L-Ascorbic Acid is one of the most widely used ingredients in skin care products, but as most users know, unfortunately most of what is out on the market today is ineffective because the concentrations are too low, and then you have the risks of oxidation (which happens easily if not properly stabilized). These are NO LONGER a problem however, when the L-Ascorbic Acid is used in it's purest and guaranteed fresh dry form.
Vitamin C benefits skin in two important ways. First, it's essential for the synthesis of collagen, a key structural protein of the skin. Adding Vitamin C to skin cell cultures dramatically increases the synthesis of collagen. Second, Vitamin C is a super-powerful antioxidant and can help reduce skin damage caused by free radicals.
Free radicals break down collagen, the "glue" that holds skin together, makes it firm, and preserves its wrinkle-free quality for as long as possible. Collagen also gives the skin resilience, lessening the likelihood of wrinkles. In the worst cases, free radicals can run amuck and permanently damage skin cells, causing blotches, or even skin cancer.
