This highly concentrated network complex combines a 30% concentration of highly-stable Ethylated L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) in an antioxidant network of Superoxide Dismutase, Selenium and Zinc to support a strong fight against oxidation while enhancing barrier function, balancing visible discolouration, reviving skin tone, and supporting collagen production and repair mechanisms.

While the initial tone-enhancing benefits of ELAN will be noticeable from the third day of once-daily use, benefits at-large are continuing and cumulative.

Why use Ethylated L-Ascorbic Acid?

Vitamin C is a notoriously unstable ingredient, despite its multitude of benefits for the skin. Ascorbic Acid, in particular, is unstable in water, yet is the most active on the skin. Other stabilised forms of Vitamin C need to be converted to L-Ascorbic Acid to be used by the skin. NIOD's  Ethylated L-Ascorbic Acid 30% Network, therefore, uses an ethylated form of L-Ascorbic Acid, for a water-free solution. They then support this with a network of antioxidants, including Superoxide Dismutase, Selenium, and Zinc , to achieve a sustained activity of Vitamin C while also providing their own benefits to the skin, 

Who is NIOD Ethylated L-Ascorbic Acid 30% Network (NIOD ELAN) best suited to?

Ideal for all skin types, except those with very sensitive skin. Perfect for anyone looking for a high-strength, ultra-stable antioxidant serum to help protect against the premature signs of ageing, while also correcting the existing visible signs of ageing.

How do I use NIOD Ethylated L-Ascorbic Acid 30% Network (NIOD ELAN)?

Apply in the evening time, avoiding contact with the eyes. Please note, although NIOD Ethylated L-Ascorbic Acid 30% Network is an oil-free product, it contains a solvent to improve penetration which may feel slightly oily on the skin for about 1 minute after application. This will disappear quickly. 

If used with NIOD Copper Amino Isolate Serum, please wait at least 20 seconds after application of CAIS before applying this serum as the acidic nature of ELAN will harm the CAIS peptides. Do not mix CAIS and ELAN directly. They must be applied separately within 20 seconds of application of CAIS.
