What is this product? What is it supposed to do?
15% Vitamin C Serum. Boost collagen production - Create firm, healthy & youthful glow.
Features the most advanced form of lipid-soluble, deeply penetrating Vitamin C to stimulate collagen synthesis, boost radiance, minimize melanin production and brighten the skin.
This intensive skin-boosting and illuminating serum is part of the Odacité Private Collection.
Gentle Coco Glucoside removes surface impurities without disturbing the skin's delicate moisture and oil balance.
Vitamin C then pairs with extra virgins precious oils. Acai, Passion Fruit, Meadowfoam, Carrot, Raspberry, Pomegranate and Rosehip Oils revitalize skin, improve flexibility and give the complexion a luminous glow.
Does this contain any special/beneficial ingredients?
Again, according to beautyhabit.com:
Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C) is a potent radiance booster, reducing melanin production and brightening the skin.
Acai Berry boasts the highest per-unit value of antioxidant power (ORAC) and is considered a superfood. Its precious oil is rich in Vitamin B1, B2, B3, C & E as well as minerals calcium, phosphorus, potassium and iron. Its significant content of anthocyanins protect the skin against cell damage, making this oil an anti-aging miracle.
Passion Fruit Seed Oil is high in Vitamins A & C and will instantly provide skin with vitality.
Meadowfoam Oil forms a moisture barrier and will assist the skin with preventing moisture loss.
Red Raspberry joins in to restore skin's youthful elasticity and ability to resist wrinkles.
Wild Carrot Seed Oil, hand pressed in a small French village using the same traditional method for over two centuries, is known to "donner bonne mine", which literally means give a fresh, glowing complexion.
Pomegranate Seed Oil is exceptionally high in punic and ellagic acids. Punic acid is an omega 5 fatty acid known to inhibit cancer, while ellagic acid is a potent plant antioxidant.
Rosehip aids in tissue repair and possesses an exceptional ability to regenerate cells.
What is the texture like?
This is an oil - it feels pretty typical for an oil, slick and... oily... but it also absorbs quite quickly into my skin while making it feel hydrated.
Is this scented?
This has an earthy, somewhat herbaceous scent. I have to be honest in saying that the scent isn't my favorite because I'm not an earthy fragrance person.
What has my experience with the product been like?
Folks - here is why I think this serum is worth it. Firstly, the delivery system is ABSOLUTE GENIUS - while Vitamin C itself is a water-soluble vitamin - meaning it dissolves and absorbs within a water environment, having it in an oil base means it can permeate the skin's lipid layer. In simpler terms- it can be more deeply, and easily, absorbed by the skin, thus giving you a more visible result. It gives the skin the most beautiful glow - partially because it's an oil, partially from the Vitamin C. Although people think of Vitamin C as a brightener and dark-spot lightener (which it is) - I don't have an issue with dark spots but I feel like my skin can appear red and dull at times and Vitamin C really gives it a radiance and fresh, youthful glow. Not that I look super aged by any means, but it makes my skin soft and supple like a baby's and I'm not complaining about that. Lastly, although the price point is not what one would call approachable (at least not at a beauty associate's salary... sorry about it) the product itself will last you a long while. You only need a drop or two mixed into your moisturizer. I'm not exaggerating - a drop of this goes a long way! I absolutely think it's an investment/splurge item.
