In developing VitaCyte Antioxidant Serum, our research revealed that Vitamin C, though an effective antioxidant, alone is not sufficient because it too may leave behind a free radical in the form of unstable Vitamin C, a semiascorbal radical. Free radicals are unpaired electrons that cause oxidative damage to the skin and the very antioxidants we rely on for repair and protection of the skin themselves may leave behind free radicals. Vitamin C works well with Vitamin E in providing antioxidant protection and also recycles Vitamin E's free radical. This serum goes on to include the balance of ingredients necessary to recycle other antioxidant free radicals to minimize damaging free radical activity. With the addition of a unique blend of herbal extracts, VitaCyte Antioxidant Serum is a more complete antioxidant treatment and is invaluable in protecting against oxidative free radical activity that results in damaged skin due to photoaging and oxidative stress.

 

 

VITACYTE Antioxidant Serum CLAIMS FROM RESEARCH APPLIED

• Vitamin C benefits are well documented in reducing the aging appearance of skin and contributing to enhancing collagen synthesis by the cellular constituents of skin. Because of the instability of L-ascorbic acid, an inexpensive and the most common form of Vitamin C, Line D's VitaCyte Antioxidant Serum utilizes forms of Vitamin C that, though more expensive, have greater stability and therefore greater reliability in retaining activity and effectiveness.
  
  
• Vitamin E in certain forms is more effective in protecting against photoaging and some less expensive forms (e.g. tocopherol acetate) have been found in research to be less effective.
  
  
• Vitamin E and Vitamin C work synergistically to protect and repair the skin while contributing to the recycling of each other's free radical back into effective antioxidants.
  
  
• Alpha Hydroxy Acids improve the penetration of particular antioxidants and exfoliates the skin.
  
  
• Antioxidant recycling may be protective against UV irradiation induced damage.
  
  
• Glutathione, a sulfur containing thiol, recycles Vitamin C's free radical.
  
  
• Alpha Lipoic Acid being fat and water soluble can move into all parts of a cell to neutralize free radicals. Once ALA is inside the cells it converts to dihydro- lipoic acid, a more powerful free radical fighter.
  
  
• Retinyl Palmitate Liposome delivers a source of Vitamin A which is recognized in research to repair and protect skin against UV-induced threats.
  
  
• Proprietary Herbal Extracts including Tremella, Polygoni Multiflori, Loranthi Ramulus, Lithospermum, Lonicerae Flos, Licorice, Fennel, Calendula and Horsetail enhance the cell activation and aid in skin rejuvenation.
