Topical Vitamin C is one of the most recent developments in the world of medical science, as an aid for skin protection. Vitamin C, when manufactured into a Topical formation, becomes an excellent antidote against photoaging of the skin. The currently available products contain very low levels of antioxidants, which are not well absorbed by the skin.
Inventors are especially excited about the protective qualities and anti-inflammatory effects of this vitamin. Once applied, it is absorbed in the skin and cannot be washed or sweated off. Research studies have shown that Topical Vitamin C provides wavelength-independent ultraviolet protection, which is much more effective than any other skin care products. When exposed to sunlight, Topical Vitamin C products prevent sunburn damage without blocking vitamin D synthesis, unlike other sunscreen products in the market. It might also stimulate melanin production without causing harm to neighboring cells.
Topical Vitamin C has a tendency to degrade rapidly, and hence must be stored in airtight, light-resistant containers. Some of the side effects include stinging and skin irritation. Research studies have shown that regular application of Topical Vitamin C results in clinically visible anti-wrinkling. When used along with such vitamins as C and E, it provides utmost protection against the exogenous oxidative stressors encountered in daily life.
Adequate levels of Topical Vitamin C can be achieved from substantial intakes of fruit, vegetables and juices daily. A correctly formulated Topical Vitamin C is very difficult to manufacture. This is due to the instable nature of L-ascorbic acid, the key ingredient of Vitamin C. Moreover, the cheaper variations of the products are not absorbed properly by the skin. Researchers are constantly trying to find a more stable version of the product. In order to get an authentic version of a Topical Vitamin C product, it is always advisable to consult a doctor, pharmacist or dermatologist.
