Mad Hippie Vitamin C & A Serum - Travel Size
Try two of Mad Hippies favourite award-winning serums in a luxury travel size. The Day & Night Dual Pack contains a 15ml bottle of the Vitamin C Serum and Vitamin A Serum.
Vitamin C Serum:
This vitamin C serum is a harmonious blend of antioxidants that work wonders for ageing and sun-damaged skin. Reduces wrinkles and discolouration and combats photo-aging.
The form of vitamin C used in this serum is sodium ascorbyl phosphate (STAY-C® 50). This is a highly stable form of vitamin C with high bioavailability.
Contains.
- Vitamin C (stimulates collagen production and reduces wrinkles and discolouration, for radiant skin)
- Ferulic acid (antioxidant, reduces skin damage caused by UV radiation up to 8 times)
- Vitamin E (
- Hyaluronic acid (for fuller skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles)
- Konjac root powder (makes skin soft and smooth)
- Grapefruit (natural exfoliant, removes dead skin cells)
- Chamomile extract (soothes and calms the skin)
- Clary sage (regulates sebum production, with antibacterial and antiseptic properties)
Vitamin A Serum:
Vitamin A serum exfoliates, softens and reduces the appearance of wrinkles.
Contains retinyl retinoate, a revolutionary new form of vitamin A consisting of retinoic acid bound with retinol. Retinyl retinoate seems to be as effective as retinoic acid (tretinoin) in combating skin ageing, but without the irritation and sensitivity. Retinyl retinoate is also not susceptible to oxidation, as is often the case with retinoids.
Contains, among others.
- HPR (revolutionary new form of vitamin A that is readily bioavailable)
- Oat beta glucan (hydrates, strengthens and soothes the skin)
- Alpha lipoic acid (powerful antioxidant, reduces the appearance of wrinkles)
- Aloe Vera (protects and moisturises the skin)
Frequently asked questions
What is the percentage of vitamin C? Our Vitamin C serum uses sodium ascorbyl phosphate (SAP), a form of vitamin C that is much more stable and less prone to oxidation than some traditionally used forms of vitamin C. This serum is great for both sensitive and acne-prone skin! The recommended percentage for efficacy without irritation is different for different forms of vitamin C and therefore they cannot be easily compared on a percentage basis. Our serum would be comparable to a serum of 15-20% L-ascorbic acid. We use a combination of vitamin C, vitamin E and ferulic acid because this trio of ingredients has been shown to provide a strengthening antioxidant effect.
Should the serum be transparent? A pale yellow, cloudy serum is not out of the normal range of our vitamin C serum because of the plant extracts (such as chamomile, clary sage and konjac) used in the formulations.
Should I use sunscreen if the vitamin C serum is applied in the morning? Our vitamin C serum is rich in antioxidants, making it an excellent choice for daytime use, but it does not replace sunscreen. We recommend wearing a mineral sunscreen daily to protect your skin from damage.
What is the consistency like? The Vitamin C serum is a thin, gel-like serum that is quickly and easily absorbed by the skin.
Is it good for acne-prone skin? Our Vitamin C serum is great for easily congested and oily skin types. It is a concentrated blend of vitamin C, ferulic acid and vitamin E, along with nutrient-rich konjac root.
Should I apply this morning, tonight or both? We recommend using our vitamin C serum in the morning and exfoliants such as our vitamin A serum or exfoliating serum at night. If you don't use another serum at night, you can apply the Vitamin C serum twice a day.
How much should I use? We recommend using a small amount of vitamin C serum, which is usually enough to cover face and neck.
Does this have a fragrance? We do not use synthetic fragrances in our line, but this serum does contain konjac root, chamomile and sage extracts that give a faint aroma. It does not have a strong scent and disappears quickly.
