Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant which works to protect your skin from free radicals which are generated in your skin during and after exposure to UV light from the sun. In its L-ascorbic acid form, vitamin C can soak through the layers of your skin to offer its beneficial mechanism of action to the deeper layers. Here, its antioxidant properties can have a more pronounced effect in combating the visible signs of ageing, such as fine lines and wrinkles.
Topical application of vitamin C not only protects your skin from UV related damage and enhanced ageing, it plays a vital role in collagen production in your skin. Collagen is responsible for your skin’s firmness and elasticity and so Obagi Professional-C 20% is designed to improve skin’s plumpness and promote a healthy youthful glow.
Fortified with Hyaluronic Acid
To enhance the skin-firming effects of L-ascorbic acid, this serum also contains hyaluronic acid. This is a clever molecule that binds to water in your skin and locks it in, preventing dryness and further encouraging a plump and rejuvenated look to your skin.
Effective Against Hyperpigmentation
Obagi Professional-C Serum 20% works to brighten the appearance of hyperpigmented skin and dark spots, to push a radiant and even skin tone. Not only does this serum improve skin tone, it works to enhance the skin’s texture as well.
How it Works
This revolutionary anti-ageing cream from Obagi contains a 10% concentration of L-ascorbic acid. This revitalising compound penetrates down into the deeper layers of your skin, neutralising free radicals produced from over exposure to the sun and the natural processes of ageing. The clever mechanism of action prevents damage to dry, reactive skin and slows down the ageing process. Furthermore, L-ascorbic acid is essential for the cross-linking of new collagen molecules and prevents trans-epidermal water loss. This ensures your skin remains plump and hydrated; leaving your skin looking younger and firmer.
Professional Strength Concentrations
From the Obagi products range, you are offered four different concentrations of Obagi Vitamin C Serums, each with a different concentration of L-ascorbic acid. For those with dry and sensitive skin, Obagi Professional-C Serum 10% is perfect. Alternatively, suitable for most skin types, but with a high performance mechanism of action, the Obagi Professional-C Serum 15% is ideal. For those with normal to oily skin, the advanced scientifically formulated Obagi Professional-C Serum 20% would be the preferred choice. Make sure to speak with your skin care specialist when choosing from our different concentrations to determine which one is right for your skin.
