Antioxidant Mechanism of Action | Power of Vitamins C+E
–
–
Environmental stressors like pollution, UV rays, and other toxins are detrimental to the skin, forming free radicals that damage healthy cells. These free radicals attack cellular DNA; damage presents as inflammation on the surface of the skin, where melanin granules also form to reveal what we know as “dark spots.”
–
–
Degradation of collagen and elastin proteins occurs in the dermis layer of the skin, weakening the skin and- in turn- leading to lines and wrinkles.

Nourish your skin this season with Kevin’s December pick, the Vitamin B3 Brightening Serum. Its main and one of the most sought out ingredients, 6% Niacinamide(Vitamin B3), works as a potent- yet calming- anti-oxidant, anti-aging, and anti-inflammatory ingredient- perfect for managing sensitive skin and all forms of discoloration and inflamed acne. This advanced formulation effectively reduces skin discoloration, redness, and glycation-related skin yellowing, leaving the complexion even and bright: Brightens dark spots and evens skin tone by inhibiting melanogenesis Blocks the glycation (glycation: deteriorating of cell-turnover and slower collagen production) process to minimize age-related skin yellowing and dullness Boosts barrier function to reduce redness Key Ingredients and Functionality: *Niacinamide (6%) – a potent, yet calming antioxidant that delivers multiple important benefits to the skin. It helps to reduce transepidermal water loss and improve barrier function. When your barrier is strong, our skin is less hypersensitive. This is critical for healthy, bright skin.

Mulberry Extract, Green Tea Extract, and Oligopeptide-51 – an advanced ingredient blend that decreases the production of unwanted pigment to brighten skin and produce a clear, even complexion. Plankton Extract – an advanced ingredient derived from a biotechnologically balanced and standardized pool of microalgae actives that have been carefully selected and encapsulated in liposomes. It brightens and evens skin tone while dramatically reducing dark spots and discoloration. Glycerin – a humectant and emollient that helps hydrate the skin. This is an absolute power serum for discoloration that will help enhance your skincare routine right before moisturizing. Great for all skin types, it helps combination, dry, normal, oily, and sensitive skin. After cleansing, toning, and applying any PCA SKIN treatment serums, apply to the entire face and neck for maximum skin brightening and anti-aging benefits.
