Guidelines in evaluating vitamin C
products:
1. Ask if the product contains L-ascorbic acid. There are
certain products containing L-ascorbic acid within a vitamin C
complex. Know what form of vitamin C is used.
2. L-ascorbic acid should be at a low pH level to
effectively penetrate the skin.
3. Check if the preparation is stable.
4. The product to look for is that which contains stable
L-ascorbic acid, low ph and high concentration.
5. Do remember that when a label says vitamin C, it does not
mean that it contains L-ascorbic acid.
Some currently advertised products containing L-ascorbic
products for the skin:
Cellex-C
Uses L-ascorbic acid as its primary ingredient, combined
with zinc sulphate and L-tyrosine, making the skin firmer, and
reduces deep lines, which gives the skin a more youthful
appearance. This formulation is applied to the face once a day
and the manufacturer claim that results can be achieved within
eight to twelve weeks.
C FactorTM
High in L-ascorbic acid, this product promotes cell renewal
and protects the skin from future damage.

1. Perks up sun-damaged skin.
2. Decreases the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
3. Improves skin tones.
4. UV Aging is inhibited to achieve younger looking
skin.
5. Can be used under daily make up.
6. Pores are unclogged.
7. Has a moisturizing formula.
8. Help in the production of collagen.

Action C
Delivers L-ascorbic acid in concentrated form, without
losing potency to improve the appearance of blemished or sun
damaged skin. Immediately upon the first application, it
hydrates the skin resulting to a vibrant skin. Manufacturer
claims that it also shields the skin from the suns rays to
minimize the effect of premature aging.
HydraXtract C
Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) combined with vitamin E,
a-bisobolol, panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5), tocopheryl acetate
(Vitamin E), aloe vera, allantoin, and chamomile extract work
to a more youthful and even skin tone.
Regardless of all the benefits vitamin C provides, one
should note that it is important not to get stuck on just one
antioxidant alone.
Skin aging is very complicated, and although vitamin C is
evidently very effective, researchers suggest that it is best
to combat factors in increasing skin aging using multiple
antioxidants and not relying on the few that have greater
publicity. It will be incorrect to say that there is one single
best antioxidant.
Finally, deal with your stress. Stress is the underlying
cause of free-radicals. Stress is aging you and making it easy
for disease to find a home. Exercise is a great way to release
stress, but your most important weapon against stress is your
own mental outlook.
You have to believe that it is worth your time and effort
and expense to keep your skin healthy and youthful. Spend some
time and money on learning how to relieve stress.
Stress is all in your mind. Your perception of your world is
your reality. The injustices, the interruptions, the changed
plans, the unfilled dreams – those are all external things –
not you. Count your blessings not your problems. There are many
marvelous programs out there to aid you in your search for a
life with less stress.
That angry set to your mouth can be changed. Those wrinkles
can be avoided. Put more joy into your life and stop trying to
keep up with the fashion models and the 20 year olds who will
some day be in your shoes.
Laugh lines are the face's memories of joyful living.
