COLLAGEN PRODUCTION
“Ion C Powder” usually refers to a Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) powder or a stabilized Vitamin C derivative (like sodium ascorbyl phosphate or magnesium ascorbyl phosphate) that you can mix into skincare. It’s a potent antioxidant that brightens skin, boosts collagen, and helps fade hyperpigmentation — but it needs to be used carefully to avoid irritation or oxidation.
Here’s how to use it safely and effectively:
Step-by-Step: How to Use Ion C (Vitamin C) Powder
Start with clean skin
Cleanse your face as usual.
Pat dry before applying anything else.
Mix a small amount
Use the scoop provided (or a clean, dry spatula).
Typically, ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon of the powder is enough.
Mix it with a small amount (3–5 drops) of a water-based serum, essence, or moisturizer — something without acids or retinoids.
Avoid mixing with products that have niacinamide, AHAs/BHAs, or retinol, as these can destabilize Vitamin C or cause irritation.
Dissolve completely
Stir or rub between your palms until the powder dissolves.
It should feel smooth, not gritty.
Apply to face and neck
Gently press or smooth onto skin.
Use in the morning for antioxidant protection (follow with sunscreen), or at night if you prefer.
Follow with moisturizer & SPF
Vitamin C makes skin more sensitive to sunlight, so always use SPF 30+ in the daytime.
Tips & Best Practices
Start slowly: Use 2–3 times a week, then increase as tolerated.
Check concentration: The ideal Vitamin C strength for beginners is around 5–10%. If your skin is used to it, you can go up to 15–20%.
pH matters: Pure ascorbic acid works best at a low pH (~3.5), so mild stinging is normal, but burning is not.
Storage: Keep the powder tightly sealed, away from moisture and light — Vitamin C oxidizes easily.
Patch test first: Especially if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin.
🚫 Avoid Mixing Ion C Powder With:
Retinol or Retinoids – may cause irritation.
AHAs/BHAs (like glycolic, salicylic acid) – too acidic together.
Niacinamide – can reduce Vitamin C’s effectiveness when mixed directly.
Copper peptides – they deactivate each other.
