Brighter, Tighter, Smoother Skin With Vitamin C
Did you know that there is an ingredient that creates brighter, tighter and smoother skin. We eat it everyday but now we can feed it topically to our skin. This powerhouse ingredient is Vitamin C. This potent vitamin acts as an antioxidant to reduce skin inflammation, is a safe, effective lightening agent, and promotes healthy collagen production, explains Joshua Zeichner, the director of cosmetic and clinical research at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City.
For lightening pigmentation, Vitamin C is a safe alternative to hydroquinone. Research has shown the long-term impacts to using harmful lightening ingredients in skin care products. Although it may reveal rapid lightening results, medical-grade formulations may not be gentle enough for all skin types and can lead to darkening of spots with overexposure in the sun. Botanical-based lighteners like Vitamin C helps shield the skin from sun damage and pollution while fading skin discoloration.
Antioxidants play an important anti-aging role – protecting against damaging free radicals that attack healthy skin cells and speed up the aging process.
Collagen is what makes the skin flexible. As we age, our bodies’ ability to produce collagen declines, leading to thin, weak skin. Topical Vitamin C revitalizes the skin’s flexibility, creating a youthful appearance.
Tons of research has confirmed these positive attributes of Vitamin C Skin Care. The antioxidant properties of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), its role in collagen synthesis and its lightening properties make Vitamin C Skin Care a vital component for daily skin health. In addition, It has been shown that Vitamin C may help prevent and treat ultraviolet (UV)-induced photo-damage.
Vitamin C, with its unique benefits, instills confidence in dermatologists and skin care experts alike. Look to Biokosmetik of Texas’ selection of professional skin care products with vitamin C to brighten, tighten and refresh your skin.
