# Vitamin-Rich Skin Polishes This Professional-C Polish and Mask Contains 30% L-Ascorbic Acid By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2019-04-10 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skin-polish References: [prnewswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/obagi-medical-announces-the-launch-of-professional-c-microdermabrasion-polish--mask-300826133.html) & [obagi](https://www.obagi.com/patients/product-line/professional-c-products/professionalc-microdermabrasion-polish---mask) Obagi Medical introduced a new skin polish and mask that's a standout in the skincare industry for the fact that it contains [30% L-ascorbic acid](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vitamin-c-23-serum), also known as pure Vitamin C. Due to the fact that Vitamin C is an unstable ingredient and degrades when it is exposed to oxygen, most formulas do not feature it in high concentrations. The Professional-C Microdermabrasion Polish + Mask helps to support skin that is smoother and brighter thanks to dual-action technology that [exfoliates and prepares the skin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brightening-vitamin-c-scrub) for it to absorb Vitamin C. The [radiance-boosting skincare product](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illuminating-radiant-vitamin-c-serum) is also beneficial for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as conditioning the skin and reducing dryness, acting as an all-in-one solution that prepares and treats skin with potent ingredients that are suitable for all skin types and tones. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **High-concentration Vitamin C Skincare:** The trend of using skincare products with high concentrations of Vitamin C offers disruptive innovation opportunities in the beauty industry. - **Dual-action Exfoliating Technology:** The trend of incorporating dual-action exfoliating technology in skincare products opens up disruptive innovation opportunities for companies looking to create effective and efficient skin preparation solutions. - **All-in-one Skincare Solutions:** The trend of creating all-in-one skincare products with multiple benefits presents disruptive innovation opportunities for companies aiming to simplify skincare routines and cater to a wider range of consumer needs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Beauty and Skincare:** The beauty and skincare industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by developing high-concentration Vitamin C products and all-in-one skincare solutions. - **Technology:** The technology industry has the potential to disrupt the beauty and skincare market by creating advanced dual-action exfoliating technologies for enhanced skin preparation. - **Pharmaceutical and Cosmeceutical:** The pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by developing stable formulations and delivery systems for high-concentration Vitamin C skincare products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Premium Vitamin C Scrubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vitamin-c-scrubs.md) - [High-Potency Vitamin C Formulations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highpotency-vitamin-c.md) - [Potent Vitamin C Serums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/svr-c-antiox.md) - [Pure Vitamin C Serums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pure-c-serum.md) - [Clean Vitamin C Serums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mychelle-perfect-c.md) - [Brightening Vitamin C Scrubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brightening-vitamin-c-scrub.md) - [Vitamin C-Enhanced Body Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smooth-glow-vitamin-c-body-essentials.md) - [Clean Vitamin C Serums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vitamin-c-booster-shot.md) - [Fast-Absorbing Brightening Serums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brighter-days-vitamin-c-serum.md)
