The first product I ever tried from Deciem was the NOID photography fluid and man was I in love! Since then I have been stalking their website for other unique products. To be honest, most of the products carried by Deciem are not made by anyone else in the beauty industry… at least not at the affordable prices offered by Deciem. Now, I’ve said this time and again that I do not naturally have very good skin which is why I am always on the lookout for anything that claims to give naturally glowing skin. Deciem recently launched this product within their affordable beauty range, Hylamide and I could not be happier. C25 is a clear, almost odorless, oily (but still light) serum that harnesses the power of 25% ethyl ascorbic acid to tackle dullness, fine lines, texture and tone to promote healthy and radiant skin. This is supercharged skincare without the super inflated price tag ($33).
So, the reason vitamin C is such an essential ingredient is because it works to protect the skin from daily free radical damage that causes it to prematurely age (wrinkles, brown spots, sagging). It is a potent antioxidant that will shield and repair the skin, making it healthier and look more radiant. It will help deal with wrinkles and sagging by boosting collagen production and tackle brown spots (even PIH acne marks) by supporting the skin’s natural healing process. It also reduces inflammation and increases the skin’s defense against UV damage.
Unfortunately, it’s not always easy to get these great Vitamin C benefits from your skincare products because either there is not enough of it to see results or it isn’t stable and therefore will oxidize and become ineffective. The great thing about this serum is that it contains ethyl ascorbic acid, which is a stabilized form Vitamin C, so oxidization is not an issue. Not only that, the ethyl ascorbic acid is at 25% which is much higher than most products currently available.
Like all my skin care, I use this 15 minutes before going to bed and I positively look radiant in the morning. I will warn you, it does smell slightly vitaminy when first applied but it’s not repulsive.
Give it a try and let me know what you think!
