VITAMIN "C" is VITAL

Vital "C" Serum is a stable vitamin formula that is a strong anti-oxidant with distinct activity as a free radical scavenger, it also has anti-inflammatory properties. Vitamin C applied topically is more substantial than when taken orally. The benefits of topical Vitamin C are: promotes an increase in collagen, therefore the skin appears firmer, fights wrinkles by shielding from UV light, produces smoother, younger looking skin by diminishing fine lines and wrinkles, aids in healing of traumatized skin and may help rosacea sufferers.  Vital "C" serum offers vital protection with noticeable improvement in 4 weeks and dramatic results evident in 4 months. Vital "C" serum not only protects and promotes healing, but also defies aging and should be an essential part of everyone's Total Skin System!

Alpha hydroxy acids (AHA's) are nontoxic, naturally occurring substances found in a variety of fruits such as grapes, apples and sugar cane. Glycolic acid is a type of AHA derived from sugar cane. These skin rejuvenators literally change the texture of the skin by gently dissolving the "glue" that dead skin cells adhere to. This exfoliation of the top layer along with its stimulation of collagen and elastin fibers produces a smoother, healthier and younger looking layer of skin. With an array of skin problems related to the build up of dead cells the use of AHA's are many. Our AHA Rejuvenating products are excellent for lightening age spots, freckles and sun damaged skin, as well as for removing oils and fats in oily and acne-prone skin and diminishing the appearance of fine lines and smoothing the wrinkles of aging skin. AHA's are NOT moisturizers due to their low pH and an effective moisturizer MUST have a high pH that is closest to your skin. Therefore, AHA's must be followed by one of our quality moisturizers. So, treat your skin to a sweet that is good for it and see the results!
