Professional Topical use

Vitamin C is a sterile cosmetic for professional topical use, formulated for aesthetic protocols aimed at revitalising the skin, protecting it against oxidative stress and improving the appearance of photoageing, hyperpigmentation and skin irregularities. Its composition includes ascorbic acid, one of the main non-enzymatic water-soluble antioxidants and a benchmark active ingredient in professional cosmetics due to its role in collagen synthesis, radiance and visible skin evenness.

What Vitamin C is

It is a revitalising and antioxidant solution from the Institute BCN BCN Classics line, supplied in 5 ml ampoules.

Extended technical information

Institute BCN’s technical documentation describes ascorbic acid as one of the main non-enzymatic water-soluble antioxidants. Vitamin C is required for the synthesis of collagen, an important structural component of blood vessels, tendons, ligaments and bones, and plays a fundamental role in dermal construction by stimulating collagen synthesis in skin fibroblasts.

The manufacturer states that it activates collagen gene regulation in two ways: by increasing the transcription rate and by stabilising procollagen messenger RNA. In addition, vitamin C is necessary to form lysyl hydroxylase, an enzyme essential for cross-linking one collagen molecule with another, providing strength to the tissue.

The technical sheet also highlights that topical use of ascorbic acid is used in the treatment and prevention of photoageing. Exposure to UV light significantly reduces cutaneous deposits of ascorbic acid, making its cosmetic contribution particularly relevant for photo-exposed skin or skin subjected to environmental aggressors.

Institute BCN presents Vitamin C as a highly effective antioxidant that neutralises free radicals, inhibits melanin, stimulates the growth of the hydrolipidic film and increases collagen synthesis, an important protein for strengthening the skin’s structural support and elasticity. It is also indicated that vitamin C participates in the synthesis of carnitine, an essential molecule in the transport of fat to the mitochondria, where it is converted into energy.

Cosmetic action of vitamin C

Antioxidant action

Vitamin C is presented as a highly effective antioxidant against free radicals generated by pollution, tobacco smoke and sun exposure. This action helps protect the skin against visible ageing induced by the environment.

Support for collagen synthesis

The technical documentation highlights that it stimulates collagen synthesis and supports the genetic regulation of its production. This reinforces its relevance in professional anti-ageing protocols and in the visible improvement of skin firmness.

Support for photoageing

Institute BCN positions it as a key active ingredient for treating and preventing photoageing, especially in skin exposed to UV radiation, smoke and pollution.

Cosmetic depigmenting action

The manufacturer states that it inhibits melanin, which is why it is integrated into professional treatments for hyperpigmentation, uneven tone and dull skin.

Improvement of the hydrolipidic film

The technical sheet states that it stimulates the growth of the hydrolipidic film, promoting skin with better surface balance, greater comfort and an improved overall appearance.

Interest for skin with irregularities and wrinkles

Vitamin C is mainly used to treat and prevent skin irregularities and wrinkles, within antioxidant and revitalising protocols for professional use.

Professional salon use profile

Vitamin C is aimed at professionals seeking an antioxidant and revitalising active ingredient for facial protocols. It is especially useful for dull, photoaged skin with visible hyperpigmentation, uneven tone, fine lines or a need for antioxidant reinforcement and radiance.
