoliate (due to its acidity)
• 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)
• Controls oil production helping to prevent blocked pores and minimize blemishes
• Moisturize

Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant and in our Bespoke treatment, it is supported by a range of highly effective antioxidants, which not only help to stabilize Vitamin C, but also deliver benefits of their own.
