About Ascorbic Acid+tocopherol
Ascorbic Acid+tocopherol belongs to a combination of medicines called 'vitamins' primarily used to treat dark spots and other skin infections. It acts as a skin nourisher to prevent dry skin, clears the complexion, prevents skin sensitivity, the occurrence of wrinkles, sun damage (sunburn), facial wrinkles, and fights anti-ageing. Ascorbic Acid+tocopherol is also effective in treating burns and other damage to the skin. Dark spots occur when some skin areas start producing more melanin(a natural pigment that gives colour to eyes, hair, and skin) which can range from light to dark brown. Dry skin is a condition in which skin becomes dry and marked by itching, cracking, and scaling especially in winters. Sensitive skin refers to the skin with a more strong reaction when coming in contact with dyes, fragrances, and other products. Wrinkles are fine lines and creases that get formed in the skin. Usually, wrinkles represent a natural ageing process, but it can also happen on sun-exposed skin for a long duration. Sunburn is a skin injury in which skin becomes red and happens when the skin gets exposed to harmful sun rays for a longer duration.
Ascorbic Acid+tocopherol compromises of two medicines, namely; Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) and Tocopherol (Vitamin E). Ascorbic acid is a powerful antioxidant that nourishes the skin and prevents ageing. It works by increasing the renewal of skin cells, which helps in the natural exfoliation of the skin’s outer layers. On the other hand, Tocopherol is an important vitamin that is needed for the proper functioning of the skin. It is a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from further damage caused by external factors like pollution, harsh weather, and prevents wrinkle formation. On applied directly to the skin, it gets easily absorbed into the skin, provides excellent moisture to dry patchy skin areas, and protects the skin from further damage caused by harmful sun rays. It is a natural skin lightening product that reduces melanin production and improves skin tone, texture, sensitivity, and reduces skin uneven colour.
Ascorbic Acid+tocopherol is for external use only. Apply a small amount of Ascorbic Acid+tocopherol to the clean and dry affected area advised by your doctor.
