A cocktail of three forms of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate and 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid) power the newest brightening moisturizer from Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare. The Skincare Oil-Free Radiant Moisturizer is a lightweight moisturizer that doubles as a serum and it supports glowy skin and brightens dark spots over time.
Dr. Dennis Gross says, "What makes this collection groundbreaking is the combination of vitamin C and lactic acid in the same formula." While Lactic acid improves vitamin C absorption and performance by removing the surface layer of dead skin, replenishing ceramides and GAGs (glycosaminoglycans) serve the purpose of strengthening and repairing the skin’s moisture barrier.
This innovative formula's efficacy aligns with new medical literature that supports lactic acid as a solution for neutralizing free radicals in the lipid phase of skin.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Vitamin C Skincare
- As the benefits of Vitamin C on skin are better understood, there is an opportunity for skincare companies to innovate with Vitamin C formulas for brighter and more radiant skin.
- Dual-purpose Moisturizers
- There is a growing demand for skincare products that have multiple benefits, such as moisturizing and brightening, creating an opportunity for companies to develop more dual-purpose products.
- Lactic Acid for Skincare
- New medical literature supporting lactic acid as a solution for neutralizing free radicals in the lipid phase of skin suggests there is an opportunity for skincare companies to develop more products that include this ingredient.
Sectors Adopting This
- Skincare
- Skincare companies can leverage the benefits of Vitamin C and lactic acid to create innovative products that support brighter and more radiant skin.
- Beauty
- In the beauty industry, there is an opportunity to create more dual-purpose products that combine skincare benefits with makeup, such as moisturizers that also offer SPF protection.
- Health
- As medical literature continues to reveal the benefits of certain skincare ingredients, there is potential for the health industry to explore the use of these ingredients in medical-grade skincare products.
