We're getting back to basics this month with our Osmosis ABC's and talking about vitamins A, B, C, and E, essentials in any skincare routine. We are in an exciting era of vitamin accessibility, especially when it comes to your skin. Let's explore the top vitamins for your skin, each of their different benefits, and which Osmosis products contain their power.
A
Vitamin A can come in multiple different forms and is the ultimate tool for age reversal. Here at Osmosis, we believe the most effective yet gentle form of Vitamin A is Retinaldehyde, which is the superstar of many of our top-selling serums. Read more on Retinaldehyde here!
Which products can deliver?:
All Vitamin A Serums
Facial Infusion
B
The most commonly used form of a vitamin B in skincare is actually vitamin B3, or niacinamide. It is effective in all aspects of the skin restoration process by increasing nutrients in the skin. It also contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties for ultimate skin renewal.
Osmosis boasts B in:
Niacinamide Powder Active & Powder Blend
Facial Infusion
Refresh & Refresh PM
All Vitamin A Serums
Repair
Replenish
Enlighten
C
Vitamin C is an immunity booster no matter where on (or in) your body you put it! When applied topically, it helps protect the skin from environmental damage and free radicals that cause wrinkles and lines. It also improves collagen production and can help decrease the appearance of hyperpigmentation!
Get a dose with:
Vitamin C Powder Blend
Catalyst AC-11
Catalyst Plus+
E
Vitamin E is famous for its antioxidants for the body and skin! It is found naturally in our skin but can deplete over time as a result of overexposure to the sun. Tocopherol is the form of vitamin E used in various Osmosis products, many of which are in the Colour Line! Meaning your makeup works to nourish the skin, instead of clogging pores or intoxicating it.
Find it in:
