Anhydrous vitamin C combo. Making the best of vitamin C skin care. Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) is one of the relatively few topical agents whose effectiveness against wrinkles and fine lines is backed by a fair amount of reliable scientific evidence (see our article on vitamin C). Unfortunately, the practical use of vitamin C in skin care presents some difficulties for a number of reasons. First, vitamin C is relatively unstable. When exposed to air, vitamin C solution undergoes oxidation and becomes not only ineffective but also potentially harmful (oxidized vitamin C may increase the formation of free radicals). Second, Topical vitamin C formulations need to be at least 10% strong to boost collagen synthesis and thereby improve wrinkles.

Anhydrous vitamin C combo, possibly the best of both worlds More importantly, evidence indicates that ultrafine microcrystalline vitamin C in an anhydrous vehicle can stimulate collagen synthesis. In a 2006 study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Dr Geoffrey K. Heber and co-workers studies the effects of 20-23% ultrafine microcrystalline anhydrous vitamin C on the collagen synthesis in the sections of human skin. The researchers found an increased production of both type I and type III collagen (both of these types of collagen are important for youthful skin). ULTRACEUTICALS applies a combination of water soluble and anhydrous Vitamin C serums and creams to increase collagen production.
