C+ is the ultimate innovation in urban skincare.
The most sought-after treatments in our clinic are those that address ageing. Therefore, we devote constant attention to understanding how to confront the myriad of aggressors that lead to visible lines, wrinkles, and skin dullness.
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that integrates into the structure of your skin harmoniously, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, aiding in Collagen and Elastin’s synthesis by slowing down the damage caused by free radicals, leaving your complexion plump, radiant and youthful-looking.
Your skin naturally contains antioxidants that defend against free radicals from the environment. These free radicals are unstable molecules that break down cells, causing a cycle of destruction that can lead to premature ageing – when the environmental free radicals outweigh your skin’s antioxidants, your skin is no longer able to protect itself.
Ethyl Ascorbic Acid is an incredibly stable form of Vitamin C that is more readily taken up by your skin cells than any other form, with 85% conversion to pure Ascorbic Acid in the dermis. NZ Totara, Vitamin E and Ferulic Acid are powerful antioxidants that work synergistically as ‘network antioxidants’ to stabilise the Ethyl Ascorbic Acid further, creating a highly potent, long-lasting formula.
We have sought out ingredients with the most advanced regenerative properties within this formula that enhance Vitamin C’s delivery and stability, creating a potent skin treatment that keeps your skin tight, clear, and youthful.
Tip: If you use DNA or A+ Complex, alternate these at night and use C+ in the morning; otherwise, they can cancel out the ingredients’ effectiveness.
What Should You Look For In a Vitamin C Serum?
- to prevent the serum from irritating your skin, it must have a pH that is less than 3.5
- look for a stable form of Vitamin C like Ethyl Ascorbic Acid – unlike L-ascorbic acid, it won’t oxidise in light, heat, or oxygen
- ensure your formula has additional antioxidants to help to stabilise the formula; an added bonus is that the antioxidants will help to protect your skin against oxidative stress
- any Vitamin C serums should be 10% plus for maximal absorption, where it is readily taken up by the skin cells, more than any other direct-acting forms of topical Vitamin C. Ethyl Ascorbic Acid has 85 % conversion to Ascorbic Acid in the deeper layers of the skin – the dermis
Skin Health Benefits

- wards off premature ageing by neutralising free radicals caused by environmental aggressors
- stimulates collagen, particularly collagen type I and type III, for a firmer, plumper more youthful skin

Ingredients
10% Ethyl Ascorbic Acid: The purest form of easily-absorbed Vitamin C, which is more readily taken up by your skin cells than any other form, with 85% conversion to pure Ascorbic Acid in the dermis. It provides exceptional antioxidant protection whilst stimulating collagen production for a radiant and youthful complexion. Powerful antioxidants, Vitamin E and Ferulic Acid, synergistically stabilise the Ethyl Ascorbic Acid to create a highly potent, long-lasting formula.
NZ Totora Extract: A powerhouse antioxidant, Totora wards off premature ageing by restoring and protecting against oxidative stress, lifting pigmentation and improving elasticity and firmness in your skin.
Ferulic Acid: Referred to as the “master” antioxidant, it stabilises Ethyl-Ascorbic Acid within a formula, boosting the utilisation of antioxidants, inhibiting the formation of harmful free radicals.
Vitamin E: Found naturally in the skin, it accumulates at the base of our hair follicles, activating the metabolism of natural lipids to the surface of the skin in the form of sebum, making it excellent for dry, mature skin. Its primary function is to protect against free radicals and UV damage. It’s especially potent when paired with its antioxidant partner, vitamin C.
