What PERCENTAGE of Vit C strength is the serum?
1256375
I'm late seeing this, but I emailed the company in June asking this question and this is the reply they sent: "Thank you for your interest in Mad Hippie! The percentage of Vitamin C needed in skin care products varies depending on the form of Vitamin C used. We use a very stable and bioavailable form of vitamin C called sodium ascorbyl phosphate. Sodium ascorbyl phosphate is approximately twice as effective as L-ascorbic acid, the most commonly used form if Vitamin C used in skin care, which is not utilized as well by the skin. We use approximately a 10% concentration of sodium ascorbyl phosphate, which is equivalent to about a 20% concentration of L-ascorbic acid in its effectiveness. Most of the L-ascorbic acid, when applied, sits on the skin's surface without being absorbed and utilized and often causes irritation as a result. The primary difference is that sodium ascorbyl phosphate, the form of vitamin C that we use, has a salt attached to it, allowing it to penetrate the skin's lipid barrier and making it more bioavailable. This also makes it much more stable and less prone to oxidation, which is a huge problem with L-AA." It's a great serum and company!

This is MJ from La Beaute Pure. That is a great question! Currently our Vitamin C Serum contains almost 20% Vitamin C. Due to adding so many extra botanicals to our product, our manufacturer informed us that to add more would make the product too runny. The good news is that they have just formulated a new serum that will contain a new blend of potent botanicals with extra vitamin C making it 20% The new blend will be stronger yet the same consistency. The new formulation will be ready in a couple of weeks. The best of the best just got better! We will launch the new formula with extra Vitamin C in the next few weeks. Thank you!

This product contains 6 grams of 1,2,3 collagen, not 6mg. This equates to 12% of your daily value. This product contains your complete dosage of vitamin c for the day. The debate is since collagen is a large molecular structure that you can't bottle in any form, that is something to think about. However, when I used the product I noticed I received results within the first 24 hours with my joint pains. That may attribute to the full dosage of vitamin c contained in this product. Use your best judgement in regards to purchasing this product. I would recommend it. Thank you.

100 mcg is one tenth of a milligram for vit K2 and there is also 2 mg of vitamin C. Informed consumers would also want to take some Vit A and Vit D (a min of 2000 IU) along with plenty of Calcium and Magnesium in the diet or pills to have the Vit K do its work.

L-Ascorbic acid (LAA) needs to be at an optimal pH of 3.5 or &lt; to retain efficacy. This serum has Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate or SAP, which is a vitamin C ester, is more stable than LAA, and requires an optimal pH of 5.5 to 6 in a final formulation. Any pH less than that would render it ineffective.

The bottle says serving size 5.4 grams (1.5 teaspoons) 302mg of Natural occurring food source Vit C 503%. I love this brand as it is MUCH better than vitamin C from ascorbic acid (which is good if you need to relieve constipation in young ones. But this Vit c is from acerola berries and doesn't cause diarrhea as with ascorbic acid.

I had the same question and I got the answer from OZ Naturals... here is what they said : Vitamin C serum protects skin cells from free radical damage, helps with cell turnover, gives skin better tone, helps with discoloration of skin, and gives a brighter appearance to the skin. HA serum is designed more for super hydration, aids in collagen production, gives the skin a more supple appearance, and helps to smooth out fine lines. The HA serum is a thicker consistency, while the vitamin c serum is of a thinner consistency...while both have maximum potency benefits. Both products do work well together, but if you can only choose one, choose the product that your skin care needs would best benefit from. Even though there are a few ingredients that are similar, the two main ingredients of each of those serums do not contain the same amounts. For example, the vitamin c serum is a 20% strength of vitamin c, comprising more than 50% of the entire formula of ingredients. The HA serum also contains 20% strength vitamin c, but only makes up 10% of the total ingredients (this is because this serum is primarily made of HA; it's main benefits are not those of a vitamin c serum.) The same goes for the vitamin c serum...it's main intent is to give you the benefits of a vitamin c serum, therefore, only a small percentage of HA is added for moisture. I hope you have the information you need to make your choice. We hope you enjoy our products. Best Regards, Angela, CE

I have used both products and personally I prefer the Vitamin C Serums. I am in my mid 60's and found that Dr Denese's Hydroshield does not give me as much staying power as far as moisture goes. I have also found when I put my moisture cream on top of the Hydroshield everything starts flaking off' but this does not happen with the Vit c Serums.

People tend to use too much product. I use serum from 1/2 oz dispensers and one lasts 2 months. My esthetician tells me I am using the correct amount. Thing is, the vit C goes bad in about three months. so that is why I buy mine in smaller quantities.

Hi Lisa, sorry for the late response - just realized I got this - I've used various Vit C serums including making my own and this is by far the best I've used. It's strong but not too drying and I have been able to keep the wrinkles at bay and reduce some and it gives me a nice all over glow which makes the wrinkles look better anyway. I ran out of my 20% & now have tried the CSS vit c+e (15% C) & hydra gel & also very good products. I'm 50
