 |  | Topical Vitamin C does? Anti Aging Benefits
How does topical Vitamin C compare and benefit the skin?- active in the skin up to 3 days (72 hours) after application.
- anti-inflammatory response in the skin, prevents redness and inflammation even after sun exposure
- topical application delivers 20 times more vitamin C than oral intake
- free radical scavenger
- maintains cellular integrity
- Vitamin C kills bacteria, natural wound healer, cuts inflammation – all related to acne.
- basically has two functions by
- stimulating collagen
- and elastin
Collagen is the skin's firmness and elastin is the ability to retain its original shape. The explanation of the other two top skin rejuvenators are …
Glycolic acid has five functions.- stimulates collagen and elastin
- stimulates glyco amino glycans, moisture binding ground substances
- cleanses the follicle
- evens skin tone
- improves the texture of the skin
Retin-A and Renova, chemical name Tretinoin, has five functions- stimulates collagen and elastin
- cleanses the follicle
- evens skin tone
- improves the texture of the skin
- has medically proven to be a better cell regulator benefiting acne, basal and squamous cell carcinoma.
After consecutive applications Retin-A or Renova can produce high side effects of redness, irritation, dryness, flaking and sun sensitivity. Glycolic acid has lower side effects occurring over a longer time giving the applicant a chance to cut back or reduce the applications for adjustment. Clearly the work horses are glycolic acid and Tretinoin with glycolic pulling ahead due to a better tolerance rate and non-prescription. The two together create a synergistic network giving a better result than when used separately.
We recommend the use of all three for clients' forty or older. The application and adjustment schedule require finesse.
