Age Managment Antioxidants: Vitamin C & Astaxanthin

Antioxidants are important in skincare because they can help reduce free radical damage.  Free radical damage is known to contribute to premature aging, wrinkles and hyper pigmentation.  When you slice an apple in half it will begin to turn brown within minutes.  This is called oxidization, or free radical damage in action.  The vitamin C (also a powerful antioxidant) will help prevent oxidization and the apple will stay fresh for much longer.  This is antioxidization in action! Derma MD® incorporates multiple antioxidants in our skincare line, but two of these very important antioxidants are AstaXanthin and Vitamin C!
AstaXanthin is an extremely powerful antioxidant that plays a very important role in skincare.  AstaXanthin is extracted from a type of marine algae that gives salmon and shellfish like shrimp, its beautiful pink color.                                      
This powerhouse antioxidant has been getting a lot of press lately.  It is a relatively new discovery for skincare, but Derma MD ® has been incorporating it for the last 10 years, in one of its most popular products…”Pink Silk” Face Firming Rejuvenator!
AstaXanthin has been proven to be one of the strongest, anti-inflammatory/antioxidants available.  Studies show thatAstaXanthin far surpasses the antioxidant benefits of beta-carotene, Vitamin A and Vitamin E combined! Derma MD ® uses AstaXanthin in many key products in high concentration (2-3%) for best results.  Our newest addition withAstaXanthin is our new revolutionary… S-Cargot Face Lift Anti-Aging Serum …Some of the more anti-aging benefits of this product are as follows:
One of the more potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidants.  Found to be to 1000 times stronger than Vitamin E, and up to 10 times stronger than beta-carotene.
Combined with potent anti-aging ingredients that fight free radicals, this product also protects from UV damage.
Stimulates collagen synthesis and improve skin’s elasticity.
Vitamin © is a very potent antioxidant and can be found in most of the citrus fruits such as grapefruit.  Some of the more beneficial properties found in Vitamin C are:
Promote collagen production- Vitamin © is proven to stimulate the synthesis collagen. Skin loses vitamin C over time, thus making line & wrinkles more prominent.  Topical Vitamin © allows for the skin to start that stimulation once again, thus reducing fine lines & wrinkles, protecting from free radical damage.
Helps to brighten the skin and improve its texture.  Vitamin © is found to stimulate increase of the cellular turnover, leaving skin more radiant and softer.
Fights free radicals-being a potent antioxidant it helps protect skin from free radical damage.  Free radical activity increases due to UV radiation from sun, environmental factors, such as pollutants, over excessive alcohol intake and cigarette smoke to name just a few.
Derma MD ® newest addition is C-Genie 17% Vitamin C Serum…This stabilized formula should be a main staple of your skin care regimen.  Used daily and you skin will look more vibrant, healthier and younger looking within a few weeks.
