ALASTIN Skincare, a leader in scientifically advanced formulations under Galderma, has announced the UK launch of its C-Radical™ Defense Antioxidant Serum. This next-generation serum aims to provide a more effective solution for brightening and firming skin while addressing common limitations of traditional Vitamin C products.
A Scientific Breakthrough in Elastin Preservation – The core innovation of C-Radical™ Defense lies in its use of a proprietary encapsulated form of Sodium Ascorbate. While traditional L-ascorbic acid serums are often praised for brightening, ALASTIN’s research indicates they may contribute to elastin degradation over time. In contrast, this new encapsulated delivery system is designed to neutralise free radicals while actively preserving elastin, helping the skin maintain its resilience and firmness.
Dr. Alan D. Widgerow, Chief Scientific Officer at Galderma and Head of ALASTIN Innovation, describes the launch as a “significant step forward in skincare innovation,” noting its unique ability to protect against environmental stressors while simultaneously safeguarding the skin’s structural integrity.
Comprehensive Environmental Protection The formula is powered by a synergistic complex of 14 powerful antioxidants, including:
- Sodium Ascorbate: To protect against free radicals and conserve elastin.
- Lactoferrin: To support skin brightening.
- Ergothioneine: To reduce the appearance of fine lines and photodamage.
- Ectoin: To defend against pollution and UV stressors.
Clinical Results and Performance In ex vivo model analysis, the serum demonstrated a reduction in the effects of free radicals by up to 74%. Clinical studies further support its efficacy, showing visible improvements in skin texture, tone, luminosity, and wrinkles within eight weeks of use. The formula is designed to be user-friendly, offering a non-tacky, scent-free, and non-irritating experience.
The C-Radical™ Defense Antioxidant Serum will be available through selected healthcare practitioners, via the ALASTIN UK Clinic Finder, and on GetHarley.com.
