Well-formulated vitamin C products can help the skin look younger, healthier, and more radiant for longer. As one of the most well-researched and effective skincare ingredients, vitamin C has stood the test of time as a powerful antioxidant and skin protector.
However, not all forms of vitamin C are created equal. In our AM Serum, we have selected Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP)—a stable, water-soluble derivative that delivers maximum skin benefits while remaining gentle and effective.
What is Vitamin C?
Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that shields the skin from:
- Pollution
- Environmental aggressors
- UV damage
It works by neutralising free radicals, which are unstable molecules that break down collagen, accelerate ageing, and contribute to pigmentation.
What is Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP)?
SAP is a stable, water-soluble form of vitamin C, making it an excellent choice for skincare. Unlike pure ascorbic acid, SAP remains effective without oxidising quickly, ensuring longer-lasting results.
Why We Use SAP in Our AM Serum
We selected Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate because it provides three essential benefits in one:
- Antioxidant protection – Shields the skin from oxidative stress and pollution.
- Collagen synthesis – Boosts collagen production, keeping skin firm and youthful.
-
Brightening and evening skin tone – Helps reduce hyperpigmentation and dark spots.
How SAP Works in the Skin
When applied, SAP is converted into active vitamin C by skin enzymes, allowing it to penetrate deeply and deliver powerful benefits.
Neutralising Free Radicals
SAP fights oxidative stress by neutralising harmful free radicals before they damage skin cells, preventing premature ageing, wrinkles, and dullness.
Boosting Collagen Production
Collagen is essential for firm, plump skin. SAP stimulates collagen synthesis, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for smoother, firmer skin over time.
Brightening and Evening Skin Tone
SAP reduces melanin production, helping to fade dark spots, acne scars, and sun damage. With continued use, it results in a brighter, more even complexion.
Calming and Soothing Inflammation
Unlike some vitamin C derivatives that can be harsh, SAP has anti-inflammatory properties, making it ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin.
Protecting Against Sun Damage
While not a replacement for sunscreen, SAP helps repair UV-induced damage and enhances the effectiveness of SPF, providing an extra layer of sun protection.
The Skin Benefits of Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate
| Benefit | How It Works |
|---|---|
| Antioxidant Protection | Fights free radicals, preventing premature ageing. |
| Brightens Skin | Reduces pigmentation and promotes an even tone. |
| Boosts Collagen | Stimulates collagen synthesis for firmer, plumper skin. |
| Anti-Inflammatory | Calms redness, irritation, and breakouts. |
| UV Damage Protection | Helps prevent sun damage when combined with SPF. |
Encapsulation Technology: Maximising Vitamin C Penetration
Why Encapsulation Matters
One of the biggest challenges with vitamin C is getting it deep into the skin before it degrades. Many products fail to deliver an effective concentration of vitamin C where it is needed most.
At Sekkeizu, we use proprietary encapsulation technology to ensure SAP reaches the deepest layers of the epidermis, where it can work effectively without losing potency.
How Encapsulation Improves Efficacy
- Twelve times more absorption – Encapsulated vitamin C penetrates up to twelve times deeper than non-encapsulated forms.
- Increased stability – Prevents premature oxidation, ensuring maximum effectiveness.
- Gentle on skin – Allows for deep delivery without irritation, making it suitable for all skin types.
Why Our AM Serum is the Ultimate Vitamin C Solution
Unlike many vitamin C products that degrade quickly or cause irritation, Sekkeizu’s AM Serum is:
- Clinically formulated with SAP for stability and effectiveness.
- Encapsulated for deep delivery and long-lasting results.
- Gentle yet powerful, suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin.
If you are looking for a science-backed, results-driven vitamin C serum, AM Serum delivers protection, hydration, and brightening benefits.
