Benefits:
Our Vitamin C 10 Serum contains potent antioxidants that are specially formulated to minimize the skin-damaging effects of free oxygen radicals. Vitamin C, also known as L-Ascorbic Acid, is a water-soluble biological reducing agent. Synthesized by most animals except humans, we must obtain Vitamin C through diet or other means. It also exists in the D conformation; however, the L-Ascorbic Acid conformation is considered the form most beneficial to the human body. It exists as a white crystalline powder or a clear aqueous solution. Vitamin C is relatively unstable and oxidizes in the presence of air or other oxidizing agents. The oxidized form is biologically inactive and can be identified if the solution is yellow or yellowish-brown. A vitamin C serum has been shown to help protect against the harmful UVA and UVB rays of the sun by neutralizing the reactive oxygen free radicals (superoxide anion, singlet oxygen, hydroxyl radical, etc.) that are responsible for photo aging and for the destruction of dermal and epidermal connective tissues. If left unchecked, the free radicals are capable of mutating cells and destroying elastin and collagen thereby reducing the skins elasticity and texture.
