C-SHIELD

Cipher C-SHIELD Refining Antioxidant Serum

What is it? An all-in-one serum to dynamically brighten through synergistic preventative and corrective action. a powerful antioxidant complex shields from free radical damage while tone-correcting actives diminish visible blemishes, redness, and dark spots. multi-molecular weight hydrators deeply replenish. skin is instantly quenched and discolourations softened for a glowing, healthful look.

Notes from the Curator: Untap dynamic preventative and corrective synergies. Potent antioxidants, multi-pathway brighteners and biomimetic hydrators come together to refine the skin in ways never explored before. suspended within a silky, light, water-rich delivery system, advanced technologies target the appearance of hyperpigmented spots, acne marks, texture, and tone.

Let’s Get Nerdy:

Microsponge Delivery Ascorbic Acid: A multifunctional delivery system designed to provide sustained release, improve stability, and reduce the irritation of vitamin c in its clinically proven, pure form: ascorbic acid. microsponge^® is a patented technology where sensitive actives are loaded inside porous microspheres. these particles enhance results by continuously delivering a controlled dose of vitamin c throughout the day. this time-release effect mitigates sensations of itching and sensitivity while the sponge-like structure balances excess oil production. expect skin to appear brighter, smoother, and more even without the sting of traditional ascorbic acid treatments.

Refining Brightening Complex: This next-generation vitamin c serum exploits synergistic brightening and refining actives with a higher capacity for performance during uv-exposed hours. two incredibly potent tyrosinase inhibitors, 4-butylresorcinol dramatically speeds the pigmentation-correcting effects of vitamin c. touted as a complexion bioptimizer, diglucosyl gallic acid is activated by the enzymatic activity of our skin. it acts on seven biological targets to correct the look of discolourations and redness. amino acid derivative ectoin brightens by blocking the formation of pigmented spots before they appear for an incredibly brilliant, harmonious glow like never before.

Antioxidant Shield: The brightening actives were not only chosen for their tone-correction benefits, but for their proactive antioxidant qualities as well. both ectoin and diglucosyl gallic acid are exceptional photoprotectors, meaning they guard cells from uv-induced damage and prevent new hyperpigmented marks from appearing. in addition, vitamin c derivative ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate mirrors the potent antioxidant effects of ascorbic acid. we complete the story with hero superoxide dismutase, a talented enzyme that neutralizes damaging superoxide radicals while reducing visible redness.

Instant + Extended Hydration: Instantly quench skin’s thirst and give a plumped, soothed, hydrated appearance that lasts all day. the elegant polysaccharide snow mushroom adds nutritive hydration with its soft, jelly-like texture. functioning as an anti-dehydration shield, our xylitylglucoside complex helps optimise water reserves by boosting hyaluronic acid levels in the skin. the humble yet incredibly effective humectant glycerin cooperatively hydrates and supports barrier function. finally, calming madecassoside, smoothing palmitoyl tripeptide-38, and balancing prebiotic microalgae work to comprehensively restore healthful balance.
