A daytime topical vitamin C gel for the face that provides advanced environmental protection brightens skin tone and smooths fine lines.
Phloretin CF Gel is a revolutionary antioxidant technology for the face combining 2% phloretin, 10% pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), and 0.5% ferulic acid for enhanced protection against atmospheric aging – environmental damage and premature signs of aging caused by free radicals from UVA/UVB radiation. This daily vitamin C face gel also helps diminish the appearance of discoloration, refine skin texture, and improve skin tone.
THE SCIENCE
Environmental aggressors are extrinsic sources of skin irritants, like sunlight, air pollution, or metals. Environmental aggressors cause damaging free radicals, which, combined with aging, change the skin’s texture and appearance. To neutralize the damage from free radicals, use antioxidant protection from Phloretin CF Gel.
