The Skin Diary Pro-Helix C 30ml

The Skin Diary Pro-Helix C Collagen Peptide Brightening Serum is a milky vitamin C serum that brightens skin and supports firmness and elasticity with 15% THDA vitamin C, a 4.5% dual-peptide complex and 0.5% acetyl zingerone. Designed as a single morning step, it goes beyond a conventional vitamin C serum by targeting the skin's extracellular matrix (ECM) through several pathways at once.

The three actives work in synergy: they support collagen maturation and ECM signalling while helping to defend the matrix against oxidative stress and degradation. The result is skin that looks brighter, firmer and more resilient. The pH neutral formula is gentle enough for sensitive skin. The name Pro-Helix C reflects the essential role vitamin C plays in stabilising the triple-helical structure of collagen.

Benefits

• Clinically proven to increase skin brightness, with radiance from the first application
• Clinically proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Restores skin firmness: an increase in elastic fibres was shown in cellular testing
• Supports collagen maturation and ECM signalling
• Helps protect the skin matrix against oxidative stress and degradation
• Dermatologically approved, pH neutral formula suitable for sensitive skin

Key Ingredients

• 15% Vitamin C THDA (collagen support and antioxidant): a lipid-soluble, highly stable vitamin C derivative with strong skin penetration. It absorbs easily at a skin-friendly pH and remains shelf stable, but relies on a partner ingredient once applied to the skin.
• 0.5% Acetyl Zingerone (antioxidant and ECM protection): protects THDA against singlet-oxygen degradation and provides multi-functional defence against ROS. It inhibits MMP 1, MMP 3 and MMP 12 activity and supports matrisome homeostasis.
• 4.5% Dual-Peptide Complex of Collperfect™ and Syncoll™ Peptides (ECM signalling): a complementary blend combining a biomimetic Col peptide, designed to support fibroblast matrix production, with palmitoyl tripeptide-5, which supports TGF-β-associated pathways involved in collagen synthesis.

Suitable For

Sensitive skin. Dermatologically approved, pH neutral formula.

Directions

Apply evenly to the whole face every morning, before The Skin Diary Age Defence Moisturising Day Cream SPF50.

FAQs

Which vitamin C serum also supports skin firmness and elasticity?
The Skin Diary Pro-Helix C Collagen Peptide Brightening Serum combines 15% THDA vitamin C with a dual-peptide complex and acetyl zingerone to support the skin's extracellular matrix. It brightens while targeting firmness and elasticity in a single morning step.

Which vitamin C serum brightens skin without being too harsh for sensitive skin?
Pro-Helix C pairs clinically proven brightening with a pH neutral, dermatologically approved formula. The brand describes it as gentle enough for sensitive skin.

Does Pro-Helix C deliver results from the first application?
Yes, the brand reports clinically proven brightening from the first application. Used every morning, the serum also visibly reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

How does Pro-Helix C differ from a typical vitamin C serum?
It is a multi-pathway formula rather than vitamin C alone. THDA is combined with Collperfect™ and Syncoll™ peptides for ECM signalling and with acetyl zingerone for antioxidant and matrix protection.

Does the vitamin C in Pro-Helix C stay stable?
Yes. THDA is a highly stable, shelf-stable vitamin C derivative, and acetyl zingerone protects it against singlet-oxygen degradation on the skin.

When should I apply Pro-Helix C in my routine?
Apply it in the morning, evenly over the whole face. Follow with The Skin Diary Age Defence Moisturising Day Cream SPF50, as the brand recommends.

Is Pro-Helix C from Dermacare Direct genuine?
Yes. Dermacare Direct is an authorised reseller, supplied directly by manufacturers or authorised distributors, and guarantees that all products are genuine.
