A colorless to light yellowish oily liquid that works as a UVB (280-320nm) sunscreen filter with a peak absorbance at 306 nm. Second, in vitro (meaning made in the lab, not on real humans) studies show that ascorbyl glucoside can penetrate the skin. This is a hard task, and there is not yet a derivative that is really proven to be better in every aspect, butAscorbyl Glucoside is one of the best options when it comes to vitamin C derivatives. She went on to add: “It’s not greasy it’s not heavy it doesn’t pill on top of other creams… I love that it’s a fluid and not a heavy cream.

NEW L’Oréal Revitalift Clinical SPF50 Fluid with Vitamin C

Regarding Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine side effects, we have good news here as well: it has a great safety profile and unlike a couple of other chemical sunscreens, Trinosorb S (and M) does not showestrogenic activity. It’s a little helper ingredient that helps to set the pH of a cosmetic formulation to be just right. No it doesn’t have a hydrating or moisturising finish really, but this forms a slight powdery finish. Once on the skin, the fluid resists friction and is waterproof and sweatproof - making it perfect for holiday and day to day wear.In-vitro studies show that it shows all the three anti-aging benefits (antioxidant protection + collagen boosting + fading hyperpigmentation) that pure vitamin C does. But to be on the safe side, if you see Triethanolamine in an INCI and also something with nitra, nitro in the name of it just skip the product, that cannot hurt. It's quite a multi-tasker: can be used to improve skin moisturization, as a solvent, to boost preservative efficacyor to influence the sensory properties of the end formula. The special property of this particular ingredient is that it's more effective against more problematic ions, likeCu (copper) and Fe (iron) compared to less problematic ones like Ca (calcium) and Mg (magnesium).

NETLOCK TECHNOLOGY Invisible finish: Fast-absorbing ultra-light texture for a clean touch without white residue. I’ve enjoyed using this for my oily-combination skin and I highly recommend it to oily skins and those living in hot and humid weathers. The cosmetic's industry is trying to solve the problem by combining avobenzone with other UV filters that enhance its stability (like octocrylene, Tinosorb S or Ensulizole) or by encapsulating it and while both solutions help, neither is perfect. This is also very similar to the Vichy Sun Face Fluid (Swatches + Review HERE) / Available on Lookfantastic: LINK– This is slightly more expensive but it’s more similar in texture than the Garnier Ambre Solaire SPF above.In the US, it is flat out prohibited as avobenzone becomes unstable when combined with mineral sunscreens. The latest one from L’Oreal Paris offers advanced, daily SPF50+ protection against UV-induced early ageing in an ultra-light, invisible and moisturising texture. It can be used to improve skin moisturization, as a solvent, to boost preservative efficacy or to influence the sensory properties of the end formula.
