Facts about vitamin C serums
1. Consumer beware - not all products contain sufficient vitamin C to be of benefit Most products on the market do not have sufficient concentration to be of benefit to the skin. Many companies, keen to cash in on the market trends for antioxidants in skin care, put only miniscule amounts in and consumers unknowingly will buy a product that will be of no benefit. Unfortunately you cannot judge from the prestige or price of the product you buy, you need to look at the concentrations.
2. Vitamin C does not work in everyone for reasons that are not yet known; Ascorbic Acid at a good concentration does not work in everyone. It may only be 70% of the population who get the age reversing benefits of vitamin C. Vitamin C, however is a potent antioxidant and you still should get the benefits of protection from UV induced cell damage even if it does not keep you looking younger.
3. Vitamin C in the form of Ascorbic Acid is very expensive Vitamin C and is very unstable and difficult to get into a formulation this in part explains why ascorbic acid skin products tend to be very expensive.
