Did you know that L-Ascorbic Acid is the only form of Vitamin C that can be utilized directly by the skin?  When applied topically, directly onto the skin, it can offer concentrations 200 times or more within skin tissues than when you internally take Vitamin C. In fact, in more than one-thousand clinical studies, L-Ascorbic Acid has shown both short and long-term benefits to the skin! L-Ascorbic Acid is the choice to use as other forms of Vitamin C are far less functional in getting into the skin and creating these benefits.

One of the biggest problems with Vitamin C is that it oxidizes easily.  You can see this as products with high concentrations of Vitamin C can turn orange over time. When this happens, the product actually becomes a "pro-oxidant" instead of an antioxidant and can possibly further cause oxidation of the skin. Not what we want! This is why Carolyn’s Facial Formulas Crystal Serum C uses fresh, powdered L-Ascorbic Acid to be added to the super-antioxidant serum base upon use. This way you are assured that you are getting all the benefits that Vitamin C can afford your skin.  That is the freshest and therefore most potent way to utilize topical Vitamin C.

And, what are those benefits of using fresh, topical L-Ascorbic Acid in a super-packed antioxidant serum?
