Vitamin C – Skin Lightening and Healing Properties

Recently, we receive more good news about Vitamin C ability to promote healthy skin lightening, wound healing and DNA restore in the skin, what was published by the scientists who investigated the substance’s effect in human fibroblasts.

 

Whitening Skin Care Beauty Treatment According to the report, published in the journal Free Radical Biology and Medicine, the researchers applied a comprehensive genome broad investigation to find out the effects of vitamin C derived ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (AA2P) on the genes of human fibroblasts.

 

As much as 300 hundred genes were affected by the addition of AA2P what at the end should show the influence of vitamin C for the different parts in the body.

 

The initial results of the study indicated that addition of vitamin C stimulated fibroblasts out of their sleeping condition this way they were able to help skin heal as well as increase the cells’ ability to move to the injured area.

 

Also, the vitamin C stimulated the capability of the DNA to restore itself after injury, as well as it was showing significant antioxidant properties.

 

At the end researchers stated that even though the creation of specific signalling ways remains to be revealed, the study confirmed that vitamin C in skin cells is essential for efficient wound healing and the fixing of potentially mutagenic components of DNA oxidation.

 

Co-author of the research Marcus Cooke at the University of Leicester, UK, said that the team is eager to continue studying the potential of such an ingredient in lightening skin care beauty products.

 

He also added that up-regulating the endogenous restoring instrument applying a compound like vitamin C could be much more beneficial than existing techniques utilized in lightening skin care beauty cosmetics and other targeting DNA repairs.

 

Skin Care Cosmetics products influencing DNA repair?

 

“There are skin care cosmetic products that are meant to influence DNA repair, invariably via incorporating a single repair enzyme in the formulation. While this is a good idea, it is likely to be more costly that being able to up-regulate endogenous repair mechanisms which could conceivably simultaneously up-regulate more than a single enzyme,” – Marcus Cooke said.

 

If it comes to the usage of the vitamin C, he said either topical or oral application could be successful but recommended concentration probably should be elevated for the oral route.
