Frameless Pure Vitamin C 20% Element
I received this product for free from Picky and elmt in exchange for my honest review.
The package is plastic, 30 ml, pump-bottle in a paper box with the first open seal.
The product itself is a white and quite thick cream-like suspension that goes transparent after distributing it on the skin surface. Also you feel oily texture and light warmth while applying it. Suspension doesn’t have any smell at all.
What is being said about this product?
“Pure Vitamin C 20% Element uses vitamin C in its purest form - ascorbic acid, to help visibly increase elasticity and balance an uneven skin tone. Highly lauded for its beneficial effects, but notorious for its instability, vitamin C's fresh potency is captured in time through elmt's innovative powder-in-suspension formula and airtight container. Our 2-Tier Stabilization Technology first locks in the effectiveness of vitamin C with the help of a bio-ferment extract, which is then suspended in a biolipid base to prevent activation until you need it.
Unlike water-based forms of vitamin C, this waterless product contains water-soluble vitamin C powder that activates upon contact with the skin's moisture. Each use imparts instant radiance, while also forming a protective barrier that fights environmental aggressors for a brighter & firmer complexion over time.” - by Wishtrend website.
So, the key ingredient is 20% pure vitamin C which is active only after applying on the skin. Perfect, imho!
I have couperose on my cheeks and in my periods sometimes my skin goes sensitized. I had to start using this product right at the start of my period and felt a bit anxious.
What I have used till now was only derivatives of the Ascorbic Acid and not the acid itself. Percentage of the derivatives in the products was lower too. So I was pretty sure the I’d have some reaction but … No tigling, no burning, no redness. Any negatives wasn’t there for me, only pleasant warmth.
How they suggest to use the product!
Following your PM cleanse, apply 1-2 pumps at the last step of your skincare routine. Use alone, or mix with the water based toner or cream. For AM, finish with a sunscreen.
At the start I just use it after cleansing and after some time my skin felt itchy. So I added Innisfree Hyaluronic Acid Toner before and Malin & Goetz Vitamin E Face Moisturiser after the product. It worked better for my skin. No itches more.
I think not only my skin tone went brighter but my freckles started to disappeared. I think so cause I forgot to take a photo as a starting point of my journey. But I can surely say that my post acne scar on the neck went less visible in just one night.
I’ll be using this product further and post the update on the Instagram.
For now, I like what I see.
Full ingredient list: Propanediol (solvent, moisturiser/humectant), Ascorbic Acid (20%) (antioxidant, skin brightening, buffering), Butylene Glycol (moisturiser/humectant, solvent), Glycerin (skin-identical ingredient, moisturiser/humectant), Pentylene Glycol (solvent, moisturiser/humectant), Candida Bombicola/Glucose /Methyl Rapeseedate Ferment (antimicrobial/antibacterial, surfactant/cleansing), Glyceryl Glucoside (moisturiser/humectant), AmmoniumAcryloyldimethyltaurate /VP Copolymer (viscosity controlling), Panthenol (soothing, moisturiser/humectant), Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil (emollient), Sodium Polyacrylate (viscosity controlling), Polyquaternium-10 (viscosity controlling), Ferulic Acid (antioxidant, antimicrobial/antibacterial).
I didn’t see any cons. It’s oily but the composition is required to be like that and this oily has feeling completely gone with topping the cream upon it. Though be cautious to use it alone on the sensitive skin, patch test will be great option.
