Road Test 

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant which is essential to overall good health, as it’s required for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body, and it helps to block damage caused by free radicals which contribute to ageing. And when it comes to skin care vitamin C is the ultimate illuminator, giving your complexion a healthy glow, along with additional perks including a reduction in redness and pigmentation, and boosted collagen production. Over the years a number of skin care brands have recognised the importance of vitamin C as an added ingredient in products, or more recently as a specific serum, and the trending anti-ageing brand, ESK, has two vitamin C serums among it’s growing list of must-have skin savers. ESK is short for Evidence Skincare, and it was created and developed by the husband and wife team, Daniel Rubinstein and Dr Ginni Mansberg. The products in the ESK range are formulated on evidence-based science without marketing hype, using active ingredients in the forms, concentrations and formulations supported by peer review evidence, and without harmful chemicals, preservatives, perfumes or animal testing. And there’s more: the brand is designed to suit a variety of skin types, as well as help reverse skin damage and slow the ageing process. The first of its two vitamin C skin savers is Reverse C Serum, a powerful anti-oxidant serum designed for dry and normal skin. The formula contains a powerful 10 per cent vitamin C in the form of L-ascorbic acid and 1 per cent vitamin E, or tocopherol, which combine to repair and prevent the appearance fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation and skin roughness while also hydrating the skin. Using the product is easy, simply apply a couple of pumps to the face and neck in the morning after cleansing. The product feels lovely on the skin and melts into it quickly and easily, leaving your skin feeling soft, smooth, clear and glowing. One week in and my skin looks and feels great. Two weeks in and some of the pigment spots which had darkened during the summer months have definitely softened. And as we enter into the cooler, drier southeastern Queensland months, my skin is adequately hydrated too!
