VITAMIN C, or L-ascorbic acid, acts as a cofactor in collagen synthesis.

It has a high regenerative capacity, due to its stimulating activity on the synthesis of collagen.

Vitamin C is therefore essential for the hydroxylation of proline, therefore, in building and maintaining the integrity of collagen.

Additionally, vitamin C works by decreasing the production of the extracellular matrix metalloproteinase enzyme, an enzyme that stimulates the breakdown of collagen in the dermis.

The stimulating activity of collagen synthesis gives vitamin C a healing property for wounds caused by trauma, cuts, burns or surgery.

It is also suitable for the formation of new tissue.

Vitamin C corresponds to the group of water-soluble vitamins and, like the vast majority of them, it is not stored in the body for a long period of time, being excreted in small amounts through the urine.

For this reason, its daily administration is important, since it is easier to deplete its reserves than those of other vitamins. Its chemical structure is reminiscent of glucose (in many mammals and plants, this vitamin is synthesized from glucose and galactose).

All compounds that have the biological activity of ascorbic acid are called vitamin C.

We must keep in mind that the only active form of vitamin C is L-ascorbic acid. VITAMIN C 10% vials Since vitamin C is a water soluble substance, it is quickly eliminated from the body and tends to protect its most vital organs, so that any vitamin deficiency is first noticeable in the skin (the most vital organ). less vital), which explains the importance of its topical application.

Pure vitamin C is very unstable and susceptible to oxidation.

This vitamin C is stabilized by an Ethyl group and its effectiveness has been clinically tested:

• Efficacy studies 1- In vitro depigmenting study on human melanocytes: An in vitro evaluation was carried out on the depigmenting capacity of ethyl ascorbic acid.
• Theophylline was incubated with melanocytes in order to increase the production of melanin
• Subsequently, ethyl ascorbic acid was added at concentrations of 15 mg / ml and 20 mg / ml respectively, and compared to kojic acid, a known depigmenting agent.
• A clear depigmenting effect was observed at two concentrations of ethyl ascorbic acid:
