Ascorderm Vitamin C Contouring Serum

Ascorderm Contouring Serum

Vitamin C (also known as L-Ascorbic Acid) is a potent antiox­i­dant clin­i­cally proven to reverse the signs of aging, help renew col­la­gen, enhance elas­tic­ity of skin and helps repair photo sun dam­age. Basically, it gets rid of those nasty age spots! However, it is hard to find the right for­mu­la­tion of Vitamin C that is sta­ble to apply top­i­cally to your skin.

Ascorderm Contouring Serums

The bot­tle of this serum may look plain, but what is inside is sur­pris­ingly potent.  The liq­uid is thicker than water and has a strong smell of oranges. It has a dark orange color and is dis­pensed via the pump cap. There is an expi­ra­tion date on the bot­tle and it lasts for 90 days after first use.  Only a few drops is needed each time, and is rec­om­mended to be used twice daily.

After 1–2 weeks, my skin is brighter, younger-looking, and has less age-spots. The for­mu­la­tion is also impor­tant for its effi­cacy and absorp­tion into the skin topically.  According to Biopelle, the com­pany behind this product,

Ascorderm is the only for­mula clin­i­cally proven to achieve 8.5 times con­cen­tra­tion of L-Ascorbic Acid in the skin and to remain con­stant for 8 hours.

I am skep­ti­cal of claims of that this is the only prod­uct able to do so, but being able to keep the con­cen­tra­tion con­stant for 8 hours is impressive.

Ingredients

The ingre­di­ents are not 100% organic, and con­sists of a base for Vitamin C with some Green Tea and Grapefruit extracts.  There are a cou­ple of preser­v­a­tive chem­i­cals in small amounts.

The Company Behind This Revolutionary Product

A phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal com­pany based in the East Coast called Ferndale Laboratories, Inc. has a divi­sion called Biopelle asso­ci­ated with a line of prod­ucts for aes­thetic med­i­cine.  The phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal com­pany started as a com­pany sell­ing med­ical sup­plies to hos­pi­tals and later became a pre­scrip­tion drug der­ma­to­log­i­cal com­pany.   They wanted to expand their growth so they started a divi­sion, Biopelle, to cre­ate med­ical grade prod­ucts for anti aging and healthy skin.   The prod­ucts are sold exclu­sively through physi­cian offices, medi-spas and med­ical web­sites.  The Company has seven brands, each focused on a spe­cific skin problem.
