• Tightens skin

Recommended:

• All skin types

Application:

The skin around the eye is one of the most sensitive areas on the body. Because of this it is important to know how to properly apply eye gels. Proper application will reduce chances of irritation, including redness and swelling. Eye gels, once absorbed into the skin, will spread. If the eye gel is applied too close to the eyelid, the gel will reach the delicate areas of the lash line and increase the risk of swelling and irritation. Only a tiny amount of any eye gel is needed to cover the area. Using your index finger dot the eye gel along the edge of the bone surrounding the eye. Gently pat (do not rub) the gel into the skin, staying around the edge of the bone. Do not get closer.

Results:

Daily use over a month is required to achieve visible results. More dramatic results will be noticeable after several months.

Recommended:

Application:

• Gentle stroke outwardly in circular motion, slowly spreading onto the entire face, throat, chest and back of hands.

Results:

One of the most important ingredients in skincare is vitamin C. Research has shown that vitamin C is amongst the most potent materials in skincare. Collagen is the substance that gives structure and strength to skin. Simply by growing older, there is a natural reduction of the production of collagen in the body, and this is revealed by the appearance of wrinkles on the skin. Regular application of Vitamin C will lead to a reduction in the visible appearance of wrinkles.

Limitations of Typical Vitamin C Products:

Most vitamin C skincare products are not suitable, as:

• They are either in a water base. Vitamin C, when mixed with water dissolves and loses its efficacy in a very short period of time. Hence, such formulations tend to be completely ineffective; OR
• They are in an oil base. Such formulations are only suitable for those with dry skin.

Skinstitut's vitamin C is in pure powder form and hence does not suffer from the abovementioned limitations. In addition, it is at a concentration of 100%, rather than around 15% for the average vitamin C product.
