This combination antioxidant serum is formulated under the Duke Antioxidant patent. Vitamin C is a highly-potent antioxidant that by its structure has difficultly being effectively absorbed by skin. The Duke Antioxidant patent outlines the formulation parameters required for effective delivery of vitamin C to skin:
1) pure l-ascorbic acid (vitamin C);
2) an acidic pH within the 2.0-3.5 pH range and;
3) a concentration between 10%-20%.
Directions: Once in the morning after cleansing, place 4-5 drops in palm of hand. Using fingertips, apply to a dry face, neck, and chest.
Caution: If irritation occurs due to the concentration of vitamin C, space applications until skin is acclimated. For external use only. Avoid direct contact with the eyes.
