About C-MaxVitamin CSkin Repair Formula (Scroll down for the ingredients list)

Great to use first thing in the morning as a moisturizer under make-up or sunscreen. Medical researchers say topical vitamin C cream with between 5% and 10% of the L-Ascorbic Acid form of Vitamin C will help prevent sun damage and can make sunscreens more effective. C-Max contains approximately 6.5% of L-Ascorbic Acid.

Vitamin C is the most abundant anti-oxidant found naturally in the skin and is a critical component for simulating the production of collagen, which is an essential protein necessary for strong, healthy skin. The collagen protein is a biological mortar that decreases with age. When the level of collagen drops low enough, the underlying structure of the skin weakens, and allows skin sagging and wrinkling to develop. It is difficult to get a high enough volume of vitamin C in the skin to start the production of the collagen protein through diet alone. For the maximum amount of skin repair and protection, studies have shown that the L-Ascorbic Acid form of vitamin C needs to be topically applied. The L-Ascorbic acid can reverse the signs of photo-aging, causing skin to wrinkle. Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin, meaning that it is not stored in the body.

C-Max Vitamin C Skin Repair Formula contains 6.5% of L-Ascorbic Acid, the only form of Vitamin C that actually repairs the skin.

According to Dr. Burke from the American Academy of Dermatology, “Vitamin C is depleted when the skin is exposed to the sun, pollution or smoking. Even minimal UV exposure can decrease the vitamin C level in the skin by 30%, while exposure to the ozone of city pollution can decrease the level by 55%.” UV sun rays also decrease the production of collagen, therefore the more time that is spent in the sun, the sooner the aging process will begin.
