A huge trend in beauty right now is vitamin C--but did you know that pure vitamin C loses it's potency when exposed to air, light or water? Yes, it's crazy--all those skincare products touting "vitamin C" content, might not actually be working. Just because it says "vitamin C" or comes in orange packaging, doesn't mean it can deliver results. A good lesson for all of us!
But here's what vitamin C-seekers *should* buy: Mary Kay's new revolutionary Timewise Vitamin C Activating Squares ($24). To keep the skincare benefits of vitamin C intact, the brand created a square of pure vitamin C that dissolves on contact.
So, how does it work? >>
In the palm of your hand, the Squares transform into an elixir that when combined with your regular face serum has incredible age-fighting benefits. After two weeks our editors saw a visible difference. This is the cutting edge of skincare, ladies. #Science
The customer reviews for the product are incredible, too. "WOW!" writes Julie from Sugar Hill, GA. Other customers describe it as "Truely Amazing," "Refreshing," and one raves, "My skin has CHANGED!"
