C-FIRMA™ VITAMIN C DAY SERUM DESCRIPTION
What it is: A potent vitamin C day serum packed with antioxidants- nutrients- and fruit enzymes to firm and brighten skin's appearance and improve the signs of photoaging.Skin Type: Normal- Dry- Combination- and Oily Skincare Concerns: Fine Lines and Wrinkles- Dullness and Uneven Texture- and Loss of Firmness and ElasticityFormulation: Lightweight SerumHighlighted Ingredients:- Potent Antioxidant Complex (15% L-Ascorbic Acid plus Ferulic Acid and 1% Vitamin E): Firms and brightens the look and feel of skin while minimizing the signs of photoaging from pollution and other environmental stressors.- Chronocyclin: A chronopeptide that mimics the antioxidant benefits of vitamin D for more youthful-looking skin.- Pumpkin Ferment and Pomegranate Extract: Enzymatically dissolve dead surface skin cells- minimizing the appearance of pores. Ingredient Callouts: This product is cruelty-free. This product is an Allure Best of Beauty award winner for 2018.What Else You Need to Know: Packed with a powerful antioxidant complex of l-ascorbic and ferulic acids to reveal a more even-looking complexion- C-Firma™ helps enzymatically dissolve dead skin cells as it intensely hydrates. Photo damage and aging are visibly diminished- replaced by incredible radiance and luminosity. Forumlated at an ideal pH level of 3.3. C-Firma will likely change color over the course of its life on your shelf- but don't be alarmed—anything from a pale yellow to an amber-orange is completely normal and not a sign the ascorbic acid is ineffective. We recommend using C-Firma within six months after opening- and if you're using it as directed—one pump per day—one bottle will last about three to four months. Free of essential oils- silicones and- fragrance.Drunk Elephant difference: Drunk Elephant is clean- but in their opinion- clean is not enough when it comes to caring for skin. They make Clean Compatible skincare. Drunk Elephant is committed to using only ingredients that either directly benefit the skin's health or support the integrity and effectiveness of their formulations. They never take into account an ingredient's synthetic or natural status- but instead choose based on biocompatibility. You won't find what they call the Suspicious 6 in their products (essential oils- drying alcohols- silicones- chemical sunscreens- fragrances/dyes- and SLS) making them- in their opinion- appropriate for all skin. They believe that these six ubiquitous ingredients are at the root of almost every skin issue we see- and when entirely removed from one's routine- (a clean break)- skin can reset and return to a healthy- balanced state. It is equally- if not more- important what they leave out of the products as what they put in. This ingredient-elimination diet (think Whole30 for your face) inspired the #barewithus Instagram movement- a collection of bare-faced selfies chronicling the Drunk Elephant journeys of people who have found success using the line and renewed confidence in their own skin. When formulating their products- Drunk Elephant focuses on biocompatibility- pH levels- and safety- always making sure that the active ingredients are at efficacious levels and remain respectful and always supportive of skin's acid mantle. Drunk Elephant is a supporter of IEF (International Elephant Foundation) and is cruelty-free.
