Vitamin C Skin Care - The Challenge

Vitamin C is often considered an anti-wrinkle or anti-aging agent. The main objective of 'Vitamin C skin care', in scientific terms, is to increase the synthesis of collagen (a structural protein present in the skin). The added benefit of skin care with vitamin C is related to its ability to fight free radicals that damage the skin.


 Vitamin C   is often considered an anti-wrinkle or anti-aging agent. The main objective of ' Vitamin C   skin care', in scientific terms, is to increase the synthesis of collagen (a structural protein present in the skin). The added benefit of skin care with  Vitamin C   is related to its ability to fight free radicals that damage the skin.

Skin care with vitamin C, however, is facing a major challenge today. This is related to the tendency of  Vitamin C   skin care products to oxidize. When coming into contact with an oxidizing agent (for example, air), the  Vitamin C   contained in the skincare products of the skin with  Vitamin C   oxidizes; thus making the skin care product unnecessary  Vitamin C   (actually counter-effective). Oxidized  Vitamin C   gives the skin care product  Vitamin C   a yellowish brown color. This is something you need to check before you buy a skin care product containing vitamin C. Even after buying a skin care product containing vitamin C, you should keep it properly and check that it is still good to use (that is, it does not have a yellowish brown texture).

Manufacturers of skin care products containing  Vitamin C   have tried to treat this (oxidation) problem in a number of ways (and research on skincare products containing  Vitamin C   is at the top of their list). listing). One such method for maintaining the effectiveness of skin care products with  Vitamin C   over the long term is to maintain a high concentration (for example, 10%) of vitamin C. However, this makes the skincare products of the skin with  Vitamin C   even more expensive.

Skin care products with  Vitamin C   are already quite cheap and making them even more expensive will throw the product manufacturers out of order. The other method is to use  Vitamin C   derivatives (such as ascorbyl palmitate and magnesium ascorbyl phosphate). These are not only more stable, but also inexpensive. Although derivative products are not as effective as  Vitamin C   skin care products, their stability against oxidation is a very desirable feature that makes them very attractive. In addition, they are known to be less irritating too.

Talking about the effectiveness of skin care products with vitamin C, it is important to mention that not everybody reacts to  Vitamin C   treatments. So, this is by no means a magic potion. If you do not see a noticeable difference in your skin, it may be because your skin does not respond to  Vitamin C   treatment (and  Vitamin C   skin care products may not be the cause at all).
