Vitamin C is one of the most thoroughly researched ingredients in skincare. It is a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals caused by UV radiation, smog and stress, helps even out skin tone and supports collagen production. For skin after summer and during winter, when it looks tired and dull, it is one of the best choices.
What vitamin C does for the skin
- Antioxidant protection – neutralises free radicals that accelerate skin ageing.
- Even tone and radiance – helps reduce pigmentation spots and restores the skin's radiant look.
- Firmness and elasticity – supports the skin's own collagen production.
- Renewal – supports the skin's natural regenerative processes and defences.
Why the form of vitamin C matters
Pure ascorbic acid is highly effective but unstable – it quickly loses its potency when exposed to air and light. That is why the Japanese brand Forlle'd uses stable vitamin C derivatives and, in professional treatments, also powdered vitamin C, which is only activated just before application. Each form has different properties: some are water-soluble, others are fat-soluble and can act directly on cell membranes.
Vitamin C from Forlle'd – which product is right for you
Hyalogy C20 Essence – a serum with 20% vitamin C in four stable forms. For intensive correction: pigmentation spots, uneven tone, loss of firmness, wrinkles. Mozuku seaweed extract strengthens capillaries and hyaluronic acid maintains hydration, making it suitable for sensitive skin too. Apply 5 drops to the face, neck and décolleté in the evening (avoiding the eye area) and do not forget sunscreen in the morning. View Hyalogy C20 Essence
Hyalogy VCIP Cream – a lightweight cream-gel with fat-soluble vitamin C for daily hydration and radiance. It helps protect cells from the harmful effects of UV radiation.
Hyalogy P-effect Reliance Gel – a gentle form of vitamin C in a hydrating and soothing gel with hyaluronic acid. Ideal for dehydrated skin, and also as a mask.
Vitamin C in the salon
In Forlle'd partner salons you will also find professional vitamin C treatments: Essence Powder & Oxygenic Gel Pack with 30% freshly activated vitamin C and a carboxytherapy effect, the Biopure VC100 serum for sensitive and stressed skin, and the antioxidant Platinum Face Mask. Combining salon treatments with home care brings the best results.
Tips for use
- Apply vitamin C to cleansed skin after your toner and before your cream.
- Always use sun protection during the day.
- Results – brighter, more even skin – usually appear after a few weeks of regular use.
