Recently, seen several articles that suggest topical Vitamin C creams to keep skin from aging. Also have read that it helps minimize sun damage. I think Skinceuticals makes one and La Roche-Posay, for example.
Do you think there is any benefit from these? Also, does taking Vit. C orally help?
yes,
vit c is a good antioxidant – helps to treat sun damage and environmental oxidative stress.
there’s c and e ferrulic by skin ceuticals – that’s good.
also, prevage is a good antioxidant.
i carry both of those.
you need to use them regularly for a while to see results, but its certainly good for you. oral vit c has not been shown to be of any benefit – you get enough of that in your diet.
retin a (tazorac, retin a micro, etc), moisturizer, sun screen and a gentle cleanser are also good to use. that’s my basic topical recommendations.
cheers
