Free-radical damage from aging, smoking, drinking, UV
radiation and chemical pollutants deplete the body's natural
antioxidant defenses, damage elastin and other support structures,
and are thought to produce DNA mutations that can lead to skin
cancer. When skin is short on vitamin C, it becomes vulnerable
to free-radical damage and can't produce enough natural collagen
- the body's intercellular cement.
Now, with the discovery of Ester-C®
Topical, many exciting products are on the way-creams
and lotions for face, hands, and body; lip protectors; cleansers;
suntan/sunscreens; and shampoos and conditioners - all
with a highly stable form of vitamin C that both penetrates
and lasts.
