Vitamin C,
L-ascorbic acid: The "latest and greatest" treatment
for wrinkles. Aids in preventing sun damage by increasing levels of this
antioxidant in the top layers of the skin. It is very difficult to find
active Vitamin C in any over the counter creams.
What is Vitamin C?
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant. It helps preserve the structure of
the skin by neutralizing the free radicals that enter the skin due to air
pollution, smoking, stress and sunlight.
How does Vitamin C
work?
Studies suggest Vitamin C has the potential to stimulate the growth of
collagen that is important in maintaining healthy skin and texture.
Glycolic
acid: An "alpha-hydroxy acid" which helps to
exfoliate, moisturize and correct fine lines and brown spots.
What is Glycolic
Acid'?
Glycolic acid found in sugar cane, has the smallest molecular size of all
the alpha hydroxy acids. Therefore, it is believed to penetrate the skin
more easily than the other alpha hydroxy acids. Thus, glycolic acid
provides the greatest benefits to the skin when compared with other
cosmetically used alpha hydroxy acids.
How does Glycolic
Acid work?
Glycolic acid helps to gently slough, or exfoliate, the dead cell layer
thereby diminishing fine lines and uneven skin tones. When the dead cell
layers of the stratum corneum (skin's outermost layer) are removed, newer
fresher skin is revealed. With continued use, the appearance of fine lines
seems to fade and clearer more supple skin is achieved.
Salicylic Acid:
A "beta-hydroxy acid" similar to glycolic acid but may be less
irritating and better for oily and acne prone skin.
Sunscreens:
Find one you like and use it daily, even in winter.
Which skin type
gets the serum, lotion or cream?
Some patients prefer a lighter formulation
(serum or lotion). Some prefer a richer emollient (cream). A general rule
is the drier skin patient will be better suited for the cream. All
products absorb quickly upon application.
