Analysis

Loaded with all the ingredients of an ideal Vitamin C serum, and then some, BioBare offers the most effective Vitamin C Serum that we’ve personally tried out. Consisting of 20% Vitamin C, and 1% Ferulic Acid, this serum offers premium protection against the harmful effects of free radicals. Free radicals are toxic byproducts of oxygen metabolism that can cause significant damage to living cells and tissues, proteins, and your DNA, in a process called "oxidative stress."

We really appreciate that BioBare has enriched their serum with the powerful combination of Vitamins B and E, providing extra protection against damaging oxidation, resulting from pollution and environmental toxins. 

In addition to being produced by one of the leading skin-care manufacturers in the world, we’d like to point out that this Vitamin C serum is rich in plant-based and natural ingredients.

The BioBare™ Vitamin C, B, E & Ferulic serum with Hyaluronic Acid has the most complete and advanced formula on the market. Considering it contains all the essential skin care ingredients, at $59 a bottle, you get a big bang for your buck!

Note:

As a result of our research, BioBare's Vitamin C, B, E & Ferulic Acid Serum was determined to be the top vitamin C serum available, not only for producing superior results, but also because it is affordable, long-lasting, and contains the highest-quality natural ingredients available.

@Mothertrucker I believe perricone uses the TDH ascorbate. Won’t be cheap of course....

I'm finding that most of the serums which contain THD ascorbate generally cost more than the usual VC serums. But it's a very effective and stable ingredient at low concentrations.

 

Here's what LotionCrafter posted on their website about THD:

 

Properties

  • At 0.1% reduces melanin synthesis by 80%
  • At 10% eliminated age spots in 16 weeks
  • At 3% in vivo reduces Delta-L value by 15% vs. placebo (22 people), a way to measure whitening effect
  • At 0.1% in vitro increases collagen by 50%
  • Tested at 10% in vivo to treat acne with 80% of patients (12 people) satisfied with results
  • Increases collagen synthesis at least twice as much as ascorbic acid
  • Inhibits MMP-2 and MMP-9 over e time better than ascorbic acid
  • decreased 80-OHdG induced by UV-A
  • decreased p53 expression induced by UV-B
  • Protects the cells against UV-B better than other esters of Vitamin C
  • Works synergistically with Thiotaine as both penetrate the cells for anti-oxidant activity
