![]() Overall, Ascorbyl Palmitate is our least favorite vitamin C derivative. Regarding the skin-brightening properties of pure vitamin C, this is another magic property AP does not have, or at least there is no data, not even in-vitro, about it. The only good thing we can write about Ascorbyl Palmitate is that there is an in-vitro (made in the lab, not on real people) study showing that it might be able to boost collagen production. It was only an in-vitro study meaning that it was done on cell cultures and not on real people, but still, this also does not support the use of AP too much. Third, another study that wanted to examine the antioxidant properties of AP was surprised to find that even though AP does have nice antioxidant properties following UVB radiation (the same one that comes from the sun) it also promotes lipid peroxidation and cytotoxicity. We are highly skeptical what effect a tiny amount of AP has in a formula. Even if it can be converted, the palmitate part of the molecule is more than the half of it, so the efficacy will not be good and we have never seen a serum that contains a decent (and proudly disclosed) amount of AP. This does not mean that ascorbyl palmitate cannot penetrate the skin (because it can, it's oil soluble and the skin likes to absorb oil soluble things) but this means that it's questionable if ascorbyl palmitate can be converted into pure Vit C in the skin. Second, a study that examined the skin absorption of vitamin C found that ascorbyl palmitate did not increase the skin levels of AA. A great study in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology compared a bunch of vitamin C derivatives and this derivative was the only one where the study said in terms of stability that it's "similar to AA". PEG-9 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl Dimethiconeįirstly, it's stability is only similar to that of pure ascorbic acid (AA), which means it is not really stable. Phytosteryl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate “I’m proud of this! I think I did okay.Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer ![]() Finally, a mist of setting spray and a spritz of Ciara’s eau de parfum provide the finishing touches. Lips, on the other hand, are accentuated by MAC’s lip liner in shade Cork along with two plumping glosses. Then, Fenty Beauty and Makeup by Mario highlighters create the ultimate glowing enhancements to her cheekbones. “If you’re going to go bronze, then go bronze!” she says. ![]() Moving on to eyes, Anthony sweeps an array of warm, shimmering shadows across her lids, with a hint of gold to her inner corner and lower lash line. She’s quick to set her base with Laura Mercier’s setting powder too, ahead of contour and bronzer. “You want to go down the neck and everywhere because you don’t want to have splotches and stuff.” Tarte’s Shape Tape is her concealer of choice, buffed in quickly with a sponge to avoid creasing. We see her etch her brows with precision, then deftly blend Giorgio Armani’s beloved foundation across her visage-first with a brush, then a sponge. “For those of you who struggle like me, let’s give this a whirl.” Though the 41-year-old is not a pro by trade, it’s clear she’s learned her fair share while in the makeup chair. “Let me preface this by saying I am not a makeup artist,” Anthony muses. It’s as simple as adding a few drops to her edges. To promote hair growth, her Inala serum is just the solution, thanks to a powerhouse blend of pure rice water, biotin, and arginine. With her skin prepped, it’s time for a hair treatment. ![]() “I do those two things, and I don’t know if you can tell, but my face is, like, glowing now-and also the redness is going down a little bit,” she says moments before lathering on a lightweight moisturizer. She layers an essence and eye cream then unveils a Skkn by Kim serum duo. But how does the star stay camera- (or Instagram-) ready? Here, the TV personality, entrepreneur, and actor, who stars in Netflix’s latest rom-com The Perfect Find, walks us through her beauty routine, from everyday skin care to bronzed makeup.Īdmittedly, Anthony always starts with a Neutrogena towelette to ensure all makeup residue is removed, followed by Shani Darden’s cleansing serum. Whether she’s hosting the Met Gala red carpet or headed to a girls’ night out with bestie Kim Kardashian, her social calendar is packed. These days, La La Anthony has plenty of reasons to get glam.
