Waterless Vitamin C with Idebenone

Why are the waterless properties so important in Waterless Vitamin C with Idebenone?

Vitamin C, when used in its purest form, is referred to as being in a "reduced" state. This "reduced" state ensures that the Vitamin C is being used at its full strength and effectiveness, which will produce the greatest benefits for the skin. However, if pure Vitamin C is added to a product that has water and that product is then exposed to air, it becomes oxidized. This means it will lose its effectiveness and its abilities to heal and rejuvenate the skin. You can tell when Vitamin C becomes “oxidized" because it turns yellow and then brown. Many of the Vitamin C products currently in the marketplace do this. Each time you open the bottle, they appear a little darker in color until they finally turn brown. Dr. Harper chose to use Vitamin C in its "reduced" state in Waterless Vitamin C to ensure that the consumer will experience the full health and aesthetic benefits from the product.

Is there any way to know when a product with Vitamin C is going bad?

The darker the products get, the more they have lost their effectiveness. The only way to maintain the full effectiveness of Vitamin C and protect it from becoming oxidized and losing its effectiveness is to create a completely waterless version of this high potency product. While this is easier said than done, Waterless Vitamin C meets this unique market niche. Waterless Vitamin C is an amazingly rich and luxurious product that is completely waterless, keeping pure Vitamin C at its best. It was researched and developed by Ruthie Harper, M.D. and allows Vitamin C to maintain its full effectiveness for the skin over time.

Is this a moisturizing cream?
