Vitamin C Palmitate: Benefits, Uses & Availability

Question
Let me first say you have a beautiful smile and skin. :) I wanted to ask about 30% Vitamin C Palmitate. A dermatologist mentioned it as a good topical treatment for improving youthful looking skin, but I wasn't sure if this was a clinical treatment only, or if it is offered in spas, or can be done at home. What do you know about this product?

Answer
Hi,

Thank you for the compliment. I wish I had more knowledge on this treatment but this is what I do know. I know some spas offer vitamin C treatments and there are many products you can purchase with vitamin C benefits. Also eating foods high in vitamin C is really good for your complexion. I have also seen Vitamin C palmitate in vitamin form.  One thing I have heard is that Vitamin C palmitate does not produce collagen production as well as L-ascorbic vitamin C.  I believe you can get products with vitamin C palmitate but I'm not sure how strong of a treatment it will be compared to the clinic. I would ask your dermatologist if there are at home products you can buy or call around to spas and see what treatments they offer. Wish I had more advice. :(
