Do Vitamin C Products Work?


Facts You Should Know About Topical Vitamin C

In recent years, there has been an explosion in the number of skin rejuvenation, anti-wrinkle products with vitamin C. Do their claims have any substance? Do these products work? The situation is more complicated than you thought. On one hand, vitamin C does possess definite merits for wrinkle reduction and skin rejuvenation. On the other hand, most vitamin C products don't work.

Ordinary Vitamin C Does Not Last

Most vitamin C formulas are relatively unstable unless in a dry form. In the presence of air or other oxidizing agents, vitamin C is easily converted to an oxidized form. Vitamin C in its oxidized form is of no benefit for collagen synthesis or free radical scavenging. It actually promotes free radical formation causing damage to collagen, DNA and other vital structures. If skin care products are stored or prepared poorly, vitamin C may already be oxidized by the time you apply it to your skin.

But these problems can easily be resolved if:

• Vitamin C concentration in a product is high enough to create a substantial increase in vitamin C levels in skin cells;
• The Vitamin C is absorbed quickly by the skin so that it has the chance to work while intact;
• Vitamin C is properly preserved by sufficient amounts of protective substances.

Ordinary vitamin C is so fragile it oxidizes and disappears upon contact with air, water, heat and light. Most vitamin C used in topical products is so unstable that 90% of its potency is gone after the first month. VesPro's C Factor main ingredient, Ester-C Topical, contains 14.3% vitamin C, and retains 90% of its vitamin C activity for two years at room temperature. C FactorTM 14.3% vitamin C is a uniquely stable formulation that doesn't degrade rapidly like other vitamin C preparations may. Another plus to the unique C FactorTM formula is the extremely fast absorption and non sticky application which comes from the inclusion of CoQ10, pycnogenol and a proprietary herbal complex. It maintains potency in the bottle, so when you apply it, it sends concentrations of stable vitamin C directly into the skin.

C Is for Collagen

Vitamin C is known for its importance in the manufacture of collagen. Topical vitamin C has also shown to prevent the free radical skin damage that occurs following exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun. Free radicals are unstable molecules that steal electrons from your body's healthy molecules to balance themselves. Unchecked, free radicals can cause significant tissue damage and contribute to premature wrinkling.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C has been used as an aid for the healing of wounds, to help boost the immune system, and help fight the common cold. Recent scientific research has shown that vitamin C is also a potent antioxidant that is capable of preventing and possibly even reversing the effects of aging on human skin.

It is for this reason that we use vitamin C as a key ingredient in our anti-aging formulations. If topically applied, a high-dose vitamin C serum would also help prevent and treat dry skin problems, especially for geriatric patients.

Vitamin C and Melanogenesis

Studies have shown that vitamin C reduces the formation of melanin. This result predicts that vitamin C could have a skin lightening effect because melanin is responsible for the dark pigmentation of human skin. Studies indicated that if applied topically, vitamin C has skin lightening effects. Vitamin C can be used as a skin clarifier to even skin tones and lightens the dark skin blemishes and age spots that are characteristic of aging skin. It is especially effective around the eyes.

Vitamin C and Free Radicals

Studies indicated that less collagen is produced if human fibroblasts are exposed to reactive oxygen species (free radicals). Free radicals are thought to be responsible for cross-linking of elastin and collagen. This cross-linking causes wrinkles and skin sagging. Excessive exposure to UV radiation can damage the skin. Topical vitamin C is capable of controlling the inflammation resulting from ultraviolet exposure that eventually leads to wrinkling and skin cancer.

Recent studies show that topically applied vitamin C is absorbed into the dermis in levels high enough to protect the skin from UV radiation damage as measured by erythema and sunburn formation.

Testimonials


Thank you for your prompt attention. I recieved my order from FedEx on Friday morning 22 Nov just four days after placing my order. Considering I live on the other side of the world, thats not too shabby.

I've been using C Factor for one week and so far I'm thrilled to bits to say the least. I have been using Cellex C for over 18 mnths and have found that my skin was begining to become more and more sensitive. I am getting no adverse reaction with C Factor what so ever.

