[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does Vitamin C do?[/quote] After a cell biology class, I realized I just wasted money buying beauty products. Making an exception with retinol.[/quote] Do explain?[/quote] Retinol actually resurfaces your skin with new cell generation. Most products just get to the top layer of skin and don't have lasting impactful results. However, topical Vitamin C is an exception, and it does improve radiance and works to physically combat free radicals that are directly linked to signs of aging, it also reverses sun damage. When used with sunblock and part of a good regimen, this is actually very effective. It is better to invest in a good serum (retinol), exfoliant (chemical like AHA/BHA/LA, or physical like microdermabrasion) and treatment (Vitamin C), with any old moisturizer than it is to throw a bunch of money at a line of creams. If you're going for deeply impactful products. The other things are really like icing on a cake. [/quote]
