The skin care industry is nurturing some very well educated and researched consumers. Researching a specific ingredient or idea is as easy as a few clicks on your computer. When I googled "vitamin C in skincare," the results are astonishing: about 66,500,000 results in 0.70 seconds.
But of all those results, what information should the consumer believe, what needs more research and what are marketing ploys to sell product based on almost-truths?
The best resource is always going to be scientific in nature, so look to peer-reviewed and published papers from places such as Google Scholar, as a start. But, if the scientific reading is too much to decipher, a trusted industry resource and expert can help translate the important and pertinent pieces.
Since the 1930's, when it was discovered as a remedy for scurvy, vitamin C has been under discussion. Its function for maintaining skin health and excellent antioxidant protection qualities have been well researched and concluded.
