Double C Serum

Our Double C Serum combines water soluble ultrafine L-Ascorbic Acid powder with oil soluble Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate in an anhydrous (water-free) silicone base for high potency and stability.

Based on a study by Drs. Fitzpatrick and Rostan published in Dermatological Surgery, March 2002 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11896774?dopt=AbstractPlus), using 10% Ascorbic Acid and 7% Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, a lipid soluble analog. These are combined in an anhydrous polysilicone gel base which acts as a “dermal patch” releasing the water soluble acid slowly and the lipid soluble analog rapidly.

This is the “basic” version – a duplication of the ingredients used in the study referenced above.
