Vitamin C has long been hailed as the holy grail of skincare ingredients, and for good reasons. This powerhouse antioxidant brightens, protects, and rejuvenates skin like no other. But not all Vitamin C serums are created equally.  This April 4th, National Vitamin C Day, let’s go beyond the hype and dive into the science behind our cult-favorite 15% Vitamin C Anti-Aging Serum—formulated for maximum efficacy, stability, and skin-transforming results.

What Makes Our Vitamin C Serum Different?

At Intelligent Elixirs, we lead with clean, clinically driven and result-focused formulations. Our 15% Vitamin C Anti-Aging Serum is a meticulously crafted powerhouse designed to optimize skin health with science-backed ingredients.

1. Perfect Potency

Our formula features L-Ascorbic Acid, the purest and most potent form of Vitamin C, at an optimal concentration of 15%. But here’s where we take it to the next level: our serum is formulated at a pH of 2.5, ensuring superior absorption and efficacy.  It is designed to deliver consistent, long-lasting results.

2. Zinc Sulfate: The Unsung Hero

Most Vitamin C serums rely solely on antioxidants, but we take a multifunctional approach by incorporating Zinc Sulfate. This essential mineral not only boosts skin healing and calms inflammation, but it also works synergistically with Vitamin C to promote skin repair and collagen synthesis. Zinc helps stabilize vitamin C, enhancing its antioxidant properties to fight free radical damage.  We harness its full potential to enhance your skin’s texture, tone and radiance.

3. Ferulic Acid: Efficacy Booster

Ferulic Acid acts as a potent antioxidant while amplifying its skin's restorative benefits. This means stronger UV defense, longer-lasting efficacy, and better overall skin protection—all packed into our lightweight, fast-absorbing serum. It aids in reducing hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and uneven skin tone, making the skin appear more radiant.

The Science: Why pH Matters

A crucial factor that sets our 15% Vitamin C Anti-Aging Serum apart is its carefully formulated pH level of 2.5. Vitamin C is most effective when it can properly absorb into the skin barrier. Studies show that a lower pH enhances absorption. We maintain the scientifically backed pH of 2.5 to ensure maximum benefit — meaning your skin gets the full antioxidant, brightening, and collagen-boosting benefits.

How to Maximize Your Glow
