Prof. Dr. Steinkraus 
Vitamin C Serum

Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) has a central importance for all human organs as an effective antioxidant. It is also particularly important for the healthy structure of the skin, because it enables the biosynthesis of collagen, the main component of the dermis. A vitamin C deficiency leads to instability of the connective tissue. The sensitive power vitamin in the Prof. Dr. Steinkraus series is enclosed in a protective sphere and only dissolved and activated with a special activator liquid immediately before application. This allows the full potential of one of the most important anti-aging vitamins to be exploited - without compromise. The serum firms the skin, reorganizes the skin matrix and creates a pure and fine complexion.

- Lyophilizate with very high concentration (over 70%) vitamin C (ascorbic acid).

- Very effective active ingredient with anti-aging effects for the skin.

- Hydrophilic, but still good penetration due to high concentration of active ingredient.

- One of the most important antioxidants for all organs (together with vitamin A and E).

- Effective support of collagen connective tissue by stabilizing the cross-linking of collagen fibers.

- Vascular stabilizing.

- Skin smoothing and collagen firming effect.

- Lightening effect on age spots.

- In order to produce in a proven environmentally friendly way, all processes and product cycles are subjected to strict, transparent tests. All tubes are made of mono-material, which makes them 99% recyclable. The packaging material made of glass, plastic and paper can be disposed of separately.

- A collaboration with the globally recognized provider of climate protection solutions 'ClimatePartner' calculates the carbon footprint of the products and offsets it through certified climate protection projects.

- For every product sold, €1 is donated to the Verein Naturschutzpark (VNP) foundation, which can be used to rewild 1 square meter of marshland with the aim of bringing 300 hectares of marshlands (3 million square meters) back to life in the Lüneburg Heath nature reserve.

In the morning and/or evening after cleansing, loosen a bead in the palm with a little activator liquid and apply to the face. Neck and décolleté can be treated as well. Ideal is the additional finish with Hyaluron Serum and a face cream.

To support the skin in a perfect way, it depends on the right active ingredients at the right time. Prof. Dr. Steinkraus recommends as a routine:

In the morning: cleansing, vitamin C serum, hyaluronic serum and facial care (light, medium or rich) - completed by lipbalm and eye cream.

In the evening: cleansing, vitamin A serum, hyaluronic serum and facial care (light, medium or rich) - completed by lipbalm and eye cream.

Important: All care modules can be selected individually - only the order is essential!

Special note: The sensitive vitamin C concentrate beads may lose their original round shape due to vibration during transport. This does not affect the properties and effectiveness of the product in any way. You can dissolve the powder from beads with the activator liquid and apply as recommended.

Activating Liquid: AQUA (WATER), GLYCERIN, 1,5-PENTANEDIOL, SODIUM LACTATE, LACTOBACILLUS FERMENT.

Vitamin C Concentrate: ASCORBIC ACID, POLYQUATERNIUM-10, SIMMONDSIA CHINENSIS (JOJOBA) SEED OIL

We do not believe that CLEAN products are a must or the answer to every skin care problem. But we want to provide a quick guide for those who want to avoid certain ingredients.

Our Clean Beauty concept is primarily defined by the ingredients you won't find in the products with the CLEAN icon:

BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole), BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene), chemical sunscreens, EDTA, ethanolamines, ethoxylated ingredients (Ceteareth-20, emulsifying wax, PEGS, polysorbate-20, polysorbate-40, steareth-20, sulfates), formaldehyde, methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone, methylcellulose or 2-methoxyethanol, nitro- and polycyclic musk, parabens, petrolatum and paraffin, phthalates, resorcinol, silicones, animal by-products (with the exception of lanolin and beeswax), toluene, triclosan and triclocarban.

With this icon you can see at a glance which products meet the standard of our CLEAN Guide.
