Each is 5% pure so 10% overall. Usually, when you see 10% or more of one type it is a solution and not pure Vitamin C. So when a formula has anything above 10% of one type that means it is diluted and not pure like the Vitamin C in this serum.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eMost products on the market contain an unstable form called L-ascorbic acid. Unstable just means it oxidizes easily, and when an antioxidant oxidizes it is no longer beneficial and will do harm by sensitizing the skin. So when you see over 10% it should actually be a red flag because in that situation it’s usually L-ascorbic acid in a diluted form and you don’t really don't know what you're getting!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eAdditionally, more Vitamin C does not mean better results. I feel like our industry creates confusion around potency and causes clients to search for higher percentages when in reality the higher percentage does not mean better results with collagen production, pigmentation lifting or even better penetration overall. What matters is the form of Vitamin C, the overall formula it exists in, and the packaging - which will determine stability of the notoriously unstable ingredient and what is actually “active” in the bottle when it is applied to the skin. So the best vitamin C isn't necessarily the one with the biggest percentage on the bottle, in fact those higher percentages or brands who are bragging about the percentage are missing the point and may be prioritizing marketing terms over a truly effective formula. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alamano Skin Care","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48662988489008,"sku":"","price":94.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0978\/7184\/files\/products-42.jpg?v=1746849884"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.alamanoskincare.com\/collections\/4.oembed","provider":"Alamano Skin Care","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
