Vitamin C Serum is the perfect product for your skin care, it fights aging and wrinkles and keeps your skin pure without blemishes or pigmentation.

But there are many types of vitamin C serum, and many products made of vitamin C.

Here are the most important types of vitamin C serum:

1. Pure Vitamin C Serum (Ascorbic Acid):

Pure ascorbic acid is the most powerful form of vitamin C in terms of fighting free radicals, as well as the most popular among people.

Ascorbic acid makes your skin brighter and clearer, and helps you get rid of wrinkles, dark circles, pigmentation, acne, and everything else that bothers you.

It will also protect your skin from harmful UV rays, treat sunburn and speed up wound healing.

All these benefits you will get if it is made in an acidic medium less than 4, it will be optimal in the fight against aging.

But all this for normal skin, pure ascorbic acid can irritate sensitive skin, so this type is not recommended for people with sensitive skin.

It is also very important to know the concentration of vitamin C in the product, not less than 8% and not more than 20%, so as not to cause skin sensitivity or inflammation.

Pure ascorbic acid is the least stable form of all vitamin C serums, as it breaks down on exposure to air or sun.

So, make sure the packaging is opaque, so that the serum is not affected and becomes useless.

2. Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate:

It is more stable than pure L-Ascorbic Acid, and weather resistant, as well as a powerful skin moisturizer and soothes skin irritation caused by infections.

It also has many benefits such as fighting aging, getting rid of acne and its scars.

3. Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate:

A mineral salt derived from pure ascorbic acid, soluble in water, more stable than pure ascorbic acid, more resistant to air and sun, very suitable for all skin types and does not irritate sensitive skin.

Due to its high stability and benefits, skin experts recommend using a Vitamin C serum containing Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate instead of pure Ascorbic Acid.

That's why we use it in our Natavis Vitamin C Serum, so with Natavis you can always be sure that your skin is in good hands.

4. Sodium Ascorbate:

Another mineral salt of ascorbic acid derivatives, such as Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate in its benefits, it is a water soluble salt, less irritating to sensitive skin.

As well as more weather resistant than pure ascorbic acid.

5. Calcium ascorbate:

Commonly referred to as Ester C, it plays an important role in collagen synthesis, tissue and wound healing, and the fight against free radicals.

This type is very useful when manufactured in a neutral pH, and does not irritate sensitive skin.

6. Ascorbyl palmitate:

This derivative differs from its predecessors, as well as pure L-Ascorbic Acid, in that it is fat-soluble, so it is less irritating to sensitive skin and more stable when exposed to air and sun.

It is useful in boosting collagen production, even skin tone, reducing hyperpigmentation, and fighting free radicals.


These are, in short, the types of vitamin C serum, or compounds derived from vitamin C that are used in the production of serums.
