With retinoids, form matters more than percentage.
ㅤ
Each form of Vitamin A sits at a different point on the path to Retinoic Acid, the form skin can use. The more conversion steps a form needs, the gentler and less potent it is.
ㅤ
Before you buy, consider the form, the formula and what your skin can tolerate today. Our trained Dermastore® skin therapists can help you decode any formula.

Pure L-Ascorbic Acid is the most researched form of topical Vitamin C, and one of the most demanding to formulate.
ㅤ
It needs the right pH to pe*****te, a stable formula to stay effective, and packaging that keeps oxygen out.

Our recommendations:
ㅤ
• SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic®
The patented formula born from Duke University research.

A percentage is only part of the picture. Whether an active works depends just as much on its form, pH, stability, delivery system and vehicle.
ㅤ
Past a certain point, many actives add irritation without adding benefit. That's why "Vitamin C doesn't work for me" is often a formulation problem, not a skin problem.

Deschampsia Antarctica.

One of the few plants tough enough to survive the extreme conditions of Antarctica - intense cold, strong UV exposure and a seriously unforgiving environment.

Over time, this hardy little grass developed its own sophisticated defence mechanisms to survive environmental stress.

You’ll find the technology inspired by it, EDAFENCE®, inside Endocare Radiance C Ferulic EDAFENCE® Serum. It also contains naturally occurring flavonoid derivatives, including luteolin and apigenin, studied for their ability to support the skin barrier and help protect against pollution-related damage.

EDAFENCE® joins Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Ferulic Acid in a creamy, lightweight serum-gel that makes daily antioxidant protection feel particularly good on the skin.
