Juice Beauty’s PREBIOTIX Freshly Squeezed Glow, Vitamin C Serum is expertly crafted with a remarkable concentration of 20% Vitamin C in its most effective form: ascorbic acid. Unlike many other serums that rely on synthetic dyes to mask discoloration, this serum undergoes a natural color transformation over time, which may result in a noticeable shift to a deeper orange hue. If you have been searching for innovative skincare products that promote a luminous and radiant complexion, you’ve come to the right place!
 

Understanding the Stability and Benefits of Ascorbic Acid

Ascorbic acid, while incredibly effective, is also known for its instability and tendency to break down due to a process known as oxidation. This phenomenon can be exacerbated by exposure to light, oxygen, and various chemical elements. To combat this, our natural Vitamin C Serum has been meticulously formulated with several strategic features to enhance its longevity and effectiveness:

• Infused with powerful antioxidants, including Vitamin E and ferulic acid. Research indicates that the synergistic combination of Vitamins C, E, and ferulic acid significantly outperforms the benefits of Vitamins C and E combined or ferulic acid alone. Learn More
• Designed with an acid-based formula to create an optimal environment that protects the stability of Vitamin C
• Utilized in an opaque bottle to block light exposure that accelerates oxidation
• Engineered with an airless component to minimize air contact that contributes to oxidation

These intelligent design choices effectively slow the oxidation process, although it cannot be entirely prevented. As ascorbic acid oxidizes, the serum will gradually darken in color. The early stages of this oxidation involve transforming ascorbic acid into dehydroascorbic acid. Our Vitamin C Serum is rich in antioxidants, which helps minimize these early oxidation stages and maintain serum integrity.

It’s crucial to highlight that any change in color does not indicate the serum has become harmful or unsafe for use. To maintain the potency of your Vitamin C serum and reduce the rate of oxidation, we recommend storing it in a cool, dark place and ensuring the container is tightly sealed to limit exposure to light, water, and oxygen.

Given the high concentration of Vitamin C (20%) in Juice Beauty PREBIOTIX Freshly Squeezed Glow, users will likely observe a more pronounced color change compared to formulations with lower levels of ascorbic acid. The intensity of this color change correlates directly with the serum’s initial Vitamin C concentration, so these variations are entirely normal! Juice Beauty utilizes an airless opaque component and incorporates ferulic acid and vitamin E to guarantee the serum’s efficacy remains intact for at least six months after opening.

Juice Beauty’s dedicated scientific team recognizes that a serum undergoing oxidation can potentially lead to staining on the skin, nails, or fingers. To maximize the benefits of your Vitamin C serum and ensure optimal absorption, we provide these pro tips for a straightforward post-application routine:

Pro-tip: Proper exfoliation before applying a Vitamin C Serum can enhance your skin’s texture, resulting in a smooth, even complexion.

Immediately after applying any product containing ascorbic acid, consider layering oils and creams to create a protective barrier that shields the Vitamin C from air exposure until it is fully absorbed into the skin. It is especially advantageous to use a high-antioxidant moisturizer or oil, such as any Juice Beauty organic ingredients moisturizer.

Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly with soap right after applying the serum to avoid any potential staining of your fingers.
