What is Potent C skin care serum?
Potent C is a Vitamin C serum that contains a host of powerful vitamin and antioxidants to nourish the skin. The Vitamin C serum packed full of active ingredients that are backed by scientific evidence. This unique product is exclusively designed by me and made by Belgravia Dermatology London.
What is the background to developing Potent C skin care serum?
In the 20 years that I have been practising medicine, there has been an explosion in skin care products. It’s become so confusing for patients and consumers, and doctors alike! In an article I wrote on Non Surgical Aesthetic Rejuvenation of the Face, I stated:
A myriad of products is available on the market and this causes confusion for consumers and physicians alike.
There are so many questions –
- Do you need a separate product in the day and at night?
- Do you need different products for the eyes, face, neck and chest?
- How many serums should you use?
- Should you layer?
- Which order should you layer them in?
- And the list goes on
It was my mission to create one simple product that was effective and could be used by both men and women who wanted to do the most they could for their skin – while keeping their skin care manageable.
I spent two years researching and combining the ingredients which I had been recommending to patients for over 15 years. Vitamin C is a key ingredient that should be in everyone’s regime. The ingredients which I had seen helped patients the most and had scientific evidence backing them.
Keeping skin care simple
Potent C Skin Care serum can be used twice a day with your usual cleanser, moisturiser and sun screen.
Once you have cleansed, apply Potent C to your skin, and then apply a moisturiser, make up, sun screen or nothing at all.
Potent C can be used on the eyelids, face, neck and chest. This means you don’t need separate products for each body area.
A unique and strong blend of ingredients
Just take a look at the ingredients below, and the benefits they bring to the skin:Vitamin C
Unless there is an exceptionally good reason not to, everyone can benefit from using something with Vitamin C on their skin. Taking it in pill form is far less effective for your skin as the body removes it before it reaches the skin.
Clinical studies have supported that using Vitamin C after a minimum period of 6 months will lead to:
- Improved appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Less pigmentation – more even skin tone, fewer areas of unevenness, fewer dark patches
- Fewer signs of sun damage – less pigmentation and redness from sun exposure
- Less inflammation in the skin
How?
Vitamin C stops collagen in the skin from breaking down by being an antioxidant. It also boosts the production of new collagen.
It reduces the amount of melanin (skin pigmentation) made. It blocks the enzyme tyrosinase that is responsible for making new pigmentation.
It reduces sun-induced redness and sun-induced DNA damage.
It’s anti-inflammatory and reduces the build up of chemicals such as nuclear transcription factor kappa B (NFkB). Vitamin C can help conditions where inflammation is a problem such as rosacea, acne, and folliculitis.Vitamin B3
This is a hardworking skin multitasker also known as nicotinaminde. On the skin it will:
- Hydrate it, make it feel softer and smoother, and reduce greasiness.
- Reduce pigmented blemishes
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines
- Improve the complexion
How?
Studies show that nicotinamide reduces the evaporation of water (even more than vaseline) and increases the ceramides (good fats), yet slows down grease (sebum) production. This is one of the few products out there that can do this super combination.
It reduces pigmentation. stopping melanin from spreading from outside the cells that make it.
It reduces NFK-beta and AP-1 so stops inflamed papules and pustules. Some studies show that nictinamide is as powerful as topical antibiotics
It stops glycation – sugar binding to proteins. This preserves proteins and reduces the yellowing of the complexion.
It also boosts collagen production reducing the appearance of fine lines.Vitamin B5
It has super hydrating properties, making it the perfect match for thirsty skin. It improves elasticity along with improving the skin’s natural defences. This means it promotes a youthful complexion while protecting skin from everyday environmental pressures.Vitamin E
A superstar antioxidant, Vitamin E neutralises free radicals that can damage skin cells, collagen, and DNA, leading to common signs of ageing. It can also help reduce sun and other skin damage, increase hydration levels, and boost the effects of Vitamin C.Ferulic acid
This powerful plant-based acid has incredible antioxidant properties, making it an impressive active ingredient in the fight against ageing. It has also been found to protect skin against common environmental pressures, improve hydration, and increase the efficacy of other antioxidants like Vitamin C and Vitamin E.Peptides
These amino acids act as protein building blocks within skin cells. When applied topically to the skin, Peptides help to stimulate collagen production. They are one of the most powerful ingredients available for improving the appearance of tired and worn looking skin.
