The ArenciaVitamin C Booster Shot is one such product that takes the in-clinic skin booster shots from Korea and applies the same concept to a serum in a bottle that you can use at home. Currently available in Olive Young and Sephora stores, this serum is getting quite some attention due to its promising formulation.
The key ingredients of this serum for skin revitalization are the dual complex of Vitamin C which comprises 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid in an impressive 50,000ppm concentration, along with pure ascorbic acid. The reason why this combination is important is that pure vitamin C although very potent, is extremely unstable and easily oxidizes. 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid is the perfect answer to this drawback since it is stable and penetrates well into the skin; thus, it provides a continuous brightening effect, whereas the pure vitamin C offers instant radiance.
In supporting the vitamin C complex there is niacinamide which functions by suppressing the amount of melanin that is transferred to the skin's surface thereby decreasing the appearance of dark marks and post-acne spots. In being a part of the Niacinamide brightening serum, this is selected due to its synergistic ability with the vitamin C complex and not duplicating its action. Finally there is the combination of the Glutathione and vitamin C serum where glutathione and vitamin E function as a strong antioxidant pair in safeguarding the skin from damage and preventing new pigmentations.
One of the trade-offs associated with the use of highly potent vitamin C serum products is irritation, but the Arencia brand combats this problem through the inclusion of panthenol and allantoin, which are deliberately selected for their skin-calming properties. This significantly increases the user-friendliness of the formula as compared to most vitamin C serums available, without compromising the performance of the dark spot corrector serum.
According to Arencia, it is suggested that you introduce yourself to the serum gradually, especially if you have never used it before: Apply a bit of the product to your clean, dry skin once every two days, then put on a moisturizer and broad-spectrum sunscreen during the morning. In the evening, put on a thin layer all over your face or concentrate on the areas where your skin looks dull and patchy before moisturizer.
Those on the quest for truly flawless glass-like skin with the help of Korean skincare are likely to find the Arencia Vitamin C Booster Shot Serum an appealing proposition as it comprises a thoughtful and derm-inspired formulation. In light of its vitamin C complex, skin brightener niacinamide, and soothers for strengthening the skin barrier, it is worth a shot.
