Since being founded in London in 1999 by former beauty editor Maria Hatzistefanis, Rodial has gone on to be supplied in 35 countries - including in luxury department stores such as Harrods, Harvey Nichols, and Saks Fifth Avenue. This acclaim has only helped to bolster the reputation of Rodial, earning pride of place in the homes of countless influencers and celebrities across the globe. Hydrating and Nourishing: Formulated with hyaluronic acid, this eye cream provides intense hydration, plumping the skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also helps to improve the skin’s elasticity, leaving it smooth and supple. Firstly, it's stability is only similar to that of pure ascorbic acid (AA), which means it is not really stable. A great study in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology compared a bunch of vitamin C derivatives and this derivative was the only one where the study said in terms of stability that it's "similar to AA". Not really that good. If that weren't enough, Ectoin is also shown to protect the skin from blue and visible light, and pigmentation resulting from environmental stress (think UV, pollution, oxidative stress). I’ve recently started to using liquid exfoliants so I was excited to try this product! It’s an exfoliating, brightening tonic that contains 5% acid complex for exfoliate, clarify and tone the skin. It has a unique plump dispenser which makes such there’s no waste and it would be great for travelling. I’ve only used it a couple of times so far but it’s working very well and I can’t wait to see more results in the future.

Regarding conversion, we can cite onlya manufacturers claimsaying thatEAC is metabolized in the skin into pure ascorbic acid (and the ascorbic acid content of EAC is very high - 86,4% - compared to the usual 50-60% Vitamin C content of other derivatives). Second, a study that examined the skin absorption of vitamin C found that ascorbyl palmitate did not increase the skin levels of AA. This does not mean thatascorbyl palmitate cannot penetrate the skin (because it can, it's oil soluble and the skin likes to absorb oil soluble things) but this means that it's questionable ifascorbyl palmitate can be converted into pure Vit C in the skin. Even if it can beconverted, the palmitate part of the molecule is more than the half of it, so the efficacy will not be good and we have never seen a serum that contains a decent (and proudly disclosed) amount of AP. We are highly skeptical what effect a tiny amount of AP has in a formula. Rodial makeup is as boundless as its skincare range. A full variety of products is on offer, from lips, eyes, and brow products to colour correction, contour, and blush products. Rodial makeup also caters to a variety of skin types, ensuring additional benefits alongside coverage. Rodial is a global luxury skincare brand that was founded by Maria Hatzistefanis in 1999. An international journalist and former beauty editor, Hatzistefanis identified a gap in the market for a high performance, serious skincare range that would offer targeted treatments to specific skin concerns driven by a commitment to seeing results. Rodial’s skincare collection prides itself on providing instant results and long-lasting benefits. As a global luxury beauty brand, Rodial prides itself on offering high-quality treatments targeted to specific concerns, from blemishes and acne to dullness and sagging. The brand promises long-lasting results with instant benefits, continually innovating new solutions and formulas that improve the appearance and health of your skin and body.

A celebrity favourite, improve the appearance of your bust and décolleté with this innovative formula that helps to plump and firm skin for a younger suppler looking chest area without surgery. Matrixyl3000 combined with the brands signature anti-ageing Pomegranate acts to smooth fine lines whilst the Volufiline and Hyaluronic Acid infusions deliver intense moisture to visibly improve imperfections. However, for a Vitamin C derivative to workit's not enough just to be stable, they also have to be absorbed into the skin and be converted there to pure Vitamin C. We have good news regarding the absorption: on top of manufacturer claims, there is somedata (animal study) demonstrating in can get into the skin, and it seems to be better at it than Ascorbyl Glucoside, another vitamin C derivative.

Regarding the skin-brightening properties of pure vitaminC, this is another magic property AP does not have, or at least there is no data, not evenin-vitro,about it. The brand provides highly efficacious, anti-ageing skincare for all complexions and ages with formulas which are designed to bridge the gap between scientific intervention and natural, plant-based products. All Rodial products contain their world-class anti-aging ingredient, and nature’s most powerful collagen booster the Pomegrante Ellagic Tannon which firms the skin and boosts the skins natural collagen production to give plumper, smoother more youthful skin. Their products are recommended by both dermatologists and plastic surgeons offering a safe, reliable and non-invasive alternative to injectables and surgical procedures. The box is focused around the Rodial Vitamin C range which is designed to brighten the skin. It’s the perfect range for this time of the year when my skin becomes drier and dull. There are a few full sized products within the box as well as some minis. The first mini is the 10ml Vit C Drops which contain a 6% vitamin C complex to boost radiance and reduce the appearance of pigmentation and age spots. It’s a lovely addition to my skincare routine and something I never considered using before. Vitamin C Powerhouse: This eye souffle is infused with a potent dose of Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that helps to brighten the skin and reduce the appearance of dark circles. Vitamin C also aids in collagen production, promoting a firmer and more youthful eye area.Soothing and Calming: Enriched with chamomile extract, the Rodial Vitamin C Eye Souffle soothes and calms the delicate skin around the eyes. It helps to reduce puffiness and inflammation, giving you a refreshed and well-rested look. If you're seeking a timeless brand that offers skincare, makeup, and body care under one roof, you've come to the right place with Rodial.

