While searching on the internt for some recipes for different vitamin c serums I found different information
that stated that when l-ascorbic acid is put on the skin it can react with the iron that is in the skin and cause
free radicals which can do more harm then good.
If L-AA does cause free radicals this way in the skin...then what can be done to prevent it and still use topical vitamin c? |

Dr.Perricone has an agenda of pushing his overpriced products. Of course he's gonna blast Ascorbic Acid cause his is better. 
The only advice I'd take from him is about diet.
L-Ascorbic Acid is tried and true in a quality C serum. Has been for many years. |

You know, there's always someone who claims that this or that skin product "causes free radicals" or is harmful in some way, outrageously, it's always someone with vested interests, not someone who cares about how healthy anyone skin is. I believe L-ascorbic acid is the 2nd most researched anti-aging ingredient, with decades of solid data and milions of users, so when someone claims it's all wrong, they better have at least one paper backing them up. Otherwise it's about as believable as Paula B. and her nonsense.
What even more interesting, there are people who say sunscreens also cause free radicals, especially the so called chemical filters, but every time someone studies the skin of sunscreen users they consistently find less damage, so the alleged free radical damage isn't as bad. So it's a bit radical to come up with big claims like that when the smartest scientists can't yet precisely explain how aging happens and how much of it is due to free radicals, the intricacies of Fenton reaction are also a mystery to everyone. Everyone except Dr Perricone, apparently. |

| The only problem I've had with vitamin C is blackheads. I have combination skin on my face and it seems the C reacted with the oil. Now I only use it on my neck and back of hands which are dry. Wish I could use it on my face. |
