Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C) Vitamin C - OM4 vitamin C formulations are superior to most of the C products on the market, today, as a result of our use of a uniquely stabilized ingredient called Stay C 50. Stay C 50 is a water soluble salt form of Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, which is easily bioconverted to Vitamin C by skin enzyemes. A comprehensive Vitamin C program can help prevent photoaging and the onset of more serious skin conditions - pigmentation, the formation of fine lines and wrinkles, and in extreme cases, skin cancer. Sunscreens are also important, but cannot do it alone. Topical Vitamin C provides up to eight times the skin’s natural protection from UV damage. It is important to remember that Vitamin C cannot be stored in the body, and must be reintroduced on a daily basis. An ample doseage of Stay C 50 is suspended in our OM4 serums to deeply penetrate the empidemis, feed and nourish at a cellular level and protect against oxidative damage--loss of texture, elasticity and the natural glow of healthy skin.Other products with this ingredient: OM4 Radical Fine Line Eraser OM4 Eyebright Age Defying Moisture Complex , Carrageenan (Red Seaweed Thickener),

What people say about this product:
Reviewed by
Matthew Rating: I wasn't using this product as much as I should have been but then my wife started breathing down my neck about how serums are really important or something? I started using it and it really helps with these red blotches I get after shaving. Not sure what's in it or how it does it, but the difference is all that really matters to me (and to her) so it's a win-win.
Reviewed by
Janice Rating: Out of the 4 step system, step 3 serum seemed to be the one that really worked well with my husbands rosacea; when used in combination with the step 4 moisturizer it was a bit much for his skin. Once he started to alternate between the two his skin seemed to respond by not being so "greasy", and his "laugh" lines really softened.