This protection mechanism means good things when it comes to our skin: Ectoin has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, pollution& light protecting, skin hydrating, barrier repairing as well as anti-aging properties. Third, another study that wanted to examine the antioxidant properties of AP was surprised to find that even though AP does have nice antioxidant properties; following UVB radiation (the same one that comesfrom the sun) it also promotes lipid peroxidation and cytotoxicity. It was only an in-vitro study meaning that it was done on cellcultures and not on real people, but still, this also does not support the use of AP too much.Suitable for All Skin Types: This eye cream is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It is dermatologically tested and free from parabens, sulfates, and other harmful chemicals, making it safe and gentle for daily use. Conclusion: Rodial has a huge celebrity following, with the likes of Gwenyth Paltrow singing the brands praises, their cult products give you a non-surgical solution to all your biggest concerns. Take a look at some of the brands most famous products. A tiny, 5-person study examined the long-term (7 days) skin hydration effect of 1% Ectoin. During the study, hydration levels increased up to 200% compared to placebo, and even 7 days after stopping the treatment hydration status was largely preserved. Higher concentration (5-7%) Ectoin treatments are also used as OTC medical products for the treatment of eczema or atopic skin. Another remarkable property of Ectoin is protecting theepidermal immune cells called Langerhans cells from UV damage. 0.3% and 0.5% Ectoin cream was used twice a day for 14 days on the forearm and then irradiated with 1.5 MED UV (one and a half times the UV dose that causes detectable redness). While the untreated, UV-stressed area showed a 40% decrease in viable Langerhans cells, 0.5% Ectoin showed 100% protection (and 0.3% showed ~95% protection). The only good thing we can write about Ascorbyl Palmitate is that there is an in-vitro (made in the lab, not on real people) study showing that it might be able to boost collagen production.

A placebo-controlled 10-person study examined a four-week treatment with 0.5% Ectoin in the crow's feet area and founda significant anti-wrinkle effect (-19% mean wrinkle depth) in 100% of the participants. Another double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study with 24 participants used a 2% Ectoin cream twice a day for 4 weeks and found an improvement in all of the measured parameters, such aswrinkle volume, skin scaling,roughness, and elasticity. Infused with a host of beneficial ingredients this triple potency serum performs a lifting and firming effect to re-densify the appearance of facial contours. The product’s wrinkle-plumping properties repair and sculpt the face whilst improving elasticity to leave your skin looking redefined and lifted. Try for instantly younger, fresher looking skin. As for the three magic abilities of Vitamin C, we again mostly haveonly the manufacturer's claims, but at least those are very promising. EAC seems to have both an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect, and it's claimed to be able to boost the skin's collagen production. The strong point of EACthoughis skin brightening. On top of manufacturer claims, there is also clinical in-vivo (tested on real people) data showing that 2% EAC can improve skin tone and whiten the skin.Description Rodial Vitamin C Eye Souffle 15ml Revitalize and Brighten Your Eyes with Rodial Vitamin C Eye Souffle The keyskill of Ectoin is protection that applies also to the skin. Its main mode of action is binding water molecules (aka kosmotropic) and creating hydro complexes. These complexes then surround important biomolecules (e.g. cells, proteins, enzymes) and form a stabilizing hydration shell around them. Rodial skincare and makeup products work in perfect harmony together, with the former range plumping and sculpting your face in preparation for the application of the latter. So whether you choose to invest in just one product or a whole line of Rodial offerings, the application process will be seamless from start to finish. In Matrixyl 3000,Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 is coupled with Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7and the duo works in synergy to reduce wrinkles and give younger looking skin. According to the manufacturer's in-vivo (made on real people) test, applying 3% Matrixyl 3000 twice a day for 2 months resulted in all of the following things: Therefore, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 is believed to be able to stimulate collagen production in the skin, and more collagen means fewer wrinkles and younger looking skin.
