Lancôme launches the world's first vitamin C serum

Ask any beauty editor or dermatologist what topical antioxidant ingredients they recommend looking for, and vitamin C will most likely be mentioned. That's because vitamin C has skin benefits that are truly worth it. Among these benefits? The skin is softer and looks visibly brighter.

There are more vitamin C serums, concentrates and creams on the market today than we could count. Some of them do not have a high concentration of the ingredient, or the product may come in a clear bottle. Because vitamin C can be destroyed by the sun, any product containing this ingredient must be in a dark bottle to ensure long-term effectiveness. As Dr. Michael Kaminer, certified dermatologist and Skincare.com consultant, once told Skincare.com, some vitamin C products are not backed by enough scientific evidence. His recommendation? Find one that is. And that's where we'd like to draw your attention to Lancôme's upcoming Vitamin C product launch: Visionnaire Skin Solutions 15% Night Concentrate Vitamin C. Read on to find out how Visionnaire Skin Solutions 15% Corrective Vitamin C Concentrate can benefit your skin.

What is Lancôme Visionnaire Skin Solutions 15% Vitamin C Correcting Concentrate?

Lancôme Visionnaire Vitamin C Correcting Concentrate is one of the latest additions to the Lancôme Visionnaire product line. The formula contains 15% pure vitamin C, as well as hyaluronic acid and jasmonate derivatives. This is the first fragrance of its kind for Lancôme, so the upcoming launch is especially exciting. No less interesting are the benefits of the product, which we will discuss later.

What are the benefits of Lancôme Visionnaire Vitamin C Correction Concentrate?

Vitamin C has long been a favorite in skincare. He can boast many benefits, including brightening the appearance of the skin, as well as helping to provide antioxidant protection. It is also (as the name suggests) the main ingredient in Lancôme Visionnaire's Vitamin C Correction Concentrate. The formula helps to improve the appearance of the skin, making it fresher and softer. With continued use over time, you can expect a revitalized complexion, improved skin firmness, and more even skin tone.

We haven't got our hands on the formula yet, but in a consumer survey of 52 participants, 83% agreed their skin looked more radiant after 10 days of overnight use in a 4-week study.

How to use Lancôme Visionnaire Vitamin C Correcting Concentrate

Many vitamin C serums are designed to be used in the morning in combination with a broad spectrum sunscreen. However, this particular formula should be applied in the evening and a broad spectrum sunscreen should be used in the morning. To use, place 3-5 drops of the concentrate in the palm of your hand and apply to a clean, dry face. Let it absorb and then apply your night cream.
