Yes, even 10% is effective. Just remember to use the fresh Vitamin C powder every time, so you get the full anti-oxidant effect. You can also use fresh lemon juice, but be careful, citric acid is strong. Is 20% l-ascorbic acid effective to treat hyperpigmentation?

]]> Comment on How UVA Rays Age Skin by Keenan Glass http://organicskinsecrets.com/blog/2008/04/14/how-uva-rays-age-skin/#comment-2 Keenan Glass Sun, 27 Apr 2008 07:47:35 +0000 http://organicskinsecrets.com/blog/2008/04/14/how-uva-rays-age-skin/#comment-2 There are just a lot of misconceptions regarding sunscreen. So, I think it's great to see more articles that increase awareness and advocate better sun protection. I am also glad to see that you point out how all sunscreens are not created equal. Each of the most common active ingredients have their shortcomings, even avobenzone and zinc oxide. Ultimately the success of any formulation depends on the needs of the end user. For instance, runners require a product that does not interfere with perspiring. Skiers require additional moisturizers for wind protection. Still with all of the hype regarding the need for UVA protection, the facts remain the same... Americans simply need better habits before venturing outdoors to engage in their favorite activities.
