Revitalizing Vitamin C Serum with Orange Oil, Willow Herb and Ergothioneine (1oz./30ml)

A unique vitamin C formulation that delivers a stable form of the vitamin deep into skin, where it can be maximally effective in delivering benefit for maintaining healthy, youthful skin. It functions as an antioxidant, helping to repair oxidative damage that degrades collagen and leads to wrinkles and saggy skin. When skin is exposed to UV light from the sun, a sequence of events occurs that leads to free radical production. These free radicals damage skin cell membranes and activate enzymes that break down collagen and elastin, the two most important proteins that keep skin firm and youthful. Vitamin C isn’t a substitute for sunscreen, but it does provide extra protection against oxidative damage that can lead to premature aging and skin cancer.

Vitamin C also promotes collagen and elastin production, proteins that give skin its youthful firmness and ability to resist wrinkles and sagging skin. Topical vitamin C is also effective in lightening excessive skin pigmentation, improving the appearance of stretch marks, improving skin texture, promoting healing after peels or laser treatment.

Vitamin C also stimulates the production of glycosaminoglycans, compounds present naturally in skin that bind and hold on to water and contribute to skin health. Levels of glycosaminoglycans decline with age and account for some of the undesirable skin changes that occur as skin matures.

The problem with most topical forms of vitamin C is that they’re water soluble and can’t make it through the lipid-rich skin barrier to reach their target in the skin dermis layer.So they are ineffective in stimulating collagen and elastin production. Also, vitamin C is unstable and loses its effectiveness quickly, especially when exposed to air or light. The unique form of vitamin C used in Revitalizing Vitamin C Serum is stable in air and light, as well as being lipid-soluble, which allows it to reach the dermis, the target area necessary for delivery of its anti-aging and healing benefits.

Revitalizing Vitamin C Serum includes other antioxidants that work synergistically to optimize anti-aging benefits. Beneficial vitamins and nutrients in Revitalizing Vitamin C Serum help skin hydration, cell function, improve skin turnover which decreases with age. These nutrients also enhance barrier function of the skin to protect it from dehydration, promote healing and skin regeneration, and protection from the aging and cancer producing effects of UV light and pollution.
