Vitamin C24.

"One viral vitamin C that I do continue to have on hand because it works for me on certain days is the Indeed Labs Vitamin C24. So again it's got a number in the title so for that I expect it to correlate to what you're getting and in this case it does: it's 2% hyaluronic acid, 22% vitamin C together making that 24. Very clear. This is what I mean by transparency and I applaud Indeed Labs for this. And this is actually a dimethicone-based vitamin C. So all of the vitamin C's that I've mentioned so far are water-based that's great, sinks in, lays beautifully well with the rest of your skincare, less risk of peeling and it boiling up. So water-based vitamin C's are amazing but they tend to oxidize a little bit quicker because vitamin C and water inherently unstable. Now you can get around that by using a product like the Indeed Labs which is dimethicone-based. Dimethicone also allows for the vitamin C to be at a higher concentration without triggering irritation. So 22% vitamin C would be a no-go for my skin in a water-based serum but in a dimethicone-based one it seems to be fine. And this is generally something that you'll find if you've got very sensitive skin, using a dimethicone-based vitamin C can usually help minimize the irritation but still maximize the results. So I like that and it's a good option I think for people that like a dimethicone silicon-based vitamin C."

"This is the Vitamin C24 by Indeed Labs. This is actually quite a high concentration of vitamin C, but because it's in a silicone dimethicone base it doesn't irritate the way the other equivalent strength water-based vitamin C's would. It's also super stable, so this isn't going to oxidize as quick as your water-based serums. So that just makes it a great option, particularly if you've got skin sensitivity or you don't go through your vitamin C's as quickly as some other people and you want a longer shelf life. This is a really great option."

"This is the Indeed Labs Vitamin C24. This actually has a 22% concentration of pure form vitamin C that's sky high, and normally you'd expect to get a lot of irritation with this, but you don't because it's paired in a dimethicone base that not only extends the shelf span of this product, meaning it's going to oxidize a lot slower than in a water-based formulation, but also it can just minimize the sensitivity and irritation. So if you want to go for a higher potency vitamin C but you're worried about some of the side effects, go for one like this in a dimethicone base, because I think you'll get some great results and a lot less sensitivity than from a water-based formulation. Dimethicone like I say can get a bit of a bad rep online, but providing it works well for your skin, absolutely a dimethicone-based vitamin C could be a holy grail, and that one by Indeed Labs is one of my favorites."
