Pro-C

Skin Brightening Serum
(pH 4.0 – 5.5)

Vitamin C has been proven to promote collagen production, reduce hyperpigmentation, strengthen the skin’s natural barrier, repair the effect of sun damage, lessen hyperpigmentation, and prevent environmental damage. In addition to the benefits of vitamin C, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate has been proven to stimulate the production of glycosaminoglycans, proteins that hydrate the skin. This form of vitamin C is also gentle and can be tolerated by those with highly sensitive skin.

Features and Benefits

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate
Stable, oil-soluble Vitamin C ester. Provides antioxidant activity (inhibiting lipid peroxidation), UV-A and UV-B protection, clarifying and brightening activity (inhibiting melanogenesis), and stimulation of collagen production.

SYN®-COLL
Small peptide that mimics the human body’s own mechanism to produce collagen via TGF-β. In vitro testing in human fibroblasts showed a 119% increase in collagen synthesis. In vivo tests showed a 350% improvement in wrinkles compared to placebo.

SYN®-AKE
Anti-wrinkle compound based on a synthetic tripeptide that mimcs the effect of Waglerin 1, a peptide that is found in the venom of the Temple Viper. Smoothes mimics wrinkles in a short period.

PEPHA®-TIGHT
Highly purified biotechnologically produced extract from the microalga Nannochloropsis oculata combined with a well-balanced fraction of polysaccharides. Provides a noticeable instant tightening effect and smoothes fine wrinkles. As shown in in vitro assays, protects skin cells from oxidative stress and simultaneously increases the formation of collagen-I.

Botanical Complex SCA™
A proprietary, water-soluble blend of nettle, melissa, elderflower, cleavers and plantain extracts known for their astringent and anti-inflammatory action.

Botanical Complex LSCD™
A proprietary, oil soluble blend of burdock, elderflower, lavender, calendula and cleavers extracts known for their anti-inflammatory action.

Canadian Willowherb™
A natural, anti-irritant extract from Northern Canadian Prairies plants. Proven in clinical research to have strong antibacterial activity. Independent tests in human subjects show a strong reduction of chemical and UV-induced skin redness within 30 minutes of use.

Wasabi Extract
Obtained from the roots of the Wasabia Japonica plant indigenous to Japan. Contains a very high concentration of Sinigrin, a potent antioxidant that has been shown to directly inhibit oxidative reactions in DNA. Undergoing scientific examination for its potential neoplastic (anti-skin cancer) properties.

Mixed Tocopherols 95%
A potent blend of chirally correct, natural, full-spectrum tocopherols and tocotrienols. Provides significantly more effective broad spectrum epidermal and dermal antioxidant protection than standard tocopherols. Halts the formation of free radicals upon skin with exposure to UVA radiation and other sources of oxidative stress. Reduces trans epidermal water loss and strengthen skin’s barrier function.
