Vitamin C What, How, Why, Where (Part 2)

In the previous article, we have talked about
what does intake of
vitamin C does? Who should use vitamin C
products? But still, there are more important
things like forms of vitamin C, How to use
vitamin C products we will discuss in this
article. If you miss the part 1 click to read
here. How to use vitamin C products?

Vitamin C serum is usually recommended to use in
the morning because it is an antioxidant and
will protect you throughout the day. But in the
evening it is also possible, especially if the
remedy is unpleasant.Vitamin C can be used every
day. Do I need to protect myself from the sun
when using Vitamin C Serum on Face? If you are
concerned about pigmentation and age-related
changes, you should always use sunscreen gel,
regardless of whether you use acids or
not. Whether you are using retinol or not. I
suppose it worries you if you've read to this
point. But if not, you can only use it from May
to October when you go outside. You can also find
vitamin c in fruit and vegetable whichboost the
immune system with intake of vitamins and
minerals.

If the concentration of vitamin C is low, then,
as a rule, it does not
provoke anything in the skin that can enhance the
effect of ultraviolet radiation. If it is higher,
then it can already exfoliate a little and
increase sensitivity, and here it is better to
protect yourself from the sun more
thoroughly. What is it like?

Vitamin C in cosmetics like Vitamin C serumcomes
in many different formulas, but the most
interesting from the point of view of proven
effectiveness is ascorbic acid. In combination,
it is called ascorbic acid or L-ascorbic acid.
All the properties of vitamin C help free
radicals. Most often, the Best Vitamin C serum
for face is like water soluble vitamin. Sometimes
it is encapsulated in wax, phospholipids, and
some other components, and then the agent is
usually no longer like water. Here are products
in the form of pastes, usually based on many
silicones. I personally love silicone and there
is nothing against them, but there are a lot of
people who hate silicone. Such pastes are usually
unpleasant, powdery felt, and absorbed for long
periods of time to irritate the skin, but they
are stored much longer than those that have
dissolved ascorbic acid in water.

What other forms of vitamin C are there?
The most common forms are Ascorbyl Glucoside
Water-soluble form. This is perhaps the second
most studied form of vitamin C after ascorbic
acid. But there is still not much data about her.
It is definitely known that it is stable and
penetrates the skin. And after penetration, it is
transformed into ascorbic acid. But what
percentage of it is eventually transformed is not
very clear. But this is perhaps one of the best
forms to look out for if you want to start using
vitamin C but for some reason don't want to start
with ascorbic acid. Funds with it are usually not
too expensive, unlike the next form. Tetrahexyldec
yl Ascorbate (THDA) Fat-soluble form. There are
few funds with it, but it is believed that it
works almost as effectively as ascorbic acid, or
even better.
7
In part, it is considered more effective due to
the fact that it is fat- soluble, and fat-soluble
substances penetrate the skin better than
water-soluble ones. Because the skin's protective
barrier does not allow water to pass
through. There is research confirming that this
form does indeed penetrate the skin and is indeed
transformed into ascorbic acid. Moreover, it
penetrates 3 times better than ascorbic acid,
even when its concentration is much lower. A
remedy was used on half of the face, which had
10 ascorbic acid and 7 THDA, and the results
are very good. But one can hardly draw any
conclusion about THDA here. Here they used a
cream with 30 THDA in combination with a serum
with retinol, and there were also good results,
but, again, there is nothing to say exactly about
the effectiveness of THDA.

I personally really love this form (or at least
the products with this form), I hope to make a
serum for DTMSkin with it. I think this is a very
cool form for people with dry skin and for those
who like rich products. But this form is quite
expensive, so you won't find cheap serums with
it. Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP) A very
common water-soluble form of vitamin C. In
addition to the above properties, it has
anti-acne properties. By itself, it does not
really cure, but in combination with classic
anti- acne ingredients, it works great. So it
makes sense to pay attention to products with
this particular form if you have problem skin and
are looking for vitamin C. It is effective in low
concentrations. Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate
(MAP) Also a very common fat- soluble form. Also
not well researched. And I found one study about
that. That it can also be useful for acne, but
only as an adjunct to general therapy, and not by
itself.
9
However, there the study was carried out in
vitro, so I would divide such conclusions by ten.
But you can always try, why not. Retinyl
Ascorbate This is a very interesting form. It is
a combination of retinol and ascorbic acid. It is
assumed to have properties of both, but again,
there is no research. AscorbylTetraisopalmitateA
very common form, it is often recommended for
very sensitive skin. It is believed to penetrate
the skin very quickly. There is confirmation that
it penetrates the skin and cells, but only in
relatively high concentrations. I will not
describe the rest, because I have not found a
single product with them, where they would be the
main ingredient. But, I think you get the idea of
how to pick out something related to vitamin C in
the composition.
