Vitamin C is one of the most favourite vitamins for dermatologists and for a reason! Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, which reduces the impact of free radicals causing oxidative stress that our skin faces every day such as pollution.
These free radicals damage our skin and cause premature aging. Vitamin C is mainly used in skin care to clarify and even skin tone, reduce pigmentation, as an anti-age ingredient and to reduce imperfections.
We use Ecocert certified vitamin C stabilized form, ascorbyl glucoside, which is much gentler to your skin compared to other L-ascorbic acid forms. Ascorbyl glucoside is the vitamin C form that has achieved best results in clinical studies. Read more about vitamin C from ingredients below!
In co-operation with Estonian University of Life Sciences Estonian nettle extract was developed for the very first time from local organic wild nettle. The extract has been prepared at an optimal concentration that includes the highest amount of antioxidants and polyphenols.
Charity is one of the most important values for us in Nôgel. For every purchased product we donate 50 cents to Estonian Cancer Society for the prevention of skin cancer.
All products have been packed into innovative airless pump bottles that protect the products from oxygen and dirt. Vitamin C serum bottle is a unique smart bottle made of glass that knows when the serum has finished and the pump can then be opened. Such bottle offers the product maximum protection and purity.
We use Ecocert and Cosmos certified ingredients in combination with Estonian nettle extract.
The vitamin C product line has been clinically and dermatologically tested. The efficacy of products was tested during 2 months´ time in cooperation with a dermatologist.
The aim of the serum clinical tests was to understand the efficacy of the serum for reducing pigmentation, even and clarify skin tone and reduce signs of aging.
During the clinical tests of the creams, we analyzed the transepidermal water loss (TEWL) of the subjects and determined the level of hydration/moisture of the skin surface (Stratum corneum). In addition, a dermatologist performed a dermatological examination at the beginning of the study and 2 months after using the creams.

In summary, it can be said that during the two-month period, the skin hydration of the test subjects improved. Dryness, roughness and flaking of the skin receded, the skin structure became smoother and more even, and the skin became tighter. It was also noticeable that fine wrinkles became more superficial, spots became lighter, acne breakouts decreased and became less inflamed.
Vitamin C products are suitable for all skin types for young and mature skin for year-round use. Products are ideal for 25+ skin care and for skin with imperfections. Products are based on water, aloe vera and birch sap and do not include comedogenic ingredients.
Apply a thin layer of product (press pump once or max twice) to face and neck in the mornings and evenings after cleaning your face. As products include also hyaluronic acid, we suggest patting some water gently to your face after using the serum – to get the maximum effect! Use serum before moisturizing creams.
The serum includes also sugar molecules and right after applying the serum you may feel that your skin is a tiny bit sticky – this is normal and goes away once the serum has been fully absorbed in couple of minutes. Vitamin C serum can also be used as an eye serum.
Use sun protection when spending time in the sun.
Store bottles in an upright position. If the bottle has been on its side, e.g. while traveling, wait 5 minutes before using the product. The airtight bottle works optimally when stored upright.
