Anti-Ageing Serum (Get back the youth within you…)
a) Ascorbic Acid: Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is used to prevent or treat low levels of vitamin C in people who do not get enough of the
vitamin from their diets. Most people who eat a normal diet do not need extra ascorbic acid. Low levels of vitamin C can result in a condition
called scurvy. Vitamin C also helps the body absorb iron, which is needed for red blood cell production. Ascorbic acid is used to treat and prevent
vitamin C deficiency. Ascorbic acid may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
b) Hyaluronic Acid: Hyaluronic acid to the skin for healing wounds, burns, skin ulcers, and as a moisturizer. Hyaluronic acid is also for
sensitive and blemish-prone skin as it helps to calm skin, whilst protecting it with its antioxidant properties. Roughly half of the hyaluronic acid
in your body is present in your skin, where it binds to water to help retain moisture. The natural aging process and exposure to things like
ultraviolet radiation from the sun, tobacco smoke and pollution can decrease its amounts in the skin. Taking hyaluronic acid supplements may prevent
this decline by giving your body extra amounts to incorporate into the skin. When applied to the surface of the skin, hyaluronic acid serums can
reduce wrinkles, redness and dermatitis. It’s naturally present in the skin, but its concentrations increase when there is damage in need of
repair.
c) Vitamin E Acetate: Vitamin E is known for its antioxidant properties. Antioxidants help to protect your body from damaging compounds called
free radicals. Normally, free radicals form when your body converts food into energy. However, free radicals can also come from UV light, cigarette
smoke, and air pollution. Vitamin E comes in the form of tocopheryl or tocotrienol. Both tocopheryl and tocotrienol have four forms, known as alpha,
beta, gamma, and delta. Alpha-tocopheryl (AT) is the most active form of vitamin E in humans. Vitamin C on the skin decreased sunburned cells, DNA
damage, and skin pigmentation following UV exposure. However, AT is less stable in the environment than ATA, which makes it harder to store.
