THE BENEFITS OF PEPTIDES AND VIT. C IN THE SAME PRODUCT

I get asked quite often, "Can peptides and Vitamin C be combined in the SAME FORMULA/PRODUCT?" 

The answer is YES! As a matter of fact they work together for WONDERFUL skin benefits. They compliment each other. Peptides help rebuild and strengthen the skin, while vitamin C gives anti-oxidant protection and supports the formation of collagen. Bottom line is they enhance each others effects.

1) Stimulating collagen production while building and organizing the collagen. This combination strengthens the skin's structure.

2) Stronger barrier function provided by the peptides helps minimize the potential of dryness or irritation that may happen with vitamin C.

3) The peptides help the vitamin C absorb more effectively.

4) Vitamin C is known for fighting anti-oxidant damage while the peptides repair and replenish afterward for a more complete recovery for aging, stressed skin.

THERE IS ONE RED FLAG!

The pH of these two ingredients are different, Vitamin C is acidic at a pH of 2.5-3.5. Peptides need a pH of 5.5-7. If your product has both ingredients look for a stabilized peptide or encapsulated delivery systems. 

New Level ™ skincare uses encapsulation to make sure of a stable product with the combined benefits of vitamin C AND peptides. 

A foundation of New Level™ skincare is to formulate with THE BEST FORM of our chosen ingredient in a formula that maximizes and enhances that key ingredient!! THE VITAMIN C SERUM is an excellent example of that philosophy.
