Key Ingredients
Pure Vitamin C – 21%
The Ascorbic Acid is the pure form of vitamin C present at a stated concentration of 21%.
It is particularly valued in skincare products intended to improve complexion radiance and the appearance of dark spots.
3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid – 2%
The formula also contains 2% 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, a derivative and stabilized form of vitamin C.
Combining these two forms of vitamin C helps target radiance and skin tone uniformity.
Panthenol – 2%
The panthenol, also known as provitamin B5, contributes to maintaining skin hydration and comfort.
Ferulic Acid – 0.5%
The ferulic acid is an antioxidant used in the formula to complement the antioxidant action of vitamin C and vitamin E.
Vitamin E – 0.1%
The tocopherol, or vitamin E, provides complementary antioxidant action.
Allantoin
Allantoin helps soothe and maintain skin comfort.
Beta-glucan
Beta-glucan contributes to maintaining hydration and preserving skin comfort.
Botanical extracts
The formula notably contains extracts of broccoli, turmeric, and pineapple, as well as Sphingomonas ferment.
For which skin type?
The Medicube AGE-R Vita C Pro Ampoule is suitable for various skin types, particularly skin that is:
- Dull and lacking radiance
- Showing an uneven complexion
- With visible dark spots
- Looking to integrate an antioxidant treatment into its routine
- Mature or concerned about the first visible signs of aging
Due to its high concentration of pure vitamin C and the presence of denatured alcohol and fragrance, very sensitive skin may require a gradual introduction.
How to use the product?
- Thoroughly cleanse the face.
- Apply a toner.
- Apply 2 to 3 drops of the ampoule to the face and neck.
- Avoid the immediate eye area.
- Spread gently and pat until completely absorbed.
- Finish with a moisturizer.
The ampoule can be used in a morning or evening routine.
Usage Tip
Since the product contains a high concentration of ascorbic acid, it is best to start gradually if your skin is not accustomed to products with high vitamin C concentrations.
For morning use, apply SPF 30 to 50 sunscreen afterward to complete your skincare routine.
To best preserve the vitamin C, store the product away from direct sunlight and heat. Some retailers also recommend storage in the refrigerator to limit oxidation.
Precautions for use
- For external use only.
- Avoid contact with eyes.
- Do not apply to damaged or irritated skin.
- In case of persistent irritation, discontinue use.
- Sensitive skin should introduce the product gradually.
- Store away from direct sunlight.
