Mad Hippie Triple C Night Cream is filled with 19 synergistic actives! It delivers three bio-available Vitamin Cs along with multiple anti-aging superstars such as Reishi and Cloudberry. Unlike most Vitamin Cs, this creams potent anti-aging punch is delivered in a formula that offers extreme hydration. And it comes with an adorable little bamboo spoon to hygienically scoop out just the right amount for face and throat.
MY EXPERIENCE
It is a rich, creamy and spreadable texture that dries down smooth and not sticky or tacky.
The smooth texture is tempting to slather, but it is a treating cream, so just a spoonful. It does not sting, but when I applied it, I could tell it was potent.
How to Use It
Apply the cream at night. I use this cream every other night, alternating off with the Mad Hippie Exfoliating Serum. This is potent enough that it should not be layered with other treating topicals.
What We Love
Three Vitamin Cs that work exceptionally well together. Combined with intense hydrating ingredients, this cream is a potent anti-aging remedy while leaving skin soft. Mad Hippie Triple C Night Cream contains Turmeric yet this cream does not stain skin, clothes or pillowcases.
This Triple C combo offers the best of the vitamin C spectrum of benefits: it brightens the skin, reduces discoloration, fine lines and wrinkles. I am impressed with the reduction of horizontal forehead lines.
And it feels SO luxurious!
Mad Hippie Triple C Night Cream is a combination of 19 actives. Let’s take a look.
ingredient profile
Triple C
Triple C is a combination of three bio-available Cs:
Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate
Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate is fat-soluble Vitamin C. Its’ fatty acid component penetrates the skin easily. It pairs well with other vitamin C forms for enhanced effectiveness.
Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate
A Vitamin C for sensitive skin, it is a water-soluble Vitamin C derivative. Stable in formulations. Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is less exfoliating than other Cs but still produces collagen and suppresses melanin formation.
Ascorbyl Glucoside
A stable C derivative that easily penetrates the skin. Research shows once it penetrates the skin it behaves like pure vitamin C offering antioxidant protection, collagen boosting, and fading hyperpigmentation.[1]
Reishi
Reishi is a kidney-shaped mushroom used for centuries in traditional medicinal practice. It is known as mushroom of immortality.
Reishi contains polysaccharides. These are responsible for the skin’s natural ability to hydrate and retain water.
Reishi also promotes cell regeneration while reducing skin inflammation, puffiness, and wrinkles.
Cloudberry
Cloudberries are a rare nordic berry rich in Polyphenol extracts, Omegas 3 and 6, and Vitamin E and C. [2] Cloudberry has four times the Vitamin C of an orange.
It builds collagen, fights off attacks on collagen, reduces wrinkles and hydrates. It is well suited for sensitive skin or even skin conditions like eczema.
Turmeric extract
An anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant that helps reduce and heal acne. It also reduces skin discoloration.
Chaga
Chaga mushroom is anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant. It is a natural adaptogen traditionally used in folk and medicine. It provides environmental and stress-protection to the skin, including oxidative stress. [3] It is packed with dismutase and zinc. Zinc eases acne and reduces inflammation and irritation. [4]
Ceramides
Ceramides are fatty acids that help to hold cells together and protect the epidermis. Natural ceramides deplete with age or due to excessive stripping of the natural skin oils. They make the skin smoother.
This formula uses Ceramide-3, an excellent moisturizing ingredient. Ceramide-3 keeps skin hydrated without being greasy.
Calendula Officinalis flower Extract
Calendula flower promotes the regeneration of new tissue and soothes damaged skin.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic Acid helps active ingredients sink deeper into the skin. Hyaluronic acid holds its’ weight in moisturizer, plumping the skin, making fine wrinkles and mild sagging disappear temporarily. It also drives active ingredients to deep skin layers for better results.
Shea Butter
Shea Butter treats acne scars, including cystic acne dark scars. Shea can feed the skin and overhaul the skin texture, even on deep burns.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E softens skin texture and reduces acne scars. Vitamin E makes old acne scars softer and more pliable. Vitamin E makes rough, sunburned, scarred or otherwise damaged skin soft and pliable. Once the skin is pliable, other treating ingredients can work their magic.
Blackcurrant oil
Blackcurrant oil is high in GLA and reduces inflammation.
Squalene
Vegan squalene comes from olives. Squalene mimics the skin’s natural sebum and makes the skin barrier extra smooth and soft. Suitable for even highly sensitive or irritated skin. Helpful for acne.
Sodium PCA
A natural amino acid derivative found in our skin. It binds moisture to cells, thereby extendedly holding moisture in the skin. A humectant.
Cetearyl alcohol
Cetearyl alcohol is one of the “good” alcohols that soften, soothe and heal dry skin. An emollient.
