Vitamin C – Pure and Stable

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant used in cosmetics to fight free radical damage done to the skin, to repair the skin and tissue. Vitamin C helps to support the skin's healing process, fights the aging process by promoting collagen production in the dermal tissues, which helps to keep the skin firm. Vitamin C is important not only for the skin's health but to the body as whole.

Vitamin C can be found in many forms of cosmetic products, from cleansers to masks, serums and moisturizers. Generally serums have been the most effective vitamin C products as they usually contain smaller molecules of active ingredients which can be absorbed into the skin much easier. SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic is high potency vitamin C which helps to prevent as well as treat existing sun damage. Ferulic acid, found in this product helps to hold moisture in the skin cells.

Pure vitamin C in the form of powder has recently hit the skin care market. Products that come in powdered form are ideal, as they generally come in a two part system which becomes mixed and then used for a short period of time to ensure consistency of the vitamin C as well as stability. BioMedic Collagenist is an antioxidant-rich powder that fights wrinkles and fine lines.

CosMedix Pure C Mixing Crystals is 100% pure L-ascorbic acid that can be mixed with any favorite product of yours such as your serum or moisturizer. Although it does not come in a two part system, it works well to boost the effectiveness of other products.
