% Percentage relevance of Vitamin C Serum & Cream for anti aging, lines & wrinkles

It is commonly known that vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a powerful antioxidant that protects your skin from free radical damage associated with sun exposure, pollution, smoking, drinking and eating bad food.  Clinical trials havs also shown that vitaminc C can reduce free radical damage associated with sun burnt skin.

Unstable creams & serums

Unfortunately, solutions of vitamin C are extremely unstable.  Vitamin C creams and serums commonly use L-ascorbic acid as  their active vitamin C ingredient.  After opening a bottle or tube of cream and exposing the product to air (oxygen), colour change and effectiveness reduction occur as the L-ascorbic acid rapidly converts to dehydroasorbic acid.  The total decomposition of L-ascorbic acid after exposure to air takes about 1 hour.  This makes the formulation of sound effective products using L-ascobic acid difficult.

Various manufacturers of Vitamin C products using L-ascobic acid quote various % percentage concentrations of their product with the higher the percentage quoted alluding to the effectiveness of the cream or serum.  This can be misleading as no matter how high the percentage of L-ascobic acid used,  L-ascorbic acid totally decomposes and becomes innefective after 1 hour, making the product virtually useless only several days after opening.

Enhanced stability

A new formulation of Vitamin C, aminopropyl ascorbyl phosphate, has been found to be significantly more stable in comparison to L-ascorbic acid.  Comparison studies have found that aminopropyl ascorbyl phosphate remains 99% stable after 24 hours, 95.5% stable after 6 days and 93.5% stable after 10 days.  Aminopropyl ascorbyl phosphate is significantly more stable than asorbic acid, L-ascorbic acid and magnesium ascobyl phosphate.

Where can I get it?

Clearskincare Vitamin C Serum new formulation uses aminopropyl ascorbyl phosphate, the most stable form of vitamin C for creams and serums available worldwide.  Clearskincare Vitamin C Serum is water based and so absorbs completely into the skin leaving no residue and contains no artificial dyes or fragrances.

What about L-ascobic acid?

L-ascobic acid is still a very effective form of vitamin C, it just decomposes very quickly.  Clearskincare has overcome this problem with its Vitamin C 100% Skin Peel. The Clearskincare Vitamin C 100% Skin Peel presents the L-ascobic acid in powder form allowing the user to make up their own 100% pure vitamin C skin peels in the volume they want to use at that time.  You only make up as much as you want to use, there is no wastage and no throwing away of oxidised useless product.  Another benefit is that your Clearskincare Vitamin C 100% Skin Peel is self neutralising on the skin, no risk of burns or harmful effects or any need to wash off your peel (you can if you want too). This is most cost effective method of purchasing vitamin C available worldwide and the most effective method of administering concentrated Vitamin C on your skin. I have to say it, another brilliant Clearskincare inovation.
