Introduction About VC X SERUM
VCx Serum is a combination of antioxidants used for ageing skin. It contains vitamin C, vitamin E, and ferulic acid as active ingredients that benefit individuals with signs of photodamaged/ageing skin (dryness, dull complexion, rough texture, fine lines, wrinkles, age spots) and melasma/hyperpigmentation.
Vitamin C is essential for the making of collagen and is thought to have an antiaging effect. Vitamin E and ferulic acid act as an antioxidant and protects the skin from the action of free radicals (chemicals that cause the skin to become uneven and show other signs of ageing such as uneven skin tone and fine lines).
Always use VCx Serum as advised by your physician. It is for external use only. Avoid direct contact with your eyes. If any contact with the eyes occurs, immediately wash the eyes thoroughly with water.
