Tested for you: 30% Vitamin C in âBoost Upâ from Trinny London
Vitamin C gives the skin the ultimate glow. But that’s not all, because this vitamin is a real all-rounder: it is effective against pigmentation spots and protects the complexion from environmental pollution and damage caused by sunlight. However, most commercially available skincare products only contain ten to 15 percent of the active ingredient.
For this reason alone, I was curious to see what effect I could achieve for my skin with the 30% vitamin C boost from Trinny London. This super-powerful serum not only contains a high concentration of vitamin C in the form of ethyl ascorbic acid. This is particularly effective as it does not need to be converted into pure ascorbic acid in the skin. In addition, ethyl ascorbic acid is very stable in cosmetics, can have a long-term effect and is very well tolerated. In âBoost upâ, together with plankton extract and natural microalgae, it strengthens the skin’s natural defenses.
Vitamin C for a glow in the morning
âVitamin C has always been one of my great passions. Our radiant serum with 30 percent vitamin C makes the skin brighter and the complexion more even. âBoost up is the best morning boost for your complexion. I can’t get enough of it.â Trinny Woodall, founder & CEO
Due to the high concentration of active ingredients, the manufacturer recommends the product âonly for very experienced skincare usersâ. Boost upâ is not suitable for first-time users of vitamin C, i.e. people who have never used highly active products before or who have sensitive or irritable skin. Such a highly concentrated formulation can cause irritation to very sensitive skin.
Patch test on the forearm
To ensure that the serum is well tolerated, a patch test (e.g. on the forearm) is recommended before the first application. The best way to do this is to apply a pump of the product to the forearm and leave it on overnight to check how well it is tolerated by the skin.
I have to admit that I didn’t do the patch test. My skin has been used to highly active ingredients such as retinol for years. However, for safety reasons, I only used the vitamin C serum every other day in the morning in the initial phase and then applied a sunscreen to gradually acclimatize my skin to the active ingredient.

To travel during my profession as a beauty journalist was never enough for my. Also my six month on a world trip didn’t do it. It always attracts me to other cities, foreign countries, on roadtrips and places I don’t know yet. But I am not only interested in “culture” and “cream”, I am also fascinated by people who have stories to tell . Such unique experiences I want to share with you.
