EXPLANATION OF INGREDIENTS IN HHH3 PRODUCTS - VITAMIN C
Vitamin C plays an important role in maintaining skin health and can promote antioxidant protection against UV-induced photodamage. Normal skin needs high concentrations of vitamin C, which plays many roles in the skin, including the formation of the skin barrier and collagen in the dermis, the ability to counteract skin oxidation, and the modulation of cancer cells and growth.
Human skin consists of three layers: the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue, which together forms the body’s first line of defence against harmful environmental stressors. There is a large difference in the content of vitamin C in the different layers of the skin. The content of ascorbic acid in the epidermis, the most outer layer of the skin is 425% higher than the content in the dermis, and there is a concentration gradient of ascorbic acid in the epidermal keratinocytes which maintain the function and integrity of the skin barrier, preventing skin water loss.
As an antioxidant, vitamin C is a powerful anti-inflammatory reagent, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation associated with sun damage, post inflammatory hyper pigmentation, atopic skin conditions and acne.
Natural ageing, UV damage, environmental stress such as pollution, rapidly decline the skins antioxidant reservoir reducing the skins natural defence to free radicals, weakening the skin barrier, reducing collagen, elasticity, and tone.
Apply a well formulated vitamin C and E serum of a morning after cleansing, Exfoliation aids vitamin c absorption as it removes the outermost dead layers of your skin that hinder absorption. When using a vitamin c skincare routine, apply before an antioxidant cream and always follow with a sunscreen. Tip: vitamin C boosts the efficacy of your sunscreen, increasing the skins sun protection and also assists in skin repair after sun exposure.
H3 skincare make a Vitamin C Serum, an Antioxidant serum and all of the anti-aging creams have vitamin C in them in the form of Ascorbyl Palmitate.
