Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant
for skin. According to studies, it is a valuable antioxidant
against sun damage. It supplements the skin's ability to neutralize
free radical damage (photo damage).
Look for Vitamin C creams that contain magnesium ascorbyl
phosphate and textrahexyldecyl ascorbate. In order for a Vitamin
C cream to be effective in skincare products, it needs a stable
environment, or else it will lose potency when exposed to
air.
There are several good Vitamin C cream products on the market:
- is an
excellent product that combines the antioxidant benefits
of vitamin C with skin-enhancing peptides to improve skin
tone and firmness. It is packaged in an airtight opaque
bottle which helps keep the vitamin C (in the form of ascorbic
acid) stable. This serum contains a 3% concentration of
ascorbic acid in an emulsion that helps keep the vitamin
C stable. More information on DDF
