CGG Serum

This intensive Vitamin C triple strength formula is the newest encapsulation "delivery system" of Ascorbic Acid that brightens the skin, helps with acne prone skin and anti-aging improvement of fine lines and wrinkles. Most Vitamin C formulations lose potency or make it difficult for the skin to absorb. These gold stabilized vitamins are highly stable, bioavailable and preserves efficacy for full strength results every time.

This high-tech serum is gently scented with citrus essential oils of Grapefruit and Lemon. A synergistic conjugation of Ascorbic Acid, Gold and Glutathione provides our newest delivery system designed to improve the stability of Ascorbic Acid, and extend the lifespan of Ascorbic Acid in the skin. Additionally, Glutathione is a precursor to Ascorbic Acid, so it regenerates Ascorbic Acid as it is used up by our skin. This results in a highly effective delivery system that far outperforms any percentage of free Ascorbic Acid or other Ascorbic Acid derivatives. Also, regular Ascorbic Acid becomes a pro-oxidant as it becomes oxidized, essentially meaning that it may in fact donate free radicals back. The Glutathione conjugation prevents this from ever becoming a pro-oxidant.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE - In vivo, the conjugated Ascorbic Acid at the percentage we are using in the formula provides and antioxidant capacity comparable to a 50% Ascorbic Acid solution. And, because it is 100% stable it retains this efficacy after the product has been opened.

Formulas containing regular Ascorbic Acid will see about 80 to 90% decrease in Ascorbic Acid content after just 6 days. So, if you have a 15% Vitamin C Serum, it only retains about 2% of its Ascorbic Acid content after a week and this content continues to decrease over time. This is not the case with the conjugated Ascorbic Acid. Therefore, not only do we achieve a huge increase in efficacy, but the product retains its efficacy over time. Additionally, with free Ascorbic Acid, only about 30% of whatever we apply topically will penetrate the skin in its effective state.

With the conjugation system, 100% of the Ascorbic Acid penetrates the skin. So, with a 15% Vitamin C serum, on the very first day you use it (before it is oxidized by 90% in one week), you are only getting about 4.5% Ascorbic Acid actually penetrating the skin in its active form. With the conjugated Ascorbic Acid, 100% of the applied Ascorbic Acid content will be bioavailable to the skin.
