1. Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C)
Powerful antioxidant. It has been proven to brighten and smooth skin.
With a molecular weight of 176 g/mol, it provides antioxidative benefits.
2. Sodium hyaluronate (Hyaluronic acid)
Powerful humectant. It draws water and helps lock in moisture. With a molecular
weight of 847 g/mol, it sits on top of dermal layers to create a “moisture
lock”.
3. Guar Gum
Powerful humectant too. It complements hyaluronic acid as it helps provide additional nourishment to skin.

Science:Vitamin C in skincare
-
The challenge of ascorbic acid
Ascorbic acid is the form of Vitamin C that really works, but it is unstable and oxidizes easily. Once oxidized it becomes inactive.
Many products see their Vitamin C oxidized after 2 weeks of opening. Many people are using products that have become inactive.
-
Vitamin C derivatives?
Some skincare companies use Vitamin C derivatives, which are stable but less effective. These derivatives are supposed to become active when they hit the skin. The problem is that no research shows they work.
Mr. Lulu has tried many products with Vitamin C derivatives, and they do not seem to work as well as the ones with ascorbic acid.
-
Harmful preservatives
Due to challenges with ingredient stability in serums or creams, many skin care companies use preservatives in their Vitamin C products. Whether synthetic (e.g. phenoxyethanol, a form of paraben) or natural (e.g. Phenethyl Alcohol, Benzyl alcohol), research shows they are harmful to skin and health.
-
The solution
The Vitamin C Powder Serum contains ascorbic acid in its stable form: powder. This allows the active ingredient to keep its potency with no interference of preservatives or other chemical ingredients.You add water just before applying to skin. Results speak for themselves.
Do you have any questions?
-
1.
When should I use? Use the Vitamin C Powder Serum morning and night after you have cleansed your face and before your moisturizer. -
2.
How much water should I use? A splash is enough. Mr. Lulu however recommends to put a little extra at the beginning. The more water you put the more diluted the product is. Once you know the product, you can play with water dilution and makes it to the strenght that fits your skin. -
3.
How quickly should I see results? Most people see results within 3 days, when used with a Mr. Lulu Face Oil.This may depend on your skin's condition, what you have used before and what you use in conjunction. -
4.
Can I use retinol or acids in my routine? Mr. Lulu recommends to stop using retinol or acids (e.g. chemical peels) 3 to 5 days before starting with the Vitamin C Powder Serum. The concentration of Vitamin C is high, and ascorbic acid has an acidic PH. This might over-stimulate skin. Also, it is best to use Mr. Lulu's products as a regimen so you can reall see the results they achieve for your skin. -
5.
Why is preservative-free better? Preservatives are toxic and irritating ingredients to skin and any human organ. Their molecular weight is small enough to be penetrate thde dermal layers. When you are able to formulate products without them, we allow the active ingredients to work with no interference. This leads to healthier skin and more visible results.Read my blog section where you can find resources that give more details on preseravtives, their toxicity and how they unfortunately penetrate skin. -
6.
Is the product toxic-free and all-natural? Yes of course.Mr. Lulu knows how to work with natural ingredients in their stable and potent forms.Many companies add synthetic and toxic ingredients but Mr. Lulu is against them. -
7.
How economical is the product? Very economical.Serums of same weight (1oz 30ml) usually provide about 180 uses, or 90 days when used twice a day. The Vitamin C Powder Serum gives you about 270 uses, or 135 days when used twice a day. For a serum at same price, you are making a 50% saving.
