Holos ABC Active – C Creamy Gel Serum
About this product
A Vitamin C derivative more stable than Ascorbic Acid, Sodium Ascorbyl phosphate is converted into Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) in the skin. A powerful antioxidant, it scavenges free radicals preventing them from attaching to skin cells and stimulates the release of growth factors and fibroblasts that create new collagen, so, can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and help even and brighten skin tone.
Naturally derived Hexapeptide-11 is a signal peptide that stimulates the production of collagen, helping to increase skin firmness and elasticity as well as increasing cellular energy synthesis to enable rejuvenation of cells, resulting in more radiant skin. Suitable for all skin types to brighten and lift.

Key ingredients
Vitamin C & Peptides (10% Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, 2% Hexapeptide-11)Ingredients & Key Benefits of Skin Brightening ABC Active C Creamy Gel Serum
- Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate
- Superior stability to ascorbic acid.
- Converts to ascorbic acid in the skin.
- Powerful antioxidant that stops free radicals from binding to the cells – Free radicals are caused by environmental pollution that can cause the signs of ageing or imbalance in the skin.
- It protects against photo damage – fine lines / wrinkles.
- Inhibits production of melanin (Always wear sunscreen especially using Vitamin C) so reduces pigmentation and helps to protect against it.
- Brightens the skin by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase so helps even skin tone.
- Helps to treat acne and can heal acne lesions.
- It stimulates the release of growth factors and fibroblasts that create new collagen so it can have a visible effect on fine lines and wrinkles.
- Hexapeptide 11
- Peptides are short chain amino acids that make up proteins needed by the skin.
- As collagen is made up of three polypeptide chains, adding peptides to your skincare can encourage the skin to make more collagen resulting in firmer, more youthful appearance.
- Hexapeptide 11 is a signal peptide which means it sends messages to the skin cells to make more collagen, elastin and other proteins, thus providing structure, strength and support to the skin.
- Help to firm the skin by encouraging the production of collagen, elastin and proteins.
- Hexapeptide 11 increases cellular energy – Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, which reduces as we age. Greater ATP synthesis gives the skin more radiance and helps rejuvenate it.
