Skin care tips for uneven skin tone / pigmentation

Whether it is from sun damage, scarring or aging, hyperpigmentation (dark spots caused by excess melanin production) can sometimes feel completely impossible to get rid of! We therefore want to suggest that vitamin C is an ingredient that balances the skin tone in a very effective way.

What should you keep in mind when looking for skin care products with vitamin C in them? Is it always best with pure vitamin C (ascorbic acid ”or“ L-ascorbic acid in the list of ingredients) The answer is, not necessarily, because it then has a very short shelf life. This is because vitamin C is destabilized by light and oxygen. To extend its life as long as possible, you can use a dark bottle in a tight seal in a cool and dark place. But no matter how carefully you store pure vitamin C, the effectiveness drops after about a month. When it gets a brownish color, you know it is no longer effective.

However, vitamin C that has stabilized (Read Askorbyl Methylsilanol pectinate in the ingredient list) has a longer lifespan of about 2 years and does not need to be stored in a dark bottle. Thanks to the development of how to stabilize vitamin C in Korea, this type is at least as effective as pure, unstabilized vitamin C. And you do not have to buy new products every month and save both money and waste.

What concentration of vitamin C is best? Studies show that a concentration of between 1-20% is most effective, but that does not mean that higher is better! The higher the concentration, the higher the risk of irritation and a stinging sensation in the skin.

So with this as a basis, we want to tell you about our absolute favorite product with vitamin C, Klairs freshly juiced vitamin C serum. What distinguishes Klair's freshly juiced vitamin C serum from the others? It contains ascorbic acid (pure vitamin C) but thanks to the latest Korean skin care technology, the formula is still stable and has a long shelf life.

This means that it can get light on itself without being destroyed (hence the light bottle). The concentration of 5% is mild enough for sensitive skin but at the same time sufficient to give good results! The texture is silky soft (almost oily) and sinks quickly and easily into the skin, which feels deeply moisturized after. Not only in our opinion, but also in the feedback we have received from customers, this serum is best when it comes to getting rid of pigmentation and getting an even skin tone.

The results are amazing. I myself have had a lot of pigment spots / brown spots after pregnancies, hormone changes and sun exposure. This is the first serum that has made a real difference and removed almost all brown spots! It has also erased my scars from pimples on my cheeks. What's so amazing is that this serum also prevents new brown spots from appearing!