Have you considered formulating a product containing Ester C for body use? Once again thanks again.....you have a customer for life!

I've tried every product in the duty free stores, but NOTHING has worked better than C Factor. I'm very happy to have my own skin back from the dry "cabin skin".

The vitamin C in C Factor absorbs both UVA and UVB and acts as a photo absorbent and also as an immune stimulant to diminish solar damage. I highly recommended C Factor to prevent premature skin aging and maintain healthy skin.

"As a female business executive, and for simply a general feeling of self confidence, my appearance is very important. I have what we ladies like to refer to as mature skin, skin that has been around for way over 50 years. In these many years I have tried most product types that have come on the market in my quest to remain as young as possible for as long as possible.

One essential skin care regimen particularly touted by my dermatologist has been to 'use a C based product'. Vitamin C actually rejuvenates and replaces old skin cells with new cells creating a more beautiful, smoother and softer skin that actually glows. While this works, I found all the C products I used to be so drying or sticky when applied to the skin that I could only use them at bedtime and never under makeup.

I was delighted to discover VesPro's C Factor product. It is totally non-drying, gives my skin the rejuvenated new skin glow and best of all I can use it under makeup as a moisturizing base.

Thank you, VesPro, for putting all the necessary parts together in one bottle for a more beautiful me."

"I have purchased three other products that say they are rich in vitamin C. After several months of use, I really couldn't tell that they were doing much. I was disappointed. I know the many benefits of vitamin C, as well as its incredible ability to repair and rebuild cells in the skin, so I had expectations of the other products. I was beginning to doubt that vitamin C could really make a big difference - until I used C Factor. I am really glad to find such a high quality product."

"I started using C Factor at night eight days ago...I noticed the difference after the very first use! My skin looked smoother the next morning, and the fine lines around my mouth seemed less visible. Even the furrow lines that I have developed on my forehead seemed less pronounced! The product continues to work...after only one week, I can really tell that it is making a difference in the youthful appearance of my skin."

"Hi! This is Ann Butenas from "Right at Home with Ann," airing each Thursday from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. right here on 1140 AM KCXL. Being a busy mom with three boys and a full work schedule. I rarely have to take care of myself, especially when it comes to how I look. But that has all changed significantly in the past couple of weeks. I have been using C Factor, the ultimate skin therapy, from VesPro Life Sciences. I simply apply this unique Ester-C topical herbal complex on my face twice daily. The results have been fantastic! My skin looks and feels much smoother, and I no longer see a dull, blotchy face when I look in the mirror! And, because C Factor is easily absorbed into the skin without feeling sticky, I can apply my make-up right over it. This great moisturizing formula even helps the application of my make-up to be smoother and more natural. I just love it, and you will, too!

"I don't know if it is the "C Factor" or the HGH, but twice in the last month I've had people who hadn't seen me in a while say "You look great!" I do feel a lot better energy wise. As you know, for years I have suffered an on-going battle with fatigue after a serious viral infection. I saved all my energy for work then would use the weekends to recuperate. It was not unusual for me to spend the weekends lying down I was so fatigued. Getting up in the morning was always a struggle. I felt like I had 20lbs bags on my shoulders. I would set the alarm for 6 am just so I could leave the house by 9 am. The other day I asked my son if he has noticed whether I am more energetic since taking the HGH. He said "Yea, I think it's working because when I want to go somewhere after you get home at night - even just to the store - you say o.k." "I'm too tired" is no longer my mantra.

I even feel energized enough to exercise and that is a miracle. I am looking forward to a follow-up visit at the doctor's office. Last year my natural killer cell profile (your bodies first line of defense) was abnormally low. My immune system was so ravaged by the virus that my ability to fight off disease was still greatly compromised. My doctor, who is an infectious disease specialist, recommended I start taking colostrum, but after two months I wasn't feeling that much better. I am looking forward to finding out how that number has changed after using the HGH for three months.

Bruce, I want to thank you for introducing me to these products. I am not only a satisfied customer, but a customer for life. Send me another batch!
