This unique Vitamin C is a smaller molecule therefore; it can pass through the cell membranes to be absorbed through the epidermis (top layer of skin) and transported to the dermis. Once the Vitamin C reaches the dermis, it will stimulate new collagen and elastin which in return will help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, protect from UV radiation, prevent age spots and help with inflammation (redness) due to sun, wind, or acne scarring. If you are looking for the ultimate Vitamin C to fight against free radicals, Armoured Cosmetics™ is the best topical Vitamin C antioxidant to "Be Skin Healthy".
