Vitamin
C
Studies
show that topical Vitamin C, know by its chemical name as
L-ascorbic acid, stimulates collagen synthesis, provides
photoprotection, stays in the skin or up to 72 hours, and
prevents UV immunosuppression, a reaction that occurs in
more than 90% of skincancer patients.
Vitamin
C and Sun Protection
Topical
vitamin C protect skin against and helps reduce harm caused
by exposure to sunlight. It does this by neutralizing reactice
oxygen species (free radicals), the highly reactive molecules
produced by the interaction of sunlight, cell mambranes,
and other components of skin tissue. It does not absorb
light, and hence, is not a sunscreen, so it should not be
used in replacement of sunscreen, but rather is a good companion
to sunscreen products. Plus, once vitamin C gets into the
skin, it cannot be washed, rubbed, or perspired off.
Vitamin
C is what is known as an antioxidant. Antioxidants protect
skin by neutralizing free radicals, components that would
otherwise destroy skin and its components. These free radicals
are stimulated by ultraviolet light and also occur naturally
in the oxygen atmosphere.
Vitamin
C and Collagen
Vitamin
C is the only antioxidant that has been proven to increase
collagen synthesis. Collagen synthesis is essential to maintain
healthy skin. Studies show that collagen decreases with
aging and that photoaging accelerates the decrease. L-ascorbic
acid serves as a signal, relaying a critical message to
collagen genes to synthesize collagen, as well as being
a cofactor for two enzymes imporatant in collagen synthesis.
Wrinkles
and lines are caused in part from the build-up of free radicals
in skin cells over time. These substances are harmful, breaking
down the skin's elasticity and smoothness. Similarly, scars
from acne or surgery are also made up of skin cells that
are not exact healthy copies of original cells. Complex-C™
is reduces the amount of free radicals in the skin by transporting Vitmain C to
these cells. In this
manner Complex-C™ also promotes the growth of new healthy
skin cells while rejuvinating older cells, even those damaged
by scars or the natural aging process.
Vitamin
C is not only an essential nutrient for the human body,
but is also an important tool for smoother, healthier skin.
Thanks to Complex-C™ you can increase the amount of
ascorbic acid in your skin, restoring your skin kike never
before. We guarantee it!
