Topical C & Benzoyl Peroxide...

Topical Vitamin C (10% L-Ascorbic Acid) is available through 916 Acne, Skin & Wellness Clinic. Topical C can be ordered over the phone and shipped out the same day - free of charge.

While benzoyl peroxide is often a necessity for clearing acne topically, it also has its draw backs. Benzoyl peroxide causes free radical damage, the very same thing we try to prevent in the aging process. Topical L-Ascorbic Acid, not only stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin for firm and resilient skin, but it also neutralizes free radicals caused from such things as benzoyl peroxide and sun exposure. Topical L-Ascorbic Acid also works synergistically with sunscreen to reduce the formation of sunburned cells.

Topical L-Ascorbic Acid is a must have for keeping skin tight and right! I apply 10% L-ascorbic acid every day and every night - rain or shine. When researching topical L-Ascorbic Acid, look for the following: a product that is in the form of a serum, lists L-ascorbic acid as one of the first ingredients, is water based, contains no alcohol or witch hazel, and has hydrating ingredients such as sodium PCA, glycerin, or sodium hyaluronate.
