Hi everyine.

Could you tell me what is the difference between Vit.C anf Vit.C derivatives? What do they do? How about Vit.A and Vit. E? Do I need all 3 to have beautiful skin??

I am mid 50 but I do not have too many wrinkles but I got very dry skin and it is making me look loder than my actuyal age...

Thank you!

If you smoke, quitting is job #1 for caring for your skin! Putting vitamins on it isn't going to do much if you still smoke.

Here is a reliable link that explains the various vitamins used as topical products:

Thank you for sharing such a wonderful website. There are so much information... Do you think you could explain what is Vit. C and Vit. C derivatives and what they do in a line or two?

Regarding smoking, I am smoking less and less everyday so oneday I might be able to quit! Let's see!

This quote is from the link I provided above:

[quote from Smartskincare.com] "Potentially, vitamin C can benefit skin in two important ways. Firstly, vitamin C is essential for the synthesis of collagen, a key structural protein of the skin. Adding vitamin C to a culture of skin cells (fibroblasts) dramatically increases the synthesis of collagen. Secondly, vitamin C is an antioxidant and can help reduce skin damage caused by free radicals. So, when vitamin C is properly delivered into skin cells, there is a good chance to reduce wrinkles and improve skin texture.
